In order to save money, look no further than your very own mobile device.
A recent survey carried out by LG Electronics has revealed that as a nation of bargain hunters, Brits are increasingly turning to mobile phones, downloading applications that will save us money. Ironically, it appears that we are happy to benefit from the money saving applications, even if we have to pay for them in the first instance.
£422 million is spent on mobile phone software and applications each year and the survey showed that applications featuring discounts and voucher codes were by far the most popular. One in four people have rated these types of applications, their top ‘must download’. It is thought that this is a direct reflection of the economic situation that currently faces the UK.
Practical applications are rated highly, with the top five most wanted app types being: Apps that save you money (25%), Apps that save you time (9%) Apps that help you to stay fit (9%), Apps that help with food shopping (8%) and Apps for gaming (6%).
