It has just been launched a new app that will totally change your life: it will make you lose weight by eliminating those annoying love handles, it will make you fill up for free and make you rich! No, of course that's not true, or rather, not entirely. The miraculous app is indeed a hoax, but there are some that can help you solve the little big flaws of everyday life. By using them, you will save time and money, which maybe you can then use to lose weight or get rich! So here are the 5 apps, or rather categories of apps, that will change your life.
This traffic is a jungle!
You have surely thought about it at least once, irritated by the horns or by the endless queues, or even already opening the garage door, foretelling what is about to happen and dreaming of teleportation. Everyone now knows the famous one Google maps, app that indicates the path to get wherever you want. The application indicates not only the way to reach the predetermined destination, but also the shortest way, the one without tolls or extra-urban roads. There is also a path for pedestrians and for those who want to travel by public transport. Not everyone knows, however, that Google Maps is not the only app able to help us on the move.
In fact, it also exists Waze, the driver-friendly app. Waze monitors the traffic situation and therefore allows us to choose the shortest route not only based on mileage, but also for the expected travel times. Another gem of this application is its contribution when refueling the car. Waze indeed indicates the petrol stations that apply the most convenient prices, which is no small feat given the current costs. Those who do not have a car or are looking for to pollute less using public transport can rely on Moovit. This application monitors the actual movements, arrivals and departures of buses and co., Avoiding unnerving waits or rushing at breakneck speed to take the vehicle that will take us home or to the office.
The post at the post office
However, travel is only part of the problem. Raise your hand if you have never wasted hours queuing in a public office, or who has remembered an errand that you should have done in a certain area of the city only after returning home. Well here are the apps that are right for us: Qurami It allows us to reserve our place in the row - then to take the infamous number - via the internet, then show up at the counter directly at your turn.
Listen, listen: it is possible to carry out the same operation also using the app of Poste Italiane, obviously only for the relative offices. Then there is also Easily done: this app, once our commitments have been memorized, informs us of what to do in a specific area when we are there. In this way we will be able to say goodbye to the trousers in the laundry collected after two months, to dinners without bread and to any inconvenience deriving from forgetfulness.
Shopping that ... sting!
Compared to the initial idea of getting rich, there is certainly a first step that should not be overlooked: saving! Many items, especially tech items, are known to often cost significantly less online than in stores. But how to do a know if it is convenient to buy what we are in front of or if it is better to buy it on the internet? In this case, the Amazon app, the giant of online sales. This app allows us to scan the barcode of the products through the camera of our mobile phone. Once this is done, Amazon will show us the prices applied to that item by its sellers, so that we can make a comparison and decide if and where to buy.
On the other hand, those who are struggling with the furnishing of a new home, or are simply looking for a new wardrobe, can rely on ikea place: this useful app allows you to create the virtual version of the environments we want to furnish, and then insert the items in the Ikea catalog, in order to immediately check if they are suitable for style and sizes.
Staying on the theme of shopping, Zara has inaugurated the first pop-up store dedicated to online orders inside the mall Westfield Stratford from London. In this case it is not an app but its completion. The shop is indeed a hybrid between the traditional sales concept and the new generation one. Garments and accessories can be seen and touched, but you can buy them with your credit card and you will leave the shop empty-handed. The staff will assist customers with mobile devices, through which it will be possible to have orders received by those who buy them within the same day or the next, depending on whether they are placed before or after 14:00.
Walk towards profit
But in addition to spending our money we also have the chance to earn them. The opportunity gives it to us MoveCoin. This app pays the user with 10 cents for each kilometer traveled and certified as a human motorcycle (so don't cheat!). The walk is recorded through the smartphone gps e the remuneration is in digital currency, i.e. in movecoin. The user then has several options. These range from converting the amount into euros by crediting it to a prepaid card (which can be subscribed through the app at no cost), to using the earnings to make purchases in large-scale retail stores. There is also the possibility of having part of the amount spent returned in movecoin, through the cashback.
Survive Whatsapp and be able to meet
We close the list with Doodle, an app that is as simple as it is ingenious in our opinion. Admit it: it has happened to everyone, in the era of hyperconnection, in which you can hear, video call, exchange messages and much more through myriads of applications, to feel a little stupid. The reason? Exchange thousands of messages without being able to arrange to meet in person. In this regard i Whatsapp groups they can be considered a real incarnation of evil: everyone says their own, then changes it and then reciprocates it, and there is never a way to understand if there is a solution suitable for everyone.
Doodle allows instead of launch a very simple survey for free. The latter can be sent to the other participants through all the most popular messaging applications. It is also possible to participate through the website, without necessarily downloading the application. You can also chat to clarify some details about the event, consult the calendar and much more. Thanks to Doodle you will therefore be able to meet that friend who has been postponing your appointment since 1947, and if he were to postpone again we will recommend an app to meet new friends!
