Write down these apps to take them on your mobile this New Year's Eve

It may seem like celebrating New Year's Eve is a simple thing All you need is a suit, twelve lucky grapes and a menu to fill your belly. But not. New Year's Eve will be the most important dinner of the year, so it is convenient to finalize all the preparations correctly. From the characteristics of the menu, to the decoration of the table... going through the music that will sound during the evening.

This if you finally decide to celebrate the new year at home. Because if what you propose is to go out of the house, it is most likely that you need, first to get a good suit, and second, to know where in your city the best parties will be held The most logical thing is that you also need to leave your children – if you have them – with a caregiver or that you need a taxi to cross the city.

And this is not all, because surely you have just realized that to have a great New Year's Eve you need a lot of things. Today we have set out to find all the apps that you need to install right away on your mobile.

Applications to move around the city

If you have to travel to celebrate New Year's Eve,you can do it with your car, of course. But if you are in a big city, you can opt for public transportation. Besides saving us all a few smokes, you won't need to drive. On New Year's Eve it is inevitable to toast with a couple of glasses of cava, so it is extremely important that you avoid getting behind the wheel.

What you can do if you are going to celebrate the evening in a big city like Madrid or Barcelona is download the metro applications. In this way, you can check the availability of the metro service at any time and if you don't know the metro map, create a route directly.

Another interesting option for getting around is taking a taxi or renting a car without a driver. Taxis already know how they work. PideTaxi is one of the applications that we like the most, because it puts at your disposal a whopping 18,000 taxis from a single app, no matter what Spanish city you are in , because it works for all those that have taxi service.

When you access the application, the system will automatically detect the address from which the taxi is requested Next, you will have to confirm the address, selecting the different options and clicking on Reserve.The taxi will come to meet you and you will know at all times which vehicle will pick you up and what license number it has. This app is available for both Android and iOS.

But there are other interesting options, which you can also use (if you prefer). We refer to services such as Cabify or Uber. In these cases you can also download the corresponding versions for iOS and Android As a customer you will be geolocated at all times and the drivers are identified.

From the application installed on your mobile you can choose the type of vehicle you want to pick you up (very useful if you are traveling with a group numerous, if you or any of your relatives or friends use a wheelchair, if you need to transport a baby stroller, etc.). The good thing about all this is that you will always know the price of the trip before accepting it and that you will pay through the application, thus avoiding the problem of not having money with you or having no change.

Find a Party

Do you already know which party you're going to at the end of the year? Whether you are one of those who have everything prepared to the millimeter or if you prefer to improvise, these applications that we propose will be great for you. They are perfect tools for finding parties near you you or anywhere in the city. Or organize your own!

The first application that we propose is called Wannaparty, an application that for now only works for Android, and that is used to find parties in nearby homes. You can send requests to the hosts so that they choose if they want to accept you in their party or not And from there, meet new people and enjoy. If you don't have an Android phone, don't worry, you can also register through a Facebook or Instagram account at wannaparty.function

But we have more interesting applications You have, for example, Fever, which is an application to find plans nearby (including events with discounts and promotions); Eventbrite, a service with which you can see everything (or almost everything) that's going on near you, or Meetup, the perfect application for all those who want to party, but have no intention of doing it alone. The three applications that we propose are available for iOS and iOS: just click on the links to download for one operating system or another.

Walk safely on the street

In recent times the violence that some men carry out on women has been made visible and denounced. Macho attacks are a reality that we should not ignore and walking safely down the street should be, above all, a priority.If this New Year's Eve you are going to move alone at some point – when leaving to go to a party or when returning home – the best thing you can do is install an application that it protects you.

NiUnaMenos is a good app to always have installed on your phone, with which you can press a panic button whenever you consider it appropriate. Before, of course, you will have to configure it, indicating one or several contact telephone numbers, to which information will be sent on the exact point where you are . Use it whenever you are afraid or when you encounter/witness a situation of violence or harassment.

In addition, if you have any problem or are at risk, call 112. From here you can request assistance in any type of emergency: he alth (ambulance), firefighting) and rescue or citizen security (Police and Civil Guard).

Apps to contract domestic services

If you have organized a family New Year's Eve, surely you don't need it, but if this year you prefer to go out as a couple or with friends, you may have to resort to the service of a person who stays with your little ones . Another domestic service that you may need on New Year's Eve – and at any other time of the year – can be cleaning, pet care or home care.

Whatever it is, you should know that there is an application specially designed to meet these needs. It's called Yoopies. All you have to do is select the service you need and enter a zip code. From there, a list with all the candidates will appear before you. You can check their profiles and if you like any of these, contact them.There is a special section of babysitters for the New Year with which you can speed up your search. You can download the application for Android or iOS.

If you need it, you can also find someone to help you clean up the mess from last night or to repair the blind that your friends broke accidentally. Did you know there are apps for this? A service that we liked – and a lot – is Clintu, available for both iOS and Android. It's all about finding the perfect person to help you that day. Although maybe if she convinces you, count on her for the rest of the year.

How about some music?

If you organize the party at home you will need food, drinks and lots of music. To do this, you can opt for applications as basic as Spotify.It will help you put all the music you want, as well as create playlists. If you want to use it with jumps and without (which is the best for a party) you will have to subscribe to the payment method.

Although if you don't have enough with this, you should know that there are other apps, such as Deezer, with which you can create all kinds of playlists. Also remember, that both on Spotify and on Deezer you have lists already created with special dance music for New Year's Eve parties. This way you can invest your time in truly important things: such as counting the grapes or making canapés.

Recipe and shopping list apps

Almost all Christmas celebrations take place around a table, so food is almost the most important thing of all. If you are celebrating New Year's Eve at home, we recommend using a recipe app to find the perfect dish for your guests.You have Cookpad, Home Cooking Recipes, Tasty or myTaste Recipes.

And then don't forget your shopping list: lest you realize late in the afternoon – with all the shops closed – that you've left your prawns behind. Apps like Listonic's Shopping List or Bring! They are perfect for making a shopping list and even sharing it with your family or friends In this way, they can also pick up anything you need and you can get on with it, whether it's cooking or putting on a little more mascara.

Meal delivery

You don't have time to cook and you want to organize an impromptu dinner? Well, in that case, surely you should install the applications that you already know (if you don't have them) to order food at home. The main ones are Deliveroo and JustEat.If the establishment is open (which doesn't have to be on New Year's Eve), you'll receive a freshly made pizza, a helping of succulent cannelloni or a platter of sushi home.

Another thing you can do, especially if you are missing an ingredient for dinner, is to ask for a Glovo. From here you can check the route of your order and know when it will arrive more or less at your house.

Time to settle accounts…

Whether you have organized the end of the year with friends or family, the time will come to settle accounts. This can be done at the beginning of the party (surely you will be fresher to do the calculations) or at the end. The order of the factors does not change the product, but to make things a little easier for you, you have an interesting option, which is to use applications like Twyp (iOS and Android) or Bizum (iOS and Android). With them you can distribute expenses and pay instantly, from your credit card, without the need to use coins or bills, or return change.

And for you, which of these apps is essential? What others would you recommend?
