Spotted! 7 Apps That Will Change Your Life
While the number one app on your phone is undoubtedly Houzz, here are seven others that just might change your life
An organised mind leads to an organised home, and now, with an app available for almost everything, it’s easier than ever to organise ourselves. From apps that organise your notes across multiple platforms to apps that sort your meal planning, handbag organisation, wellbeing and social life, hitting download could be the first step to the new you. Here are seven of our favourites.
2. Mealboard
While beautifully styled recipe books (like the ones seen in this classic London kitchen) make for a gorgeous display, storing your favourite recipes in digital form just makes sense. The MealBoard app takes things a step further, combining recipe management, meal planning, your supermarket shopping list and pantry management in a single app.

3. Vivino
While downloading an app won’t immediately net you a wine cellar as extensive (and glamorous) as this one, Vivino will at least help you record which bottles of wine you like and build a virtual collection to draw on when you’re lacking inspiration. With Vivino, you simply take a photo of any wine label to unlock its pricing, ratings, reviews and food pairing suggestions, and of course it all stays in your device for you to refer back to when you’re in need of a glass.

Evernote markets itself as ‘your second brain’, and in many ways it may be more efficient than your first one! The app captures, organises and syncs all your notes, ensuring they’re with you whenever you need them. Evernote works as a note-taker, digital personal assistant, pocket notebook and to-do list. I like the sound of that!
