Great Moving Apps

Moving Planner

Moving Planner is a great app that syncs across all your android devices. “Configurable moving checklist or planner with everything needed to plan your house moving. Save all the time typing the home moving list as it comes pre-populated with more than 210 items. Add box contents as you pack them for the final move. Easy and very intuitive thumb friendly check/uncheck options.” You can grab Moving Planner here.
Moving Van

Moving Van is another great app only available on IOS. It helps you track every box you pack and remove from your home to put in the moving van. “As each box is packed, use this app to detail the contents, take photos of the items in the box, and assign each box with a unique name or number. If moving house, the room that the contents belong in can also be assigned. This will speed unloading and unpacking.” Grab Moving Van here.
Apartments by Apartment Guide

This great app allows you to find apartments quickly and easily in almost every major city. “Browse thousands of apartments and rentals all in one place with the easy-to-use Apartment Guide app. View HD photos and floor plans, and set up visits to the properties you want to see in just a few taps.” Make your apartment search quick and easy with this great app available on both android and IOS.
Bubble Level

This app is extremely simple but very handy. It’s a level for your phone! IOS already has a built-in level in its operating system so no need for an app. Android users get Bubble Level here.

That’s it! We hope these apps can help you on moving day. North Shore Mini Storage has the best rates on storage units in Vancouver.

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.
