From mobile recharging to paying your taxes, there is an app for everything now. The author has culled eight of these apps that will save you time and money

A world without smartphone apps is a world that no one wants to be a part of anymore. There is something about the amazing convenience offered by every other app that makes it nearly impossible to quit.

And why should you? Not only do these apps help make everyday life a breeze, they look good while doing so. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, the entire world is available at the tap of a screen.

Need to order a pizza? There’s an app for that. Can’t remember where you’ve seen that actor before from the film you’re currently watching? Just pull it up in your browser. Stuck standing in line? Fire up a game to pass the time.

Did you know that in addition to all these things, your phone can save you time and money? There are hundreds of apps available to streamline jobs and get you the best deals. But, the plague of excesses has struck the app-o-sphere too and picking the best apps is no longer a cakewalk.

Here’s a list of eight fantastic apps you should definitely try:

1. UrbanClap

What if you could have all your lifestyle services requirements met without moving from your couch? Sounds too good to be true? UrbanClap allows you to do just that!

Choose from around 50 lifestyle services that include connecting you to a photographer, electrician, guitar teacher, tax consultants, and anything else you’d need a professional for. Those long hours browsing the yellow pages for professional services are a thing of the past, courtesy UrbanClap: your neighbourhood lifestyle app.

All you need is a stable Internet connection and a smartphone with a front camera, and you’re all set to chat with the people you love.

You can make fast money transfers, request money, get some amazing deals, and make payments on the go with the Paytm app. The icing on the cake, however, is the option to scan and pay using a QR code.
