Best iPhone Apps to Download When Moving to the U.S.

When moving to the U.S., make use of your iPhone and all the apps available to help make your move less stressful. Here’s our list of the most helpful apps out there today.

Home Interior Layout Designer-Mark on Call. This app will be your best friend once you are trying to fit your furniture into a new space, and when you are designing the colors and fabrics of your new home. You can make detailed visual plans, take pictures of fabrics and use them on the surfaces of the furniture and in your designed room. You can even measure between two points with the ‘cross-hairs’ measuring tool.

Moving List. New Gravity Ventures. This app comes pre-loaded with to-do items everyone needs when moving. You can add your own items, and check them off as you complete them. You can organize your tasks by category or due date.

Moving Van. Glimmer Designs Limited. This app helps you identify the contents of every box you pack, with details of the contents including photos. Number or name your boxes, and when it is time to find things again, you will know exactly where they are. When cross border moving, you will need a detailed list of y our things anyway, so this app really comes in handy.

Yelp. If you haven’t tried Yelp yet, get on board. You can find the best places to eat, drink, shop, relax, and play in your new town using reviews from other yelpers.

Craigslist Pro. This app is more nimble than the traditional cragislist.org, allowing you to post and search with ease. Find that new couch or kitchen table you need, or sell off what you don’t need.
