My Dad is a cognitively intact 99(!) years old in assisted living.


One thing that happens as you get older is that your fingers can’t trigger the capacitive touch sensor on the iPad, so a stylus makes it much easier for him to navigate.


I am trying out a tech-support app that allows me to control his iPad

so far, so good. I was able to find a movie he wanted to watch (Vertigo) and start it on his iPad.


Hope this helps!
