5 must-have apps for people moving to the UK

 

We currently live in an increasingly digital world where most of our interactions occur through mobile phones. You are probably reading this article from a mobile device screen. Apps are an important mobile part of our world. They have become very important to communicating, moving, and buying things. There are more than 3 million worldwide applications, but their use often depends on the region.

If you're a digitally savvy person visiting or relocating to the UK, you'll want to know which apps will be most useful in your new location. We've put together the most important applications you need.

Best Navigation app — Google Maps

Online maps are one of the least valuable inventions of the last few years.

Google Maps is one of the safest ways to get around the UK. It provides location travel data, so you know how long it will take based on your shipping choices. In addition to providing location data, it can also be used as a search tool to find interesting places to visit.

If you use an iPhone, you can choose Apple Maps, the default app for your device of choice. Alternatively, you can decide to go with Waze, a user-led navigation app. In London, Birmingham, or Manchester, you can try CityMapper for a more personalized experience. The App is arguably the best for navigating cities, offers more transportation options than Google Maps, and considers real-time disruptions to provide recommendations.

Best App for car transport — Uber 

Like many other European countries, the UK offers three main domestic transport options: car, bus or train. If you want to travel short distances and time is of the essence, then the Uber app is the best option for you.

With over 70,000 drivers and five million+ riders, Uber is the most popular ride-hailing service in the UK. Bolt ride is a cheaper but less popular option, especially with drivers. But if you're looking for something with a little pizzazz, Wheely lets you book luxury rides so you can choose your music, car temperature, and route.

On the other hand, if you are in London, you can opt for one of the city's famous black cabs for a truly British experience.

Best Rail Transport app — Trainline

You can't stay too long in the UK before discovering the importance of its famous rail network for everyday life. Many people choose to use the train because it's cheaper for long distances. Also, it's a fast way to get around.

However, the UK has over 24000 trains and 2500+ train stations. It can be difficult to keep track of train schedules and ticket prices if you're a beginner.

Trainline is a mobile application for getting around for many people in the country. This application allows users to get real-time travel and ticket information. Additionally, users can get ticket price predictions based on historical data. You can purchase tickets when they are likely to be the cheapest. Some other alternatives include Live TrainTimes UK and Interrail.

Best App for banking — Revolut

Banking is one of the most geographically-regulated sectors. Whether you are visiting or here for the long haul, you will eventually need to be able to complete transactions within the UK. To this end, you'll need to create a bank account.

While there are several options, we recommend digital-first banking options like Revolut and Monzo as great choices. This is especially important if you are not yet a resident, as there is less need to open an account.

Smartest App for sending money back home — moneyTRIP

If you are an African immigrant, you are very likely to frequently send money back to your country.

You need to have the moneyTRIP App, as it gives you instant access to the best money transfer providers in your country. In addition, moneyTRIP makes real-time comparisons between providers to help you achieve the best deals for your business. moneyTRIP is Launching soon—signup for a waitlist.

Other options include remittance providers such as Wise (formerly Transferwise), Azimo, and Remitly. If you are looking for something a little more African, Lemonade Finance also offers great rates on transactions to Nigeria and Ghana.

What is a RAM in computer?

Ram means Random Access Memory. It is a short-term memory, much like the brain of a human, which stores information. RAM is known as volatile memory because if the computer loses power, all the RAM data will be lost. Non-volatile memory is a memory that keeps its data while the system isn't running. The RAM is accessible through the computer's brain called the CPU, which stands for the Central Processing Unit. 

 

The RAM is the memory being used when the computer system is ON. When the computer is turned off, the RAM is no longer accessible. Today's computer comes with at least 512MB RAM size. Additional RAM can be placed within the system, but there is usually a limitation placed upon just how much RAM can be added to a computer system.  

Some of the commonly used RAM today is

• Static RAM (SRAM)
• Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
• Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) and so on.

 

USB Flash Drive

USB flash drive or any other flash memory drive is an EEPROM that means electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. USB flash memory sticks are:

• Nothing but an EEPROM assembly.
• A controller with a RISC microprocessor RAM.
• ROM. 

All of this interacts with a computer using a USB controller and connector because USB sticks are EEPROM that can hold data for as long as ten years. UBS thumb usually drives don't require drivers, but with few old operating systems like windows 98 and windows 95, you need drivers provided by the manufacturer. 

Latest OS considers USB drives as USB mass storage devices and has built-in support for these drives, which means you don't need any drivers; plug in the drive and start using it. Some Linux versions might recognize it but won't let you use it until you manually mount the drive. 

Why You Really Need HEADPHONES

Listening to my music through a set of quality hi-fi home theatre speakers is the ultimate for me, at least until I found the other option. I like hearing the mid-range vocals coming out clear and crisp. As a bass guitarist, the bass is something I want to feel as well. 

The problem comes when everyone else wants to sleep, and I still want to listen to my favorite music. In my quest to feed the audiophile inside me, I finally determined headphones were the answer. 

I discovered “these cans” had come a long way since the last time I was looking. I had choices and a lot of them. I could get them with an open-end or closed-end. In my case, I determined a closed-end would be best so what I was listening to could not go out and disturb anyone around me. It seems with an open back; the sound is still dispersed somewhat into the surrounding area.

I found out about passive and active noise canceling. I had to choose whether I wanted the background noise canceled by just the earpieces themselves (passive) or were those tiny electronics inside going to stop the ambient noise (active). Outside sounds like people talking and appliances running would also not affect my streaming audio. I liked this idea. I found makes and types that allowed me to switch between active and passive mode. I ran into a technology I had never heard before about stereo headsets in my quest for the best headphones. Bluetooth. What is Bluetooth? Wireless? No cords? You have got to be kidding. 

This wireless stuff was sounding very interesting. I could move with my music and not land on my keester because I tripped on the cord. All I had to do was buy a wireless set for my stereo, and I was good to go. I could move up to 300 feet away and still enjoy my tunes. I could be all over the house and listen to the radio or my favorite CD. I liked this option. 

Because of what I was able to find out, I could make my choice of the headphones I wanted. I am pleased with what I bought. There is a set out there for you, too. Just do some research and some reviews like I did, and you can discover a complete listening experience like no other.
