ShopSavvy

Free app for iPhone

ShopSavvy you might of heard from that guy in the office who finds every little iPhone app a must download, but this one is very clever and potentially money saving.

The idea is that you scan the barcode of any product, which you would like to purchase; lets say for example you’re at a Department Store and you wonder if you could possibly find it cheaper at another store or online. So with ShopSavvy, you scan the barcode, and it will search online to see which places it is available for purchase, and the price you’d pay.

This will be perfect for Christmas coming up to make sure you can stretch every dollar to either give or save more, especially seeing as the app is free, you have nothing to lose except saving some money if you don’t!

Review of Best iPhone Apps – HeyTell. Free from iTunes

In this day and age, everything is made to simplify your life, and this app is for those that are text-a-holics and are getting lazy of finger smashing.

HeyTell is a Voice messenger that works over the GSM network. What does that mean to you?  Rather than having to call for a simple question or write a long text message, you are able to record a voice message, press send, and the person at the other end will receive your message translated to text.

The great thing about HeyTell is that it can have light to heavy protection settings, so you don’t have any un-wanted people sending you anything. HeyTell is a fantastic app for all those social butterfly’s, because it is cheaper in the long run to use data than sending a text and saves time from typing a text message.
