N#5. MoveMatch app for Android
This is one very functional app. In essence this app will try to calculate the volume of your belongings. In order to do that, you will need to carefully insert every item from your home and add it in the survey. The only thing is that the app is made for the European market by default and it calculates the volume in cubic meters instead of cubic feet. Of course you have the option to switch to cubic feet. The end result is an approximate volume of your moving belongings, that will help you estimate the cost of your move more precisely. There are some handy cost saving tips, 8 to 1 week moving checklist and a couple of moving tips. We recommend it for all android users that are about to move.

I used the MoveMatch application when moving home recently – in Europe, so no problems with square metres (by the way, it’s so easy to switch to imperial measurement – and found it amazingly easy to use and so practical. It saved me so much time and money by not having to waste days waiting for movers to come to my home and assess what I was able to do myself for free with this great app. The tips were great too. I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to get the best deal when moving. I was able to save at least 3 days of my precious time and finished my move for 30% less than I had budgeted for.
