10 best local apps for Android for any local need - Android
The Internet made it super easy to communicate, keep track of, and interact with basically the entire world. It also keeps you connected to things happening in your town. Generally, the Internet (or apps) aren’t super necessary for these kinds of things but you can find some valuable information with the right apps. There are some instances where a browser works best. For instance, in Columbus, OH, the best way to see the trash schedule is in a web browser. However, there are still some great local apps to find some neat local stuff and help yourself out.

Facebook has its ups and downs. However, there are few apps with Facebook’s capabilities in terms of local events. The app lets you check out things happening in your area and any venue worth its salt has its latest events posted somewhere on Facebook. You can use the app to find nearby concerts or Magic: The Gathering games at local card shops. Plus, Groups lets you coordinate events with other people for things such as Pokemon Go. Yes, the app isn’t very good and the privacy on the platform is basically nonexistent. Still, Facebook is good for finding stuff happening near you. There are also some specialty event apps such as GameFor if you want something a little more specific.
Price: Free (usually)

Krazy Coupon Lady is an excellent app for money savings. It features a metric ton of coupons for things like groceries, clothes, and other items at local retailers like Kohl’s, Target, and Walmart. You simply find the coupons you want, save them, and use them at the register. It does work for online retailers like Amazon. However, you most likely have a CVS, Kroger, Publix, Dollar Tree, or Walgreen’s near you so this app is usable at places you frequent. Plus, if you find a good deal, it’ll motivate you visit places you might not visit very often.

Google Maps is kind of a no-brainer for this category. You can quickly and easily find businesses in your area that do various things. An example is a basement repair person if your basement leaks. Additionally, you can quickly find hours of operation for businesses in your area as well as directions if you don’t go to that side of town very often. A lot of people use the app to see upcoming traffic jams or other slow downs to plan alternate routes to work. Like I said, it’s a no-brainer.
