Seniors you don’t have to remain in the dark when it comes to technology? While some seniors find it difficult to commit to new devices, many are embracing smartphones and use them daily. Smartphones help seniors connect with those they love and the world around them. To further enhance the benefits, seniors should consider installing apps.
There are so many apps to choose from and many of them if not all have great benefits to helping seniors. No matter if you are and Android user or an iPhone user a smartphone is a useful tool that becomes even more beneficial with the right apps.
Seniors shouldn’t feel intimidated in exploring the different apps that are available to them. These apps can be used for entertainment, traveling, photography, finances and even to make life easier.
Recently we visited #Verizon55Plus Workshop and their we learned about many great apps that were recommended for seniors.
The following are the top apps I would recommend to be downloaded on every senior’s smartphone.
Google Maps: Navigate your world faster and easier with Google Maps. Over 220 countries and territories mapped and hundreds of millions of businesses and places on the map. Get real-time GPS navigation, traffic, and transit info, and explore local neighborhoods by knowing where to eat, drink and go – no matter what part of the world you’re in.
Charmin Sit or Squat: Charmin’s Sit or Squat (Android, iOS) is pretty much a good template for toilet finder apps everywhere. Using your smartphone’s location sensors to display nearby public restrooms either in list form, or on a map.
Lightroom: Adobe Lightroom for mobile is a free app that gives you a powerful, yet simple solution for capturing, editing and sharing your photos. And you can upgrade for premium features that give you precise control with seamless access across all your devices – mobile, desktop and web.
Mobile Passport: Mobile Passport enables U.S. citizens and Canadian visitors to save time during the entry process at most major U.S. airports and cruise ports!
Uber: is a ridesharing app for fast, reliable rides in minutes – day or night. There’s no need to park or wait for a taxi or bus. With Uber, you just tap to request a ride, and it’s easy to pay with credit card or cash (in selected cities only). … – Just open the app and tell us where you want to go.
Paypal: From everyday purchases to running a business—we’ve got an app for you. Receive and send money to PayPal users with the PayPal App. Manage payments with the PayPal Business App. Get paid wherever you sell with the PayPal Here App.
Having a smartphone provides seniors a way to stay in touch with family and friends and coordinate events with other seniors. Not only can they stay connected, but they can also stay up to date with the latest apps we mentioned above.
Plus, for a limited time those who are 55 and older can now save big on the #Verizon55Plus plan.
How much does the Get Go Unlimited plan for 55+ cost?
The cost of the Go Unlimited plan for 55+ varies depending on the number of phones on your account. Here’s how it compares in price to Go Unlimited:

Nice blog
This looks like an awesome saving and will have to look at verizon.
There are SO many app choices to go through, I get bored sometimes trying to find things I want, so I like it a lot when others do it for me. Thanks.
I use to be with Verizon a few years ago. I miss their service, to be honest. ATT is kind a bit faulty and doesn’t have the greatest customer service. From my experience, anyway.
Makes me want to switch to Verizon! Sounds like a good deal.

Very interesting never new about this. I will have to tell my grandparents about this. They need a phone on hand daily. They just hate wasting money!
This is a great plan but I still think a little pricey for seniors, most of them are on fixed income, it looks like a great plan but I wish it was cheaper
This is a great plan for seniors! My family has always had Verizon.
These Apps listed sound terrific to try. I know I would like the PayPal App and the Uber would come in handy too. The Get Go Unlimited plan for 55 sounds great also.
That’s a huge savings for two lines of unlimited.
What a great idea, and a great way to help those on a fixed income get a phone.
Great blog with useful information! Thank you!
My mom actually got a smartphone 5 years before I did! However, she doesn’t like to use apps and gets frustrated with them.
Unlimited plan is a high plus
Good info. Thanks for this post.
Thanks for the info.
This is a great plan and would be perfect for my in-laws.
I need to tell my mom about this, thank you for sharing.
Great information to pass along to parents and grandparents!
Great way to save money! Thanks
This is very helpful information about the Verizon plan and the apps that are available.
This is great, I am so glad that Verizon offers plans for senior citizens! Most of them are on budgets so this helps out so much. Thank you for sharing!!
I use MetroPCS & happy with them. PayPal is awesome.
Good ideas, and I love PayPal just don’t like the fee that charge every month, but I guess that is for the Master Card you have or what not.
I didn’t know that. We have verizon and are in our 60’s
this is a great offer
That is great savings. Thanks for sharing. I know someone who may be interested!
This is really great for seniors on fixed incomes.
Thanks for the info, a couple of apps I didn’t know about but I will certainly add., the mobile passport and the sit or squat… although I don’t think that last one is necessarily age related, I mean who doesn’t need a bathroom once in a while when they’re out?
Oh! This is very good to know! May be time for me to switch – good savings!
This is so helpful! My mother in law has been dragging her feet- saying she can’t afford a phone. I’ll pass this to her.
