Although many seniors opt for a simple feature phone, more and more seniors are embracing the technology of smartphones, and the great benefits that can come with them. However, we\u2019ve found that many seniors do not know about the plethora of apps that can help make their lives easier and more efficient. Luckily, the team here at Twigby has researched and put together a helpful app page<\/a> with its own \u201cSenior Focused Apps\u201d section to help seniors find apps that can make their daily lives just that much easier. In this blog post, we\u2019ll be discussing some of the best apps for seniors and why these apps can make any smartphone senior-friendly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Turn your smartphone into a powerful magnifying glass<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Difficulty reading small fonts goes beyond what\u2019s on your smartphone\u2019s screen. To get help reading magazines, product labels and more, we suggest installing a magnifying glass app on any senior\u2019s smartphone.<\/p>\n

One such app to help achieve this is Magnifying Glass + Flashlight. Available for both Android<\/a> and iPhone<\/a>, Magnifying Glass + Flashlight is a nifty app that quickly turns a phone\u2019s camera into a magnifying glass, making it an excellent tool for those who have trouble reading. Magnifying Glass + Flashlight works by enlarging difficult to read text by up to 5x as well as giving you the ability to take a picture of what you’re magnifying in case you may need it later.<\/p>\n

Never forget to take your medicine again<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Forgetting to take your medicine can be an unsettling or scary thing. With so many things to remember each day, remembering to take your daily medicine or vitamins can sometimes fall behind other more pressing matters. However, there are many apps to help you remember which pills to take, and when to take them. One of these apps, Medisafe Meds & Pill Reminder, is available for both Android <\/a>and iPhone<\/a>, and is a great tool to have on your side.<\/p>\n

Medisafe is a very useful app that helps you keep track of your medications, supplements and vitamins, reminding you when to take your pills. Additionally, Medisafe can help keep track of blood pressure, glucose and other measurements. Also, with Medisafe, you can easily share results with doctors, making this a true healthcare sidekick for seniors.<\/p>\n

Challenge yourself with fun puzzles<\/h2>\n

Using puzzles and games are a great way to keep your mind challenged and active. But sometimes we get tired of the same old puzzles and games because they just aren’t challenging anymore. With the Lumosity app, you can play over 40 puzzles and games to challenge and train your brain.<\/p>\n

The Lumosity app challenges your brain with fun and interactive puzzle games keeping your mind active. Luminosity’s educational games for adults are sure to put your memory, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to the test. The games are quick and simple yet very enjoyable. Luminosity is free and available for both Android<\/a> and iPhone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For seniors, embracing smartphone technology does not have to be nerve-racking. In fact, it can be a very helpful and efficient experience if you know the right apps to install. We hope this short list of some of the best apps for seniors<\/a> can help make the smartphone experience enjoyable and helpful.
