Recession Beating Apps – Save Some Money!!

The recession is still pounding at our doors – the chances are you probably know someone who has lost his or her job due to the economic downturn, it may even be you…you can’t get a loan for love ‘nor money and everyone’s down in the dumps!

But once again the iPhone is rushing to the rescue – it’s time to put away iBeer, it’s just wasting your time when you could be out there saving those all-important pennies.  These apps will help you to keep some money in your wallet while still enjoying the finer things in life.

Truphone

Who can afford to make phone calls anymore?  It’s a thing of the past – you’ll start cutting back on unimportant calls that tend to waste the odd 10 pounds here an there, the following behind will be what you deem as unnecessary calls like calls to the doctor or to the wife…and then there will be nothing but silence…

Don’t let it happen – grab hold of a VoIP client for your iPhone and you won’t be worrying about the cost of calls any longer – VoIP clients allow you to make calls across the globe for a tiny cost over your Wi-Fi connection.  VoIP calls to other VoIP connections are free as well so you’ll effectively be paying nothing – that’s saving power!

WootWatch

If you have to do your shopping despite worrying about getting the money together for your mortgage then this is the app you need to have in your pocket.  WootWatch will scour the Internet looking for the best price for the product you’re looking for…you’ll be surprised at how much money you’ll save and you can brag about it to your mates afterwards over VoIP for free!

BigOven

You might find that you have been scrapping Booths and replacing it with Aldi, but what’s the point of saving money at the shops if you don’t know what you’re doing in the kitchen.

BigOven will supply you with over 160,000 recipes for the grand price of nothing pounds and nothing pence which is pretty good!  Search around the app by dishes, keywords, ingredients and so on…easy and useful!

Wi-Fi Finder

Forget paying for wi-fi – you don’t have to do it anymore.  With this helpful little iPhone buddy you can search for free wi-fi connections in more than 200,000 locations spanning 135 countries.  Never be without a connection again and never be fooled into paying for one either.

Granted, you might find that you have to walk for about 50 minutes to the free wi-fi but it’ll be worth it when you get there and they’ll probably be serving coffee when you arrive so it’s win win if you think about it!
