Phone apps that can save you money
The mobile phone is starting to overtake the dog as man's best
friend. Add in a few money-saving mobile applications (apps)
and it will be even harder to put down your phone.

Google Shopper

Powered by Google Product Search, the app brings smarter
shopping to the smartphone world. With free install, users
instantly have access to detailed product information, such as
price, consumer ratings, and reviews. All simply by scanning
barcodes with your phone.

Other search methods include text and voice searches, and app
recognition of numerous covers of products. Find local deals
for many US cities on products and services in the "Today's
Offer" section.

Bragging rights have been earned. AppBrain cites the app has
250,000 downloads and 30,090 ratings of 4.17 on average.

Skype App

Skype, which uses the internet to make voice calls, has
unleashed a related mobile app to save money on the go. The
app is available for iOS, Android, and Symbian.

Key features are free Skype-to-Skype calls and free video
calls on Skype for iPhone. Download is free, and savings are
evident on both local and international calls. Affordable
options are pay-as-you-go or by subscription.

Recognition for the software is mounting. The Skype Mobile App
was named best money-saving mobile app by Carphone Warehouse
Appy Awards in the UK in 2011.

Price Grabber

Compare product prices and save! Price Grabber is available
for the iPad, iPhone, and Android.

Users have the product reviews for thousands of online
merchants at their fingertips, literally. Product features
such as price are clearly displayed to prevent spending excess
money or purchasing incorrect products.

The app also lets you set the dollar amount you want to spend
on a product and alerts you when the limit is reached.

Shop Savvy

No small mention here, Shop Savvy is tagged as "the leading
mobile shopping assistant" by the Marketwire website. Version
5 was released in November of 2011 for the iPhone and Android.

Save time and money through in-app purchasing from large scale
retailers, such as www.Walmart.com and <www.Target.com>. Find
items as well by scanning barcodes using the app or through
keyword search.

The app has garnered over 20 million downloads and over 10
million current unique users according to Marketwire.

Mobile apps provide multiple ways to save money while on the
go. Additional apps feature local deals and coupons, and
provide consumers savings on restaurants and trips. Perfect
for a busy lifestyle!
