My Favorite Apps

 These are my favorite apps. I am continually adding apps, and when I find one I like, I tell everyone about it. I don’t care for apps that cost money. I do love simple and fun apps. At the time of this writing 2/1/18, these apps were free and worked for Android. The descriptions are from the websites if available. Tell me what you think and what apps you enjoy.
 
Please remember these apps are not designed to replace a trained practitioner.
