Most Useful Apps

When you move to a new country, the right apps can make your life so much easier — but only if you know the ones people here actually use. Not the typical ChatGPT-style advice telling you to download Google Maps or Google Translator, but the real local tools that help you meet people, save money, navigate the city, and feel settled faster.

We’ll show you:

• The best platforms to meet people and build your social circle

• Apps that genuinely help you save money on groceries, transport, and everyday spending

• Local tools for housing, job search, deliveries, payments, and community groups

• The apps Aussies rely on daily that most newcomers discover way too late

You’ll get a curated list based on real experience living in Australia — practical, simple, and genuinely helpful from day one.
