5 great apps for people over 50

There’s an app for this and an app for that, well, there’s an app for everything. In fact, if you are over 50 then there are a number of apps that can improve your daily life.

Bluelight Filter

If you are guilty of using your mobile phone or tablet at bedtime, then Bluelight Filter is excellent. It helps you minimise eye strain by allowing you to adjust the blue light in your screen. This helps support better sleep. The colour is natural so you don’t need to worry about being unable to view your content. You can adjust the filter to your preference and it won’t drain your battery either.

TrackMySpend

Saving for retirement is important and you can keep yourself on track with this app. It can track your spending, monitor your habits, and create a budget. The budget allows special spends like holidays as well. It can help you set limits on spending, categorise your needs over wants, and shows you exactly where your money is going.

Lumosity

There are plenty of brain training apps, but Lumosity is one of the most popular. Over 70 million people use it and it was developed by neuroscientists. It brags over 50 games that address cognitive functions like memory, flexibility, speed, problem-solving, and attention. You have a different program each day and it should help you keep your brain sharp.

TripGo

If you rely on public transport, then this app can be helpful in any major city across Australia. You can pick routes, personalise your trips, check travel times, and fares, too. You can even get service alerts.

Dragon Dictation

Instead of struggling to type emails or texts you can use this app to dictate your messages. It can also be used for social media and taking notes. There’s an editing feature as well, so you can make any necessary corrections via voice command.
