APPS

My iPad updates automatically, my iPhone just flags when a number of updates are ready and I let it get on with it while I use it for something else., like ringing someone. The apps I use run on both pieces of hardware, not a problem, I find Apps useful.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one driven mad by this obsession with apps. What the hell is wrong with the good old-fasioned website?

Good morning everyone!

I hear what you're saying! I have a mobile and a laptop but no tablets etc. and I find apps a bit pesty! All the updating and other stuff so I just use apps when needed.

I've got a couple on that I loaded myself but all others are pre-programmed!

I was using apps, under duress, and would probs have installed more but can’t remember my Apple ID and is such a performance to get another one. Thing is I wrote my password on the back if an old greetings card in my odds and sods drawer and used to work like a treat, but when I try to use it now it says invalid password. Do they make a rule of changing passwords every few years or something after which your password becomes defunct??
In any case as you can probs tell I don’t find apps easy or fun.

I need a banking app for 2 step authentication which increases security on your phone, smart watch, tablet or laptop. The only other apps I use are for weather, music and banking.

Some apps will only run on phones and others only on tablets. I have an extra account with one of those "alternative" online banks and it will only run properly on the tablet. However I much prefer the Pinterest app to using the online version on my PC. Its much faster.

I'm an app lover as well.

I only have what I need but I do go through my tablet and phone every now and then just having a clean up, deleting what I don't need, getting rid of cookies, closing tabs, etc.

I don’t have many apps on my phone and definitely not banking apps. I have bus and train apps, Waze and a weather app. I prefer the physical loyalty cards to the phone versions. I have more apps on my iPad including banking apps which I only use at home.

On your phone go to setting >App Store & make sure “automatic updates” is switched on. You then won’t need to wait for apps to update every time you use them. Also as others have said - delete apps you don’t use. There are some very useful apps out there so don’t throw out the baby with the bath water!

I've culled my apps to the ones I absolutely need and the ones that are actually useful. (Not very many!)

And yes, I have a couple that need to update every single time I use them.

All I can suggest is using your settings check your storage and that all your apps are closed.

Using on tablet and phone I just don't get on with them

Using on my tablet

Love not live!

PS I live my apps!

Are you using apps on your phone or tablet?

I use many apps. I tend to avoid using them unless I have (parking apps mainly or maps) using mobile data. Also always make sure your apps are properly closed, having apps left open does slow up your device and those apps.
