So my dad has got my mum a nexus tablet. Can’t imagine it’s the best present for her , but too late now.

Anyone recommend any apps for the older folk ? Basic games or shop apps ? I’ve put on the usually like bbc news, scotrail, tesco etc. I don’t really want them to get involved with paying for apps quite yet. She’s never used a pc, but I think that is probably an advantage tbh

Cheers

Dave

My mum uses a lot of the news apps and doesn’t bother buying a paper anymore.

Whatsapp, so you can message and share photographs.

BBC news
BBC weather
BBC sport (if she likes sport that is)
Hangouts (whatsapp doesn’t work on tablets)
Loads of puzzle type games
TVcatchup for watching live tv
BBC iPlayer
IPlayer radio
Tv guide
Whichever bank she is with should have a banking app available
Loads of shopping apps.
Plus once you download a few play will begin to suggest others you may be interested in.

Kindle
BBC
Skymap

Email and social media, GPS navigation, ebook readers.

all the games in the AI suite (Gin rummy, backgammon, chess etc)

Puzzle retreat is a favourite of mine too.
Countdown for android
BT WiFi app if you are a BT BB customer
Wiki app
ebay app
yr.no widget

Can’t find the AI suite can you do a link?

Zippy, I’ve just got a Nexus 7 as a late present for myself and found this thread. I found Ai factory in Google store.
