It’s easy to argue with your flatmates. So why not all sign up to an independent arbiter to settle your petty domestic squabbles? And what better referee than the cold, lifeless, uncompromising mind of a computerised mobile phone application.
The Problem: You’re Always Poor
Everyone owes you money but you’re not sure how much… and it’s getting too late to ask for it back.
The Solution: IOU (for I Owe You)
Never lose track of how many hundreds of pounds your tightwad, cheapskate flatmates owe you again! Fastidiously rack up their debts on this fun, pretty expenses app.
The Problem: You Never Have Milk
The Solution: Wunderlist
It’s Sunday morning (or maybe afternoon). You’ve woken up hungover and already poured the tea when you realise… there’s no milk left. Make sure this never happens again. Share shopping lists with flatmates and get notifications when items are bought with this wunderful app.
The Problem: You’re in Charge of All the Bills
The Solution: Divyit
At the end of the month, grease the track between their wallet and yours by setting up Divyit. If you’re the one who always pays the rent and bills, you can keep track of these monthly, recurring expenses easily on the app, and remind flatmates to pay you without threatening to break their legs!
The Problem: You Don’t Know How Much You Spent on the Flat Holiday
The Solution: TravelMate
Pooling money to get a better conversion rate for your flat holiday is a good idea, but keeping track of money on holiday is a buzzkill. This app lets you enjoy your holiday without worrying that you’re paying more than your fair share.
The Problem: You Never Know Who’s in
The Solution: GroupMe
Keep track of itinerant flatmates with GroupMe. It synchs your calendars so that when you pull in the club/want to lounge around naked/play World of Warcraft for hours, you can be certain you’ll have the flat to yourself.
