Applications for use on iPhones are available through
iTunes. If your phone is operative, you will already be signed up to iTunes
where ‘Apps’ are available. Open the ‘App Store’; select the ‘Search’ option,
and key in suitable words to describe the sort of application you want; for
example ‘bible concordance’; then press the search button. About 19 apps will
become available. Flick through them to find the one that most fits your
original need. To see if it will be suitable, open the page by tapping your
finger on the screen, and sample pages will appear. Simply skim through them as
you would photos by pulling or pushing them from side to side. Have a look at
the Reviews section by tapping your finger in the upper part of the screen. If
you think the application fits the bill, you can download it to your phone by
tapping the ‘Free’ box, or if it is not free, the box stating how much has to
be paid before downloading can take place. You will already have an arrangement
with iTunes for making payments for downloading Music, TV Programmes and Films.
I think being able to immediately gain access to the sort of
information you want via your chosen application is tremendously useful. In
this day and age, which is fast-moving, finding what you want quickly is important.
If I were both a gourmet and a travelling salesman I would download the Great
Britain and Ireland Michelin guide 2013, so that wherever I went I would be
able to locate a good restaurant. As I cruise my boat on open water, I
downloaded an excellent app that provides marine weather forecasts for free. It
is simply called ‘Marine Weather’. If you are into playing games, there are a
few sailing apps, such as ‘Top Sailor Sailing Simulator’ or ‘SailBlaster’. The latter
does not have such a good writ up as the former. Since I am not into playing
games, I can’t give an opinion. Apps that I particularly like are my ‘Kindle’
for reading E-books supplied by Amazon, and the ‘Flyto Chart Navigator’, which
has every chart for navigating around the UK; it has road maps too!
