Chas, I agree, and that's why I have an Android 5 that does a great job and it was free with the signup with the carrier.
Just purchased a Diggro Smart Watch for Carol for Christmas - she will probably hate me for doing this, but what the Hell, nothing will have changed!

It's really cool and works on the Android 5 system, so it is very user friendly.
Merry Christmas,
Gary
