Penny’s favourite apps:
The Iconic
Who doesn’t love this app? The Iconic is a great place to find all your favourite fashion brands in the one spot. With quick and reliable delivery and regular sales, it’s an app that’s hard not visit on a regular basis!
Woolworths
The Woolworths app is probably one of my most used as it’s so convenient and saves time. On those busy days when you just can’t make it to the store, it’s a great way to quickly stock up on all the essentials…like a bottle of Edenvale.
Zoom & Microsoft Teams
Zoom: App Store, Google Play
Teams: App Store, Google Play
I know many people might be over this one after lockdown, but I still see the value of Zoom. I can do all my meetings from the one spot and not have to waste time travelling or stuck in traffic and you still get see the other person smiling on the other side of the screen.
Uber Eats / Menu Log
Uber Eats: App Store, Google Play
Menulog: App Store, Google Play
As you may have read, I am a very passionate foodie and love trying new things. On Uber Eats and Menu Log, I can get a quick snapshot of what’s around, new menu items at my favourite dinner spots or any new venues that have opened that I might have missed. Plus, the convenience and ease of having it brought to me is a plus! It’s also great for groceries in an emergency.
My Fitness Pal
My Fitness Pal is great! Super handy if you want to keep a food diary, save meals and recipes or set yourself some health and fitness goals. It can even help with things like activity tracking, so the number of steps you do in a day or if you want to record a workout.
Spotify
Spotify, which I am sure everyone is familiar with, is also great. I love being able to listen to all my favourite artists, Spotify playlists and all of my go-to podcasts when I am out for a walk. Nothing puts you in a better mood than a walk in the fresh air with your favourite tunes.
