You can find apps that you can't even imagine they would exist. From the New York subway to an app who helps you calculate the tipping... You can find it all.
My favorites:
- NYC Sample Sales
This app shows you all the sample sales who are going on now or the ones who will be hold in the near future. I just love this app. I already went to a few sample sales due to this app and I did some great bargains.
- NYC Tip
An easy app who works as an calculator who helps you to determine the tip that you want or have to give. You just enter the total amount and then you can choose which tip % you want to calculate. You can also divide the total amount by the number of people.
