An app (full form: application) is a program or a set of programs that do specific things. Apps on personal computers are called desktop apps and those used in smartphones are called mobile apps. With almost everyone sporting a smartphone, there are some apps that are a must have, since they make life so much easier, convenient, or just more fun.

Social media apps are now taken for granted. You cannot do without Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and WhatsApp. Now becoming popular is the Telegram app too! Viber and Skype are also popular options today. And of course, Facebook Messenger. These apps help you keep in touch with your friends, follow people, products or companies you like. LinkedIn is another app that is great for professionals that are looking to network or are looking for opportunities.

However, there are apps besides these popular ones that are a must have when you live in Australia. Here are some of the top ones:

  • Local Transport Apps
    The Tripview, Public Transport Victoria and the Next There apps are ones that you must have. These apps display real time information about the public transport schedules in cities in Australia. You can use this app to create trip plans using the metro, bus, train, ferry, coach and light rail services, making travel within cities that much easier.
  • Banking Apps
    Online banking goes mobile. Now you have mobile apps for most of the major Australian banks – Commonwealth Bank, Westpac and NAB.
  • The Happiest Hour
    This wonderful app will find you the best food in drinks specials (read: Happy Hours!) in both Australia as well as New Zealand! You can search for those specials via location, time and even the kind of special is available. In fact, the developers have added a new feature to the app so that you can get notified when your favorite venue changes or adds new specials.
  • Uber Eats
    This is a recently launched app for food delivery options. The app is really user friendly, and you have multiple ways to choose what you want to order and have delivered. The best part is that you have no minimum spend condition; you simply pay a flat $5 fee for the service.
  • Zomato
    Don’t know where to dine? Try the Zomato app, a platform that rates restaurants based on user reviews. Photos and details comments are also included so you know exactly what you’ll be getting in terms of service, quality of food, quantity of food and so on. This app also includes menus and other information about those restaurants. The app also offers a booking service where you can directly book a table at a restaurant of your choice!
  • Food Truck Apps
    Food trucks have become a common sight in Australian cities. These mobile street food eateries are popular because you get delicious food quickly – it gives you a whole new perspective on the term fast food. Apps are now available that will help you locate your favorite food truck. The popular ones in Australia are Sydney Food Trucks, Snack Tracker and Where the Truck.
