If you’re out and about a lot, then you might have already noticed how much help a smart phone can be. That’s because of apps. A lot of these things used to be impossible to do on the move, or you’d need some sort of standalone solution (like a physical map, for example). But nowadays, all that power and more is bundled into an affordable and portable smart phone. So if you’re out and about often and need a bit of help on the go, you might already know about some of these apps. Many of them are free and can help you a ton. If you don’t, or would like a few more tips on which ones might be for you when you move about, check out these…
- Maps
Your phone will normally come with a map app included, but you can get additional or specialised ones if you want. Where would you be without a map app? Lost, probably. That’s why smart phones and map apps are so useful. Not only can they show you exactly where you are on a map (which used to be hard to work out), but they can also give you live directions and move around with you. Having maps for every location used to be difficult, but now you’ve got it all and more in your phone.
- Restaurant apps
Are you walking around a new location and not sure where to eat for lunch? You can use one of many useful restaurant review apps to find the absolute best place in your area.
- Taxi apps
Apps like Lyft have made it so much easier to get around no matter where you are. Simply call a cab virtually and get to your next location, all in a much more affordable solution than traditional taxis.
- Calendars
Do you often find yourself forgetting what you’ve got to do next? You’re not alone. A calendar app can help, especially with notifications.
- Gambling Apps
Whether you enjoy playing slots or some other casino games, you can get them all and more on your phone. That means you can win some money while on the move or sitting waiting, all from your phone.
- Communication
Of course, phones were built for communicating. But there are so many different options on your smart phone these days you might not know where to start. You can try video calls or even access social media no matter where you are.
- Money saving
Your smart phone can alert you to the best deals available in your area no matter where you are. That way you can have instant access to the best sales and more.
- Discount apps
The right discount apps can give you savings on regular purchases in stores when you’re on the move, as well as providing you cashback savings and more. Have a look to see what discounts you can get.
