Self Service

The document that can be downloaded from the link below can be viewed and/or printed. It lists some common Apps (or Applications) that you may find useful on your device. Our list favours free apps that do the job well but are not specialist types. For example, for managing your photographs on a computer, (digital images) there are two free apps that give good results and are not hard to use. For the best results for images, you could use Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom or similar, however these may require many hours of learning and are quite expensive to purchase.

Remember always to get your Apple Apps from Apple App Store or Android Apps from the Google Play Store.
Other App sources, sometimes called 'sideloading', for mobile devices can have serious security risks.

Apps for Windows computers can be got from the internet or sometimes the Microsoft Store.
Please ensure that any apps downloaded from the internet for Windows computers are from the original app maker and not a fake website. Always ask for assistance if in doubt. Run a security scan on any downloaded app file to ensure it is safe.

Apps for Apple Mac computers can be got from the Apple App store. 

Where the mobile App is shown in RED it is a native app i.e. it is already installed on your device at purchase. If it has been deleted it can be re-installed from the App Store.

Apps listed in italics are basic level.

Tech Mates from Computer Club can be booked to assist with installation of any of these Apps but no one is an expert in every app available. There will be some personal learning necessary to understand how the app works and how to get the best results.
