My tech knowledge is c.2002 and I have no idea which apps out there are useful 🤦🏻‍♀️

Are there any apps out there that you love and/or have revolutionised your life?!

Flightradar24.

I live near Gatwick and love knowing where the planes are flying off to 🤓

So addictive, I've got it installed too and when I hear or see a plane go over, out it comes. 😁

Merlin bird ID. It identifies bird song and can recognise multiple birds at a time.

I like Due. So much quicker and easier to use than the Reminders app which came pre installed on my phone. I put so much in there and it clears my brain out!

Night Sky. Great for identifying stuff when you pretty much only recognise the moon!

Stashcook. If you find a recipe online you can just tap to 'stash' it in the app. Plus you can amend the number of people you want it to serve, and it will adjust all of the quantities.

I love wordscapes and duolingo

Microsoft To Do - shared to do lists. E.g. groceries. It means you and whoever you share the list with always know what is needed for the house and can pick it up.
We also have shared To Do list and shared Series to Watch list!

PlantNet. It's great for identifying leaves and flowers etc.

Hey! I totally get it, the app world can be overwhelming. One app that has been really helpful for me is Youper. It's a mental health app that provides self-guided therapy and has helped me manage stress and anxiety. Other than that, I love using apps like Procreate for digital painting, Calm for meditation, and Kindle for reading. What about you, any favorite apps you'd recommend?
