What are the best apps to look out for in 2018? Which are the ones that will leave you feeling ‘appy – and which will leave you feeling app-rehensive?

We all love a good app, those helpful little downloads that help us organise our lives.

These five great little apps should keep entertained, informed and your life running like clockwork for the next 12 months.

Money Dashboard

Safe and secure, the app’s budget planner will show you exactly what you’re spending and where, help you set financial goals and plan for the future.

LastPass

With so many online accounts to remember are you always forgetting which password goes where? LastPass remembers all your passwords in one secure app, so you don't have to. This free app keeps all your important information safe in one place, helps you generate strong passwords and also lets you share passwords and information with friends and family in the case of an emergency.
