A Christmas Listicle: Top 10 Apps

A Christmas listicle, no, not quite a miracle, but a listicle sent to me of a top ten apps to download this Christmas.

So what is a Christmas listicle? Something PR companies usually put together to help people like me add some content to the site and get back into the swing of things after having a not-so-good year.

This isn’t about me though and not something I’d blog about on here, this is about a list of apps curated to provide some entertainment, keep you occupied and maybe organise your life in the new year.
