Download Your Way To An Almost Instagram-Perfect Life

Some people might think relying on apps to help coordinate your life is a little slack. However, we feel there’s only so many times you can trawl through certain weekly city guides or head out with the intention of doing something cultural, just end up in the pub. We’re still clinging on to the hope that, as it’s January, this year we’re going to diversify the way we dress, date, work out and even clean our home – even if that mantra only lasts until March. With this optimism in full swing, we’ve curated a list of ten apps that will help you with everything from having your living room cleaned to finding the nearest place to stock up on organic sausages. Oh and don’t worry, no makeover apps are included.

1. Bizzby

If you’ve had a rager of a party the night before, or you just can’t be bothered to tidy your flat yourself, look to Bizzby. Type in your location (London-only) and exactly what you need and this app promises to have a professional at your door within thirty minutes. They do more than just help with cleaners too. If you want a cake, handyman or even a beautician (for that spray tan, obviously), Bizzby can help:

2. Happn

There’s no point pretending you aren’t a little bit interested in this. It’s like Tinder but slightly more stalker-esque. You switch it on and a load of women (or men) you’ve crossed paths with will load. If you like them, you can send them a ‘charm’. Okay, so it sounds creepy but if you genuinely are looking to date, this is a good way to cut out the ‘I’m really into kayaking on bank holiday weekends’ style chats. There’s also the fact that Parisians created it, and we’d quite like to be as smooth and sophisticated as them:

3. Smith Hotels By Mr & Mrs Smith

It’s a wonderful thing to be able to decide to go on a country retreat or whirlwind city break at the drop of a hat – and if you’re blessed with the type of income that allows you to do so, get on board with Mr & Mrs Smith. The brand is already a hit with those looking for hotels across the world, with the promise that they’ve personally visited and anonymously reviewed every single one listed on their website. Utilise the app to plan your next weekend getaway, or simply book that converted barn B&B in Devon you promised you’d take your ‘very special friend’ to:
