Moving In? 7 Home Setup Apps

Sun Seeker: 3D Augmented Reality Viewer
Sun Seeker is an amazing tool for photographers, botanists, and home owners, providing information about where exactly the sun will be shining from with the aid of augmented reality. Using GPS location, users can see the sun’s trajectory throughout the day and plan accordingly. $7 – Also available for Android

BuildApp Pro

Creating a room layout for optimal position of furniture before the heavy lifting is always a good idea, both for sanity and your muscles’ sake. BuildApp Pro makes it easier for couples to communicate an ideal layout by creating a virtual 3D model of the apartment space and placing replica furniture. $6 – Equivalent for iO

Inventory
Another opportunity offered during the process of moving into a new home is unpacking each individual item. This is the chance to finally log and gain a better understanding of how much and learning exactly what we own. Inventory acts as a handheld scanner and photo database (with built-in camera feature), offering a user particular fields to fill in details such as room, location, and volume for itemizing, an especially helpful tool for home insurance preparation. $1
