Some new Israeli apps to make your life easier
Become a service provider, check your baby's development or search for a tenth person for a minyan; all these are brand new and white and blue.
SoPick
It's the middle of the night and you just feel like getting something from the supermarket or any store, or you are out of range of its delivery service and you really want that product? This app jumps on the bandwagon of "anyone can be a service provider." You connect to the app, specify what you want and set up the delivery. In addition, if you happen to be on your way somewhere, or you want to supplement your income here and there, you can become one of the Pickers – couriers. The application is currently being pilot tested in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Bnei Brak and Givatayim. It will later be extended to other parts of the country.
Available on: Android, iOS
Nearby Angels
One of the best and most important things is the community in which we live is the community spirit, which is now a part of an app. Here you register and indicate in which fields you want to be of help. When the help is needed - whether you are stuck with a flat tire, need a hitch or just a tenth person for a minyan - you can send a request to friends in the community and others will come to your aid. Another time, you will be the one receiving the call for help.
Available on: Android, iOS
Picok
On hot summer days, bored teenagers look for challenges or something to do to keep busy. This app is a summer game in which one person can send others challenges. Have an idea? Give your friend a task. After having completed it, they will take a picture of themselves and send it to you. Then, switch roles.

Haystack Business Card Reader
Business cards given colleagues, potential business partners or service providers can often get lost. With this app you can photograph the business card, and the person is added as a contact to your phone with a single click. It also allows you to create an electronic business card for yourself that you can share with others. You saved yourself space and work, and saved a tree or two along the way.
Available on: Android, iOS
WizCall
Summer is a time when many Israelis travel abroad, with family or friends, and it is important to keep in touch. But you don't have to give all your money to telecom companies. So how do you know if your cellular package is the cheapest? This app answers that question.
You type in the desired destination number, and the app instantly gives you all the companies' rates in real time. Choose the desired option, and call. How easy it is to save money.
Available on: Android, iOS
Quando
We encounter service providers on a daily basis and one of the most annoying aspects is to coordinate their arrival. This app allows direct access to the calendar of any relevant service provider.
You search for the professional, whether it be a plumber, a private tutor, a make-up artist or a dogwalker, you check when they are available and enter yourself into their schedule. This way you can choose who is available at the most convenient time for you or who you really want as soon as possible.
Available on: Android, iOS.
PregApp
Are you pregnant? Congratulations! Like all parents, especially if you are first-time parents-to-be, you are curious and wondering what is going on with your baby. In today's technological era, you can accompany and monitor the baby's development in the uterus and see how it looks, what it is doing and at which stage of development it is in. Get to know your child before meeting face to face.
Available on: Android, iOS
An Impossible Rush
Some training for the mind and reflexes - a game where you are given a colored square that falls from top down, and you touch the screen and rotate it in order to land the square on the right side of the color. Sounds simple? So far, I have not encountered anyone who has passed all 50 stages. Let me know if you're successful.
