Moving to a new city can undoubtedly be one of the most exciting things to happen to you - but it can also be scariest!

Surrounded by new faces in a new and busy environment is overwhelming, but it can be made easier. No, not just by using Google Maps - there is more to life.

• Citymapper (Android) (iPhone) For when you need to find your way. It works offline so will save some panicking if don't have a signal when underground! It'll give you real-time updates and direct route instructions for tubes and buses!
• Uber (Android) (iPhone) Get home safely via Uber day or night. Uber is great because you can read reviews of the drivers and choose who you want to take you home. You also directly pay online via card, saving you carrying cash around. 
• GPS Find me! (Android) or Find My Friends (iPhone) If you're really having problems with directions or can't describe to a friend where you're at - let them do the hard work!
• Where's My Droid or Find My iPhone  These only work if your phone is switched on but can be really helpful! They'll ease your nerves when you've misplaced your phone and it turns up in the bag you've already checked 5 times or if you believe it might be stolen it could help pinpoint its location.
