App stores are crowded places these days, and because storage space on your phone is often at a premium, you’ll want to find and fill it with not only the best, but also the most helpful apps out there. Because they come and go quicker than the latest fashion trends, and digging through Google Play, the iTunes App Store, or any of the others is such a mission; a little nudge in the right direction is often very welcome. Here are the apps we think you need to check out this week.
Pretty much everyone has a horror story when it comes to their roommate. Whether it’s a random pairing from your college dorm days or a responder from a Craigslist ad who totally misrepresented themselves, there are tons of ways to end up with a bad living situation. You want your home to be a happy one, so why make sure the person who’s going to be living with you is a person you can actually tolerate being around?
Yoroomie is a new app that helps simplify the roommate scouting prospect. It scouts prospective cohabitors and shows you who has a room available or who is looking for one. From there, you can explore their profile to learn more. If it seems like you could live with the person, start up a chat to get to know one another, and see if you can work out a living arrangement. It’s like a dating app for finding a roomate, except instead of getting a relationship, you just pay less rent.
