10 iPhone Apps for Moving to a New City
If you’re moving to a new city as a home buyer or a renter, these are the 10 iPhone apps that will take the frustration out and put the fun into relocation.
1. WebMD
WebMD makes it easy to find a physician, dentist, eye doctor, or ER or in your new neighborhood. It also puts first aid information right at your fingertips.
2. Yelp
Yelp iPhone app
The “Nearby” feature on the Yelp app shows you the restaurants, banks, dry cleaners, bookstores and other businesses that are closest to your new home. Best of all, you won’t waste time looking for the best tapas joint in your neighborhood because the app displays ratings and reviews directly from Yelp.com.
3. MenuPages
Want to see the current menu for a restaurant you found on the Yelp app? MenuPages is your app.
4. Everyblock
Everyblock filters local news for your new neighborhood into categories like city press releases, residential real estate and commercial real estate listings, restaurant inspections, and school reviews. Kind of makes doing city research a little less painful.
5. Seamless Web
Hungry for take-out? This app transfers the features of SeamlessWeb.com to a convenient iPhone app. Browse take-out menus for nearby restaurants and order your food while on-the-go.
Primospot iPhone app
6. Primospot
Take the headache out of city parking. With this iPhone app you can instantly find open parking meters, parking spots, and compare rates on parking garages. There’s even a feature that shows you the nearest places to lock up your bike.
7. Free Wifi
Need wifi while out wandering your new city? This app shows you the nearest hot spots.
8. Craigslist Pro
Craigslist Pro (CraigsPro)
Looking good, Craiglist Pro, looking good. (Sorry, Craiglist.com, but this iPhone app is way better looking than you.) Browse Craigslist, post ads, and save favorites. A major help when it comes to last-minute purchases like patio furniture or an end-table for the guest bedroom.
9. Move Planner
It’s inevitable — eventually you’ll have to pack those boxes. Organization is a bit less daunting with Move Planner’s moving checklist (example: transfer or resign club memberships, transfer your bank accounts, change your address, register to vote, etc.)
10. Best of Boston
Okay, so this is strictly built for Boston newbies, but it just had to be listed. The app lets you instantly find out 2010′s Best of Boston -awarded restaurants, stores, services, galleries, and more.
