Making Moving a Breeze With These Moving Apps

Moving isn’t very fun but you can make it easier. We have helped tons of people move from home to home, even across the country. Our 3 favourite smartphone apps to help our customers move are coming right up.

The Best Moving Apps

1. Moving Checklist Pro (iOS) Moving Planner (Android)

Making a good list is essential to any move. You need to know which items are going where and what boxes they are in. Using these two apps will take list making into the 21st century. Make sure that you download either one of these great apps and familiarize yourself with them before moving day.

2. MoveMatch (Android)

This super handy app helps you estimate the weight of all your boxes, then it creates a list that you can forward onto professional movers. Doing this allows for an accurate quote for the cost of moving. The best part? This app is totally FREE. Grab it now.

3. Moving Day (iOS)

This is by far our favourite moving app of the 3. “Moving Day” has built-in bar code scanning and label-making capabilities. Basically, you create the bar-codes on your iPhone, print them out, and then tape them to your boxes. When you’re unpacking, you should be able to “scan” your boxes and immediately see the contents without physically opening the box. If the scanner on your iPhone isn’t working, “Moving Day” will allow you to manually enter the barcode information. This app is perfect for those who love to label every box while keeping track of what is inside of each.

So before you get to moving day, download each of these apps and give them a try. You won’t lose any information like you would with a pen and paper. It also helps if your handwriting is more like chicken scratch.

If you need extra storage during moving day you can always count on us!

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
