Pity there isn't an app to stop you pressing the wrong button on your phone when posting on this forum.

I'm not much of an "appy" person grin but my (adult) kids both use this one for cooking and shopping:

My latest favourite is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mipermit.android Mipermit] which lets me pay for local car parks without scrabbling for change or fighting with a machine. You can add hours without having to go back to the car park.

I love the iplayer radio app all I ever need to access any radio programmes I may have missed.

I've always been a bit scatterbrained when it comes to finances.

I find it difficult for some reason to keep figures in my head and despite trying several ways of keeping track of my spending there always seemed to be something I forgot to mark up in my wee book with the result that I never had as much money as I thought. sad

One day I realised there must be an app for that and lo and behold thanks to this marvellous invention I know exactly where I am.

I know I could do exactly the same thing on paper but perhaps because I'm so used to using technology I don't forget to update it every day. smile

We all spend so much time on our tablets/smartphones etc, that we at GNHQ have decided to start rounding up our pick of the most useful/entertaining or even downright silly apps.

This will be a regular thing, and to get things started, we'd like to hear from you about which ones have benefited you in some way.

So, which apps make your life easier? Which ones make you laugh? Which ones do you find helpful? Which is your overall favourite? Serious or silly, we'd like to hear about it. Thanks all cupcake
