Al's Apps

Al the Albatross planned to scour the city of Glasgow to find out lots and lots of information about Glasgow, its culture and attractions, restaurants and bars, and transport around the city. But when he realised just how long the article he was going to put together would be, he changed his mind. So instead, Al presents a short list of useful phone apps for Ambassadors and Con-Goers from near and far.
