If anyone tries to tell you that they can make your move completely hassle and stress free, they’re lying. Even if you hire a mover to pack and unpack everything you own, there are still address changes, finding new doctors, and hairdressers, and, really, everything you need at your new home.
Fortunately, it’s the 21st century, and nearly everything you need for your move is available from your phone.
Here are just some of the apps that will help you with your move:
Sortly
Sortly is destined to revolutionize the moving process, and I’m not exaggerating. With Sortly, you can create an inventory of absolutely everything, both before and after your goods go into boxes. You can create lists, add notes, and make labels for your boxes. It even allows you to send an inventory list to your mover, ensuring a far more accurate estimate. The cost is anywhere from free, for up to 100 items and one user, to $5.00 a month for up to three devices and unlimited inventory items. After the move, Sortly will also help you stay organized. Get Sortly on Android or iOS.
MagicPlan
If you’ve ever tried room design apps before, and gave up because they were too complicated, you haven’t tried MagicPlan. It lets you take pictures of your room and design it from the pictures. Best of all, the app is free on iOS and on Android. There are in app purchases, though. Use MagicApp to help determine where to place your furniture before the move. It will help save time on moving day.
DoorDash
In most moves, one of the things that goes by the wayside is cooking, and who wants pizza three meals a day? With DoorDash, you can order from virtually any restaurant in your area, even some of the healthy ones. Get it for free on iOS or Android.
NextDoor
While apps like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter broaden your world, NextDoor is designed to make it smaller. NextDoor connects you with your neighbors, and that’s it. You can get advice about your new surroundings, and even get a lot of free stuff. Get it on Android or iOS for free.
Spotify
You can’t pack and move without music. Download Spotify, and get unlimited music for free. If you want the commercial free version., it’s about $10 a month Make playlists or let Spotify use its algorithms to play music you may have never heard. The best thing about it, is you can just set it and leave it, unless you want to change things up. Get it on iOS or Android.
