In times of crisis there are no better news than finding new ways to save money. Moreover, Christmas is coming and we have to think about all the gifts that we have to buy. If you are a smartphone user and you like to have the best without paying too much, here’s a list of 5 apps to save money (or at least not spend so much):

UppTalk (previously known as yuilop): Now with UppTalk, global communication is limitless. It allows you to call & text to any mobile and landlines in the world and completely free. If something completely free is not a solution to save money then we don’t know what is.

yuilop: We are not getting tired of saying that yuilop makes talking free again. It allows you to call & text to any mobile and landlines worldwide and completely free. If something completely free is not a solution to save money then we don’t know what is.

Onavo: The best way to save money and use your smartphone wisely is knowing how to use your data plan thoroughly. Onavo lets you know which applications use more data and how you can improve the performance of your connection. Available for iOS and Android.

The coupons app: Have you ever seen a coupon? Those that come in the Sunday paper with super discounts in shops and restaurants. Now you can have it all in your smartphone. With this app the best discounts and deals will be in the tip of your fingers. Available for iOS and Android.

Decide: If you do not know which camera to buy or if the TV you chose has the best price, Decide helps you make a decision. Not only by comparing prices but gives you data, predictions of market prices and statistics for you to make the right decision. Available for iOS.

Shopkick: With this app you gain while buying. Every time you use your card and register your purchase on the app, you earn “kicks”, a system very similar to the yuilop’s credits. You can redeem those “kicks” for all sorts of products. Available for iOS and Android.
