Dark Sky ($3.99)

Not only is this a free application, but it will also connect with your bank accounts for no additional charge.



Wikitude (Free)

Augmented reality has been a buzz term over the last few years, and Wikitude attempts to tap into this trendy technology. Wikitude attempts to enhance your social life by enabling you to pull up information on bars, restaurants and landmarks in your immediate surroundings. This is achieved by geolocation based on information fed to the app by your camera. Games are also included in the package, just in case you get bored of seeking somewhere to eat.



Doorsteps Swipe (Free)

This application has been dubbed the Tinder for real estate, and is extremely valuable for anyone seeking a new place to live. Houses, apartments and rooms are presented within the app as a deck of cards, with simple left or right swiping carried out in order to save more pass on the opportunities offered.

Doorsteps Swipe also catalogs your behaviour using the application, in order to inform you of the sort of houses that you have a tendency to select. Various search parameters are also available, and overall the application does an excellent job of informing users regarding the real estate market.
