What Is Your Favourite or Most Useful App

I find WhatsApp really useful, much more so than emails really for day-to-day messages. Our local community of neighbours on this estate has one, set up during Covid, and it's very useful for keeping in touch and finding out about local problems, social events etc. Often if somebody wants to get rid of something, somebody else would like it.
I've got apps on my phone for my tumble dryer and for my dehumidifier, both of which I use for clothes drying. Our living room is on a different floor to these machines, so it's good to be able to set them, stop them or check whether they are running without having to go downstairs to look at them.
I'm pretty old school about parking, unless it is free or can be done by card or cash I'd rather get to my destination by bus!

I forgot my banking app, really useful for almost everything, I only wish I could use it to order cash to be delivered by drone when necessary! All our local bank branches have closed, the nearest is around 40 minutes away by bus now.

LOL good idea ... I use mine a lot too. Can you withdraw money at your local post office?

WhatsApp works fine on my android phone,butI just cannot get it up and running on my laptop, for no reason I can see,as I have Windows 11.

I have been pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to use the new app for train and bus journeys in Denmark.

AS usual, I'm confused. I have a smartphone reluctantly because I'm forced to these days. However,I avoid apps on it like the plague. But I do have some of what you are all calling apps on my desktop. e.g.Amazon, NHS, Facebook,
AS for banking - I see people whipping out their phone and waving it at the supermarket, but I would be absolutely terrified of losing my phone! So are the apps on your phone the same as the websites on my PC?

rowyn, I’m not that knowledgeable about apps on your phone but I think that if you lost your phone the finder would not be able to access anything on it because of face recognition etc . Check with the younger generation.
I do have apps for NHS , banking etc on my IPhone but don’t have Apple Pay as that seems a step too far for me . It must be perfectly safe though because the rest of my family use it all the time .

Google Earth
I only use my phone for calls, texts and maybe to check Google Earth or local bus times, and sometimes to check my emails if I’m out. I don’t download apps as such. On my iPad, I use Google Earth, Iplayer, Teams, online banking ( though not the apps ).

I use Whats App the most. The Merlin bird app is my favourite. So easy to use and so responsive. I check the birds in my garden and on my walk every day.

I never have cash so parking apps for me and Vinted!

Duolingo is my favourite. I get hours of educational fun on it every day.

I say hurrah for Yuka too, shows all the crap in cosmetics as well as food. I just use the free version of the app; I’m too pennypinching to pay for membership privileges.
Also Helps me find ready meals which aren’t UPF.
