Hopper
If you are a traveler who likes saving money on his travels, Hopper is one of the must have apps for your iOS device.
It not only lets you determine what it will cost to fly from one place to another on a fixed date, but it also allows you to buy your ticket instantly to avoid any further price increases. Not only this, but if you are flexible with your travel plans, Hopper will even help you find a better price by telling you the cheapest dates to fly on. And if you don’t need your tickets right away and are open to buying them at a later time, Hopper can even monitor prices, search for discounts, make price predictions, and then notify you whenever it finds a better price.
All in all, you won’t ever have to pay for full price flight tickets again if you have this app on your iOS device.
Songkick
Are you a big music person? Do you like going to concerts? If so, you need the Songkick app on your phone.
Going to a good concert can sometimes change your life; the music will just flow through you, and Songkick wants to help you experience the joy that comes from hearing that music. Not only do they help you track what artists, bands, DJ’s, and groups are coming to your area, but they also help you find tickets at the right price.
The service works all over the world and can find just about any artist(s) out there. If you are a true music lover and don’t want to enter the names of all your artists manually into the app, you can import them automatically from services such as Last.FM, Spotify or from your Facebook likes. The developers aim to take the app further than just a ticket tracking app by making it a social media network for concerts and allowing users to share pictures and chat with each other after the concert, making the overall experience even better.
Duolingo
Have you ever wanted to learn a language but have been scared by the hefty price tag that comes with many language learning courses? Well, that is where Duolingo steps in.
The app developers believe in the ability to spread knowledge for free and that is exactly what the app does. It comes with a very easy to use interface and helps you learn up to 13 different languages for free. With Duolingo, there are no charges or hidden fees, just learning.
You can choose between any of the following languages when you use the app:
- Danish
- Dutch
- Esperanto
- French
- German
- Irish
- Italian
- Norwegian
- Portuguese
- Spanish
- Swedish
- Turkish
- Ukrainian
Duolingo isn’t anything like learning a language from a book or CD; it is a whole new learning experience that is similar to Rosetta Stone, but still manages to revolutionize the language learning world. In fact, most online and book learning methods don’t provide such a complete learning experience.
The app contains 3 types of lessons – reading, speaking, and listening – that will not only teach you the basic grammar, but will also teach you some of the advanced rules and vocabulary in the language. Also, each individual lesson is graded and you can go back and repeat it as often as you want.
Think Dirty
Contrary to the impression one gets from its name, Think Dirty is actually all about you living a cleaner life. When you are out shopping for any kind of health and beauty product, just scan the barcode using the app and your phone’s camera, and Think Dirty will tell you what is really in those creams and powders. This means that you will no longer have to worry about any toxins or bad ingredients in those products.
Not only this, but the app also provides a shop where you can purchase all kinds of health and beauty supplies that can be delivered right to your doorstep. And to top it all, their app store only sells those products which are absolutely clean and free of any harmful chemicals and toxins. All in all, this is one of the best iOS apps on the market for people who are careful about the ingredients in their products, since using it can really save you time that you would otherwise spend on all the research, and can really help you make a difference in your life.
RelayRides
Most of us enjoy travelling whenever we can, and we sometimes want to drive in the best car out there when we are out and about. RelayRides can help you do just that!
With the ability to rent a car almost anywhere and at a much cheaper rate than most of the large corporate car rental companies, this is one of the best free apps out there. To find a ride, just enter the city you need a car in, and select your pickup and return date. You can even specify the car company, model and the type of car you want. RelayRides will then list all the cars that are available in that region, and will even tell you if they have features like Bluetooth, navigation, etc. If you, then, decide to rent that car, the chances are that the owner of the car will even come to pick you up at the airport and get you situated in it.
If you are a car owner on the other hand, who owns more than 1 car, or if you are not planning on using your car for some time, you can rent it out at any time on RelayRides. To rent a car, just follow the instructions in the app, and add a couple of pictures to your car listing. Your car will then be listed on the app/website, and people will be able to search for it. Listing a car on the app/website is absolutely free, and you will only have to pay RelayRides a fixed commission when someone decides to rent your car. And if you are skeptical or worried about your car being damaged/mishandled, RelayRides will even throw in an awesome insurance plan that will cover you automatically when you rent out your car.
