Moving to the UK: Useful Mobile Apps
Wednesday, 5 Feb 2020
Have you recently moved to a city in the UK? Mobile apps can save you hassle when it comes to moving abroad. They are useful for using on the go, accessing them instantly from your phone! Send My Bag have put together this blog on the top mobile apps that can help with your move to the UK.
Zoopla
Zoopla started in 2008 and is now the UK’s leading property listing site. The Zoopla mobile app makes it even easier for people to search for homes to rent and buy in the UK. You may find yourself becoming hooked on scrolling through their properties!
Spare Room
You are likely to pay less if you rent a room in a house or flat shared with other people. That’s where this mobile app comes in, as you can browse for rooms to rent in most UK cities. You can find like-minded people on the app who are also looking for someone to share a place with, and get in touch with them about living together.
Moovit
Over 400 million international users are on this public transport mobile app. Trains and buses are widely used in the UK and so a mobile app like this will come in handy! You can access real-time data for the public transport in your local area, including live train and bus schedules and any delays. The app can also let you know what bus or train route to take based on times, and where the closest pick up point is to you.
Monzo
Monzo is a mobile-only bank with extra features – you can get set spending budgets, divide money into categories (or Monzo ‘pots’), make domestic and international payments, get payment alerts and many more. The shiny coral Monzo bank card is also very cool!
Meet Up
Meet Up is a mobile app that is made for bringing people together in thousands of cities. The app will show you suggested social groups in your area based on the interests and hobbies that you choose. You can join as many groups as you want and attend the events that they hold. It is a great way to meet new people and, if you are looking for a job, there are usually business events you can attend that are good for networking.
Deliveroo
A food delivery mobile app is most definitely useful! Deliveroo partners with some of the largest food chains and independent restaurants across the UK, meaning that you will not be short of tasty cuisines to choose from.
Send My Bag App
Do you need to send your things to your new home in the UK? When you send your luggage ahead using our door-to-door luggage shipping service, you can download our mobile app and use the tracking tool to check where your bags.

Finding a Job in the UK
Finding a job in the UK may be too daunting for some, especially in the middle of the Brexit crisis. The Office of National Statistics 2019 Migration Quarterly Report has shown that immigration to the UK for work has fallen to its lowest level since 2014. Though not confirmed to be a result of Brexit, EU net migration has fallen to a level last seen in 2009. Still, there seems to be no sign of a final Brexit decision on the horizon, so, at the minute it’s hard to predict how exactly the UK job market will be affected. However, at present, it seems to be business as usual in the recruitment sector, and migration to the UK continues to add to the population. Brexit or No-Brexit, Send My Bag are here to guide you when it comes to finding a job in the UK, as there seems to be no apparent fall in job prospects. If anything, the UK needs more people and their skills to get through the economic turmoil of Brexit.
