These days, most iPhone Apps in the App Store were designed with younger users and millennials in mind.
That’s why I created this list of iPhone apps for people like us… Seasoned Citizens 🙂
I’ve tried out the latest iPhone apps to compile this list of must-have iPhone apps specifically for people over the age of 60. Enjoy!
