What is your favourite free app? ??

I have a kindle app and because I am an Amazon Prime member I get a free ebook for it once a month,also get the prime music and the Amazon tv so works out good value

The one with the GPS tracker which means I can find my bike again if anyone steals it.

Thank you, some useful suggestions.

I like Quick Scan and Measure. With Quick Scan, hold a bar code in front of app, and it will show the cheapest price.

Using Measure, you can measure things without using a tape measure.

I signed up for bookbub and get a daily list of cheap/free kindle books emailed to me every day. I can tailor it so I only get the genres I enjoy too.

Have to say I now have more books to read than life-span to to read them - it is linked to Amazon so buying them is quick and easy if I choose paid-for ones.

Anja how long have you had Mr Number - does it start charging after a certain time?

Downloading apps like mad here ?
My own favourite is WeQ4U which allows me to make calls to premium rate no’s at the cost of a mobile call. As the title suggests it also queues for you if there’s a long wait ☺️

My s-in-l told me about “Glasses”... acts as a magnifier and light.... great to read menus etc in “romantic” restaurants....lol!

Persevere framilode... if you still have a local library they usually run computer/tablet classes. My local library also allows you, if you are a member, to download an app...RB digital that give you access to a selection of free magazines, audio books and ebooks... I use it a lot.

I like my Alexa app that enables me to use it like a real physical Alexa. Ditto Google home, I can tell it to call anyone on my contacts list and it does so over WiFi, thus free. Another vote for My supermarket too. Local bus app ditto.

Train line,bus timetable,WhatsApp,Spotify.are my favourites on an android phone.

I like Picture this it's a app for identifying flowers all you do is take a photo and it will tell you about it ?

Shazam. If you hear music or songs being played and don't recognise them, Shazam can listen to them and will identify the song/music and artist.

Mine links to my Spotify account (anther favourite, listened to every day) and I have a Shazam playlist on there for all the songs I've had to ask Shazam to identify

Loving this thread. I like B and M app, scan stock in store and sometimes they are giving away things for £1. Not just little things either. Bedding, shelving units etc. I’m off to start downloading some apps

Truecaller is a free number and scam call blocker which is brilliant

My favourites have to be:
WhatsApp -send photos and short videos in an instant-brilliant!
Patient Access -make appointments and repeat prescriptions.
IMDb -all you need to know about tv and films.

And last but not least and probably the one that I spend FAR to much time on..

Gin plus-the card game,gin-rummy. Play with people all over the world. Love it.

Apps? haven't a clue what they are

Ooh Urmstongran what a fabulous post. I'm pretty IT savvy, having been a typesetter for many years, so I already have quite a lot of the best-known apps - WhatsApp etc for example. But there are several on here that I've never heard of and will be really useful, so thank you

Some great ideas for apps on her! I love WhatsApp for communicating with the children and getting photos of the DGC

Scrabble !

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
