What is an app?

An app or application is a piece of software on your smartphone or tablet.

You can find guidance about how to download an app here.

Cost

Some apps are free.

You might have to buy some apps.

The apps might have a once off cost, in-app purchases or monthly subscription.

Always check the cost of apps.

Before buying an app, always check if there is a free version.

The free version is often called a ‘lite’ version.

Test the lite version to see if you find the app helpful.

Before you download an app

Look at who created the app.

• If the app is for people with aphasia, was a speech and language therapist involved in making the activities?

Look at who the app was made for.

• Make sure the content and images is appropriate for an adult.

Check that the app works on your device.

• Some apps will only be available on specific devices.

Be wary of apps that have ads on them. This can be distracting.
