I now realise how easy it is to download an app.

Today I downloaded BBC Sport asI discovered yesterday I could watch The Davis Cup live from here even though the BBC does not advertise this anywhere.

The National Trust is a good app to have too so that if you are on hols you can look up local places of interest to visit.

Over to you.

Lona wow, Toilet Finder! Thanks, now installed on my iPhone. The time we've wasted driving round desperately looking for a toilet when out and about!

The most used app I have on my iPhone is the one that does not let my phone ring when I am driving, very useful.

Mysupermarket is really useful. You can look up an item and see what price it is in all the major supermarkets.
Does away with all the tramping round to see what's on special offer...unless you enjoy that sort of thing :-)

I have BBC Weather, Netflix, Phases of the Moon, a Scrabble app and a sudoku app.
I deleted Facebook as my account was hacked.

Rascal are these free apps ? Can you tell me about the Calm one ? T U.

Hello NanKate Yes all of the apps are free. I would never pay for apps. The Calm one is Mindfulness and Meditation. I think some of the content can be paid for but there are other Mindfulness apps that all of the content is free.
