50 Apps That Will Blow Your Mind

Greetings Dear Readers

This week I was asked to appear on LotusFM and chat on the Alan Khan show all about Apps.  I was asked to bring a list of 10 Apps.  I found plenty more.  This is the result and you can find some wonderful apps in this list.  Just a warning, some of them can be very addictive and some have resulted in families having huge arguments because people are too busy playing with their apps.  Enjoy!
