What is your favourite free app? ??

Pocket is superb isn’t it Brightphoebus? I’ve been using it for over 4 years now and it’s far and away my favourite!
??

WhatsApp is a favourite of mine, as it keeps the family and close friends in touch with photos and holidays. There are a few more that I will download, thanks to your recommendations.

I've only had a smart phone for a few months - my DD gave me her old i phone as the kids kept telling me I needed to get rid of my basic old Nokia. I use WhatsApp all the time for contact with family and lots of groups of friends. I thought I'd have problems with the touch screen but I'm coping better than I expected. I've only got the apps my DD put on for me so will have to experiment!

Use quite a few of the apps on here. Keep them coming! .
Just remembered another favourite - Strava. You can use it to record walks/ bike rides so that you can see the route later and see how far you have gone. I made a new years resolution to use it on every bike ride this year to track how many miles I do (378 so far).

Urmstongran, thank you so much for Pocket. Up to now I’ve been emailing (and losing track of ) articles. This will change my life.

Toilet Finder it tracks wherever you are and says where all the nearest public loos are ?

Google photos.
Google assistant allows you to improve or alter photos.

Animate or make a series of photos in to a movie with music.

Make a collage with photos of your choice.

Photos can be placed into albums.

I have hundreds of photos on my phone.
When I reach a point of too many photos for phone storage it automatically puts oldest photos into to cloud which can be easily retrieved at anytime.

....and RBdigital where I get all the magazines free from my library - you register your library card and you can get all the expensive magazines to read free!

Has to be Pinterest for me - I save anything I see and fancy for recipes, craft ideas, room looks, things to go with DC, knitting patterns....everything gets popped in there where I can find it again!

If you want a fun app, an impossibly difficult game, but ever so slightly addictive, try GeoGuessr. It uses Google street maps to show you a random location anywhere in the world, and you have to try and guess/work out where it is. My guesses have mostly been wildly out, except for just one, which showed some ramshackle shops with Russian signage. Now Russia is a big place, but I managed to guess just 3km from its exact location ?.

Love. Clumsy fingers

I live this thread. Will be reorganizing my mobile shortly.
I use WhatApp and bus time apps regularly. On Twitter, FB, also recently downloaded an App called Bubble (for checking level 8n DIY jobs.
I love Houzz and Pinterest too

Another vote here for the Kindle app - it means that wherever I am I can continue reading my current book even if I haven't got my Kindle with me.
And Shazam - I love that one for identifying music, it's a must for me.
Don't think I've seen Toilet Finder mentioned. Well worth having if you're anything like me and always need a loo when you're out and about! This will locate the nearest one for you, wherever you are.

Be My Eyes. It’s a great idea of an app where a blind or poor sighted person can contact you via their video to ask for help with such things as lists of ingredients on tins or matching colours for clothes.

There are over a million volunteers but I don’t think you can have too many. I was contacted once but frustratingly missed the call. ?

You don’t need to download pocket glasses app....iPhone already has a magnifier that does the same -settings-general-accesssability-magnifier..just turn it on ..tap home button 3 times when u need it .

Soundhound - when you hear music and want to know what the name or the artist is, just point your phone towards the source of the sound and Soundhound will tell you. There are a number of similar apps (I think Shazam is the name of one).

Copy me that. So good I bought the paid version. You can copy any recipe you spot and have them all in one place. Use it so much!

On my Android tablet I have Grabbyword. It is a variation of Scrabble, but every time you make a word you steal all your opponents' letters from that word, and the score they got from them. You can play against the computer. Great fun, as you can steal lots of points from your opponent. It does flash adverts up during the game, but you can delete them. I love it.
Also Jigsaroid. It lets you make jigsaws from any pictures in your gallery or the internet. You can choose the number of pieces, and it lets you store pieces in 2 trays out of the way while you are solving.
And of course Spotify free, to listen to while I solve the jigsaws.

Quidco in 1 year I have saved £153 by buying stuff via this app, and Oldies Radio, great choice of old music, 50s and 60s and much more.

Booking.com, beautifully designed. Hotel booked and they give you reminders that the trip is coming-up and you are still in time to cancel/change the hotel booking, highlight ‘things to do’ in the destination, give you a map, suggestions for transport from airports etc, distance to local highlights - restaurants, museums, etc.

WhatsApp
iPlayer
Trainline
Google Maps (which can show you walking or travelling in real time, shops and places of note)
Topcashback (just got £75 back from TalkTalk after signing up for new BB deal)
Too many to mention and thanks for suggestions on here, I'll be checking them out.

Wassapp for sharing with family all kinds of pictures and info. Shazam for when I’m out and about and can’t remember the name of a tune I’m hearing. And words with friends.

I removed as many preinstalled apps that it would allow me to remove, and disabled the rest that I don't use. My battery lasts a lot longer. I never play games on my phone and the only app I have downloaded is a call recorder which records every call received or made and then asks if you want to keep the recording. It has proved very useful especially in legal matters.

However on my tablet I have Scrabble which I love.

To my eternal shame.... Find My iPhone because between my malfunctioning memory and my toddlers it is never to be found in any sensible place

Thanks notgoneyet that’s kind of you.

The biggest thanks though are for all ‘you lot’ who are taking the time & trouble to post - so a big ?? from me!
