Food delivery app SkipTheDishes recently revealed information about what COVID-19 has changed when it comes to consumer behaviour. Everything from eating routines to peak hours has shifted because of the pandemic. 

The new rush hour for orders is at 5 pm, with dinner pre-orders up and lunch pre-orders dropped by almost half. And people seem to crave food more in the late afternoons at around 3 to 4 pm. People still order in a lot on the weekends, but there's been an increase in weekday orders. There are fewer late evening orders now since a lot of Canadians are staying in.

Google Maps now shows wheelchair accessibility information

In honour of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Google Maps introduces a new feature that lets you know whether a location is wheelchair accessible. The navigation app has wheelchair accessibility information for over 15 million places around the world. When you have the feature enabled, you will see if a location has an accessible entrance when there's a wheelchair icon on a place's listing. When you scroll further, you'll find out if the establishment offers accessible seating, restrooms, and parking. You need to make sure you have the latest version of Google Maps on your Android or iOS device to get access to this new handy feature. Once you've updated, head to Settings and select Accessibility. From there, find Accessible Places.

The feature though, is only as good as the people who contribute to it. And so, Google is bringing to iOS devices an easier way to contribute accessibility information. Android users can already share this information on their devices. According to iPhone in Canada, the guide comes with tips for rating accessibility, in case you aren't sure about what counts as being "accessible."

'Minecraft Dungeons' is an immersive multi-player dungeon crawler

By Canadian Reviewer Staff

If you love dungeon crawlers like Diablo III and have an affinity for Minecraft's aesthetics and characters, then the upcoming Minecraft Dungeons will both surprise and delight you. Coming to PC and Xbox One on May 26 (now available for pre-order!) this epic dungeon crawler is set in Minecraft but instead of digging around with a shovel, your blocky characters are questing across various realms.

On the Xbox One S, the game looked and felt superbly immersive. We tried both the single-player and local multiplayer setting and despite the game's leisurely look and feel, found it to be both challenging and exciting. The best thing about Minecraft Dungeons is that it has more in common with action RPG games than it does with Minecraft. As a Diablo III aficionado, i felt right at home upgrading armour, selecting companion bats or dogs, and hunting for better weapons, drops, and loot crates within the game.
