The option to overlay PC games with an FPS (Frames Per Second) counter to gauge performance has been around for a while through a host of gameplay recording and benchmarking apps as well as digital distribution and multiplayer platforms the likes of Valve’s Steam and Ubisoft’s Uplay.
One would think the same feature wouldn’t be required on mobile devices, but with an ever-growing repository of smartphones and tablets out there, each yielding differing levels of performance for countless mobile games, the inquisitive among us will want to know how our devices fare against the requirements of the latest software on offer. Android-powered devices already have a couple apps that display a live FPS counter for the entire OS or log frame rates in the background to create performance reports, which is understandable, considering the open-source platform has a way larger number of devices under its belt compared to its biggest rival, Apple’s iOS.
That being said, Apple has begun to support a larger repertoire of devices with latest firmware as well, and let’s not forget the company’s many customers who’re content using even older devices. The ability to measure performance across different apps and games may not be as big of a focus on iOS devices, or all mobile devices, for that matter, but that doesn’t users won’t like to have the option. That’s probably what developer Zhidog was thinking while creating FPSCounter, a jailbreak tweak for iOS 9+ that, as its name suggests, overlays any app with a live frame rate counter. The counter is displayed within a small, mostly-unnoticeable rectangle that is color-coded to match the frame rate. It appears in the top-left corner of landscape-oriented games and apps while in portrait orientation, it is shifted to the top and middle of the screen.
The tweak adds its own configuration menu within the Settings app, allowing you to select the apps within which you want the counter to be displayed. Unfortunately, as of this writing, the tweak isn’t nearly as free of problems as you’d want it to be. It doesn’t seem to work with all apps and games.
In fact, out of the 10 games we tested it with, it only fully worked with one (namely, Angry Birds 2), though it did force the status bar to become visible, obscuring certain elements of the game. With the rest, it either simply failed to display the counter, displayed the counter across the middle of the screen, or caused the game to crash either on launch or past the main menu. The four apps we tested with the tweak all ended up crashing.
It is free, though, and the only solution of its kind that we’ve come across on the jailbreak store. Also, there’s a possibility We’d recommend downloading the tweak to your device and keeping an eye out for updates containing fixes.

When it comes to gaming, mobile or otherwise, 2018 can easily be described with one word: Fortnite. Epic's battle royale third-person shooter is now so popular, there's hardly any need to describe the game. Still, if you just came out of hibernation and haven't heard of it, here's the gist: you jump out of a flying bus, land on an island and start smashing everything you see. When you're not busy destroying your environment, you're trying to kill anyone that crosses your path.
Your goal is simple: be the last one alive. Oh, yeah, you can build physics-defying structures as well, adding to the chaos of it all. PUBG is Fortnite's more mature, realistic-looking cousin. Once again, you find yourself stranded on an island with a bunch of people trying to off you. If you find the right weapons and navigate the ever-shrinking playing zone properly, you'll have a good chance of winning. But at the end of the day, it's up to your aiming skills to keep you alive, and we all know on mobile that's not a small feat.
There's a reason people enjoy playing battle royale games — the hunt-or-be-hunted environment adds a whole new level to the gaming experience. Shadowgun: Legends is one of the richest FPS games available on mobile. It has a proper single-player campaign, co-op missions, raids and of course, PvP battles. The in-game lobby is designed like a town and will give you the feeling of a full-fledged desktop or console game. There are plenty of features to unlock and you can customize everything from your character to your weapons.
All that comes for free, but with the usual caveat - in-game purchases. Still, what you're getting for free is quite impressive and definitely worth checking out if you're on the hunt for a shooter with some depth to it. The fifth installment in the Modern Combat first-person shooter series comes with even better graphics than before, a rich, story-driven single-player mode, as well as a fun multiplayer option where squads of players face each other in battle. Modern Combat 5 introduces four classes of warriors that you get to pick from: Assault, Heavy, Recon, or Sniper.
Choosing a class defines the way you will play, and the more you advance in the game, the more you get to develop your class skills.The single-player mode has improved a lot since Modern Combat 4, taking you into vastly different environments, from Venice to Tokyo, but it’s also the pure creativity in gameplay - from missions where you protect someone, to cinematic animations where your hero does crazy stunts to survive, then shooting from a helicopter, and so much more. The new MC5: Blackout is tons of fun! The multiplayer, though, is where things really get insane with squad battles, global and squat chat, leaderboards, and everything in between to get you hooked. As in the first installment of the game, in Dead Trigger 2 the player has to survive by any means necessary and fend off the oncoming waves of flesh-hungry zombies. This time, however, you won't be alone in this endeavor.
That's because Dead Trigger 2 is focused on multi-player gaming where the story develops in real time for all participants. And the effort of every player counts.Of course, the mandatory improvements in the graphics department are indeed present. In Dead Trigger 2 you'll see real-time water reflections, dynamic vegetation, and enhanced ragdoll physics. The levels have been made bigger as well, giving the player more freedom to explore and more places to hide. Shadowgun: DeadZone is a multiplayer-only game, which allows you to battle it out against other players from around the world. The game keeps the same third-person view, with the camera trailing behind your character, and you can even use the cover system that was present in the first game, which makes things a lot more interesting. There are to modes: Deathmatch and Zone Control.
The first one doesn't need explanation, while the second one is team-based, with a few control points scattered around the map. You and your teammates have to stay in close proximity to the points in order to control them and win points. Adding some variety in terms of aesthetics is Gun 3D.
The graphics style of this game is immediately recognizable as inspired by Minecraft, but the shooting aspect of this game is as good as any other on this list. There are enough multiplayer modes to satisfy any FPS fan and the battle royale mode (of course there is one) is surprisingly well fleshed out. Leveling up your character and collecting in-game currency will allow you to unlock more powerful weapons and craft decorations for your base. Those cosmetic elements actually serve a purpose, each adding some benefit during play. If you're a fan of the mix between sci-fi and horror, then Dead Effect 2 is the game for you. There are no other players in this game, just you and a bunch of deformed enemies on a spaceship.
The graphics quality is amazing and the overall feel is very similar to that of a game from the Doom series. However, Dead Effect 2 lets you choose one of three characters to play as, each having a distinct playstyle, adding some replay value to the game. As usual, you get to unlock skills and various other improvements to make your life a bit easier. Dead Effect 2 is one of those titles that make you think about how far mobile gaming has come in the last few years, especially when it comes to free games.
