"Siri, find me a designated driver"

"Towers here, towers there but cell towers are not everywhere"
OpenSignal lets you see coverage before deciding on a carrier. No wonder my AT&T phone doesn't work here.

"Siri, find me a designated driver" (EPIC FAIL!)
A Siri functionality flaw solved using the StearClear app. The company brings you and your car home at the same rate of using a taxi. And guys, us girls will be much more impressed this way.

"I had a headache 'this big' "
Step aside Excedrin. Parking headaches have disappeared with Parking Panda. The phone app lets you reserve a parking space by location and price. I think I'll save my Excedrin for a Justin Bieber concert.

"May MyForce Be With You...Always"
Kevin Costner becomes a cell phone app. MyForce brings bodyguard-like protection via your cell phone. Immediate responders are dipatched at the tap of a screen already equipped with your location and physical description. That's so 2012...however, I'll miss the biceps and McGyver maneuvers.

Parking Panda
"Saving me a headache one parking spot at a time."
https://www.parkingpanda.com/

2 reasons I don't drive into the city: parking and cost. Parking Panda is my new best friend. Not only can I pre-order a parking spot but I may also save money by planning ahead.

MyForce
"My very own bodyguard? YES!"
http://myforce.com/

Ever feel just a tad nervous when you're walking home at 2am? Or maybe you just wanna feel like J.Lo with your own body guard. Either way - it's here! MyForce has brought an app to your phone which sends any emergency immediately to responders with one simple tap. Health emergencies, burglaries, whatever the situation, you're covered.

- Once the alert is triggered, your phone dims to avoid drawing attention
- Your profile containing health issues and physical description is sent with your alert
- Consistent monitoring of your location
- It's a pretty penny at $120 a year
