Top Five Apps: Father’s Day

0

Posted by on the 15th June 2012

Dad’s day comes but once a year, a mere 24-hours in which your old man can take a break from the daily paternal grind of chopping down trees, wrestling stray bears, defending the homestead and, of course, providing you with a strong male role model. And the chances are you’ve probably forgotten all about it until you saw this. Shame on you.

Okay, Father’s Day never arrives with quite the oomph and fanfare that accompanies Mother’s Day, so if this Sunday’s special day for dad has come as a surprise to you, panic not, because there’s always an appy ending with Android…

Funky Pigeon

Okay, first up, the least you can offer dear old dad is a card. But, rather than a wildly inappropriate one hastily purchased from a 24-hour petrol station, grab yourself this Funky Pigeon free app, create a personalised card and have it sent directly to you for just £1.79, first class post included, and keep in the good books and the will…

Smart Tools

Review

Now we’re not suggesting you only spend £1.60 on the man who gave you life, but rather that this full set of digital DIY tools would make a  splendid little extra to augment the main gift you’ve undoubtedly splashed all your cash on. Comprised of five sets of essential handy tools in one cool app, Smart Tools may not be the motorbike he had to give up when you came along, but it’s the thought that matters…

Father’s Day Activities

Do something nice for or with the Pater Familias this Sunday by garnering ideas and activities from this handy little app. Whether it’s a day out digging divots on his favourite golf course, surprising him with his favourite fine home cooked meal, or just taking him for a pint or two, with Father’s Day Activities its all about the quality time.

Netflix

Review

Let pop enjoy his day off by kicking back with a selection of his favourite films right in the palm of his hand by treating him to the Netflix app. Packed with endless movie and TV options, if the old man’s idea of an ideal day is catching up on quality entertainment, then consider your dad-duty duly done.

How To Tie A Tie

Given the general gifts bandied around on this day more than any other, there’s an excellent chance you’ve searched your imagination for the perfect pop’s day gift and come up with… a tie. Well, finish the job off properly and add the app that’ll help him wear it with pateral pride. How To Tie A Tie uses animations to show how to tie a staggering variety of knots from the basic Half Winsor to the oft overlooked Oriental. What better way to strengthen your ties? Sorry.
