My favourite apps

Uber

I consider it as luxury commuting made easy in minutes on request, charged to your credit card on file. A game changer for anyone who needs a car to get them between destinations. Note they're a Google Ventures portfolio company, integrated on google maps app offering estimated time for trips using Uber. The best bit about Uber? There’s no 11% card surcharge like Cabcharge, live vehicle tracking and customer rating too. Rarely a car more than 15 minutes away and most of the time, it’s less than 10 minutes. Most importantly offers fare estimates, but if you value reliability over price, Uber is for you.

 Fancy

A fabulous social commerce solution which is what most distinguishes it from Pinterest, and is its best feature. With its ease of use, neat shuffle feature, users are sharing all of their latest trends and deals with their social friends. Features include; gift cards, wish lists, notifications, tracking and much more. Fancy is quoted as describing itself as, “a blog, magazine, wish list and store catalogue rolled into one”. A shopping enthusiast dream combo.
