How to download an App that has been recommended to you

There is such an amazing array of apps in the Apple App Store - catchup TV apps, streaming apps like Netflix and Foxtel Go, apps that turn your device into a scanner, photo editing apps, mobile banking apps, and so much more.

So often we recommend specific apps in this blog. But how do you go about downloading and installing these apps?

We have recorded a tutorial on this topic, and have popped it in the Handy Hints library for iTandCoffee Club members.
