5 apps no gentleman should be without

The discerning gentleman may not be head-over-heels in love with technology, but he certainly shouldn’t be averse to it. Nowadays, people are virtually fixated on their mobiles, and as the saying goes: ‘if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em’. Here are 5 apps no gentleman should be without.

DOJO

This slick app suggests some of the finest venues around depending on your location. It’s the way it is designed though that really makes it worth downloading; you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more intuitive app. Foursquare take note.

VIVINO

This is the ultimate mobile destination for wine lovers. Take a picture of a wine label through the app, and you’ll have access to pricing, ratings, reviews, food-pairing suggestions and more. If you like wine, you need this app.

GOOGLE TRANSLATE

If you’re a frequent traveller then you’ll have likely picked up on a number of languages over the years. If you’re a bit rusty, then you might want to download Google Translate. It’s a lifesaver.

UBER

If you haven’t already downloaded Uber then where have you been? It’s essentially a hassle-free taxi service that’s far cheaper than hailing black cabs.

QUIQUP

Quiqup is an innovative service that essentially acts as a courier for your daily needs. You can get food delivered from any restaurant in London straight to your door, or if you need something picking up – such as keys at a friend’s house – you can call on Quiqup too.
