14 Apps for Retirees

About once a week I download apps whose only appeal is that they're free. So I have dozens -- maybe hundreds -- of apps that, like old shirts from high school, are out of sight, out of mind, unlikely to be seen or used  again.

Today, however, I came upon 14 apps that are useful to retirees. 

1. AARP -- A shortcut to the best that's available at the AARP website.


2. Elderly Care Guide -- A lot of retiring boomers have a big problem -- taking care of elderly parents. 
3. Mint -- Keep track of money. 
4. Check -- Similar to Mint, but with some interesting extras

5. Retirement Planner -- Important financial shtick 
6. Lumosity -- A bazillion ways to train your brain and have a little fun at the same time.
7. Words With Friends -- An awesome word game that keeps you connected.
8. Baby Boomer Dates -- A legit dating site for anyone over 45. 
9. Ultimate Baby Boomers Guide -- How to age, exercise and manage change  (not free). 
10. WebMD -- Info for anyone with a pulse. (for Apple, Android and Kindle) 

11. Urgent Care -- A registered nurse answers questions and, if needed, has a licensed physician call back within 30 minutes. 
12. VZ Navigator -- Tells you where to go (without insults), plus restaurants, gas stations, more...
13. Find My Phone... Ooops... Where-the-hell did I put it? Use this app on another device. 
14. Lots more for retirees at the Google Play Apps Store -- Just search "retiring."
