Best free game apps for over 60s

If you told me 10 years ago, or even 5, that I’d be glued to my phone, I wouldn’t have believed you! Now, I can’t live without my iPhone – I’m switched on and can talk to all my friends and family easily. I also love a bit of a play with some games…I can lose hours on them. Luckily I have a lot of time on my hands otherwise I could get into trouble! I have had a look around at some of the most popular gaming apps for Apple and Android phones and there’s many more to choose from. Why not try something new, fun and addictive if you can?

Bubble Tropica – Android

This one is a brain-teasing bubble breaker game that’s easy to play…if you can keep up!

My Talking TomApple and Android

If you can’t have pets, why not adopt your own cyber kitten? This cute app lets you take care of a virtual cat by feeding, playing and taking care of it. It’s a number one game in 135 countries, so it must be good! It also has mini-games within the app so you can get more points and unlock rewards.

Farmville 2Apple and Android

 

I loved playing Farmville on Facebook and now it’s ready for mobile! You don’t even need to be on the internet for it to work, which is a bonus! Share, cultivate, care for your crops and collect rewards alone or with friends.
