The Best Five Moving Apps (for iPhone Users)
MyMove – This app helps to calculate the weight of the items you want to move and find a moving company that has a good reputation. You can see the reviews of other clients to help you decide if a particular moving company is the best choice.
Moving Van – This app creates an inventory of what each box contains. It is easy to use this app as you pack each box because you simply take photos of the contents as you pack them and you add any written details which helps you stay more organized. Every packed box has a unique number/name that you can assign to a location in the new house. The movers will know exactly where to put each box when it arrives in the new location.
MagicPlan – This app creates a virtual floor plan to show what will fit in the new location and helps you decide the layout of the furniture. It works by using photos of your furniture in the existing rooms and then automatically creates dimensions for placement in your new location. Use existing objects and add virtual objects to see how best to outfit your new home.
Move Planner - This app creates a comprehensive to-do list of things necessary to achieve when moving. This list includes many important things that are easy to forget, such as making sure to have insurance coverage for any items while they are in transit from one location to the other. It can also inform your bank to move your account to the nearest location next to the area you are moving to, preventing any financial headaches.
Moving Day – This app makes bar codes that you can print out, attach to boxes, and then scan. This makes it very easy to identify the boxes and know what each box contains. Even if the scanning is not working on an iPhone, it is possible to manually enter the bar code number on the Moving Day website to get information about what the box contains.
