iOS 11 Upgrade Woes

iOS 11 is here, and with it the demise of any 32-bit apps that you might have been using. Apple helpfully provides a way to see which apps will stop working before you upgrade - and it was quite a shock to the system when I checked.

Going to Settings / General / About on my iPhone, I see that I have 462 applications installed - clicking that text shows the full list of incompatible applications... 49 in my case! On my iPad, things are even worse; 501 applications, 97 of which will stop working!

Below, I've listed all of these apps, together with my thoughts about what I'm going to do about losing this particular app, and links to my chosen replacements. As you might expect... this is going to be a work in progress, and I'll be updating this post as I go!
