Wow. I guess you spoiled us, because my husband and I are REALLY missing the old way you use to show us the apps – with the
picture of the app and your extra comments about it.
Ah, sorry Diana. I know, I miss it too and hope to bring it back. I’m trying out different things to evolve the program. I’ve done it for a couple of years and it takes a big chunk of the week. As I progress onto other topics, I’m trying to find a way of keeping it moving. I’ll take your feedback into account – maybe I choose one app to feature prominently. –Lorraine
I have enjoyed ‘World Flags, Geography, and Anthems’. One of the most colorful ways to learn about the world really.
