If it is that time of the week for you and your friends to spend some quality time down at the local pub, then it would be hard to avoid leaving behind your mobile phone. After all, having a handset around will be pretty handy when you need to call the local cab service to pick you and your otherwise indisposed drinking buddies back home.
One of the nicest suggestions that we could give is to download a pub-search app. There are plenty of these kinds of apps that focus on various locations in the UK; there are several that will give you a quick rundown of suggestions for the coziest and most impressive places to catch the World Cup Matches or simply a nice quiet pub where you could talk your worries away with friends.
Another great feature about these pub search applications is that they not only provide you with the names of pubs, but also how to get there. By using a phone’s GPS features, users will be given the fastest routes to the desired location. Some apps will even provide transportation options as well, with various cab services that can be called upon when needed.
Another important tip is to bring a small bag that you can sling around your shoulders or tie around your waist. This provides people with a means to store phones and other things without having to worry about losing track of the items. As long as the bag is on your body, you can be sure that you would not be leaving anything behind.
Lastly, keep an alarm. As fun as nights out can be, nothing is worse than lacking moderation. Set an alarm on your mobile phone to remind when to call it a night and start heading back home. And before you do, it would be wise to schedule next week’s meet up and decide whose turn it is to pay for the rounds.

It is not surprising that many app makers and OS developers are cashing in on the World Cup –it’s a big event and everyone want to be in on the latest news and happenings. And while some people can afford to actually attend the matches at South Africa, the rest of us are stuck living our day to day lives hoping that England’s matches are not scheduled on our busiest moments.
Of course, that is pretty hard to avoid, but thanks to mobile phone technology, getting access to all the big happenings at any time is a piece of cake. One simply has to connect to a WiFi or 3G network and all the big updates are available. The only consideration now is finding the best places to grab the information you want.
And when it comes to info about the World Cup, it is all about the current games, scoreboards, player profiles and other statistics –and the World DroidCup app has it all. The app not only has all the information in a very concise and easy to read format, but it looks really good too. The best part is that the DroidCup app is also free.
But if you want to do a little more reading as opposed to getting just a quick overview of the latest stats, then you might want to tune in to the news. With a no-nonsense, graphic-minimal layout, the EvriThing World Cup app is the instant news feed for you. All the information is laid out in a chronological order and gives readers a good insight on the latest things that are happening. As with the DroidCup, this app is also free!
Rounding up our list of free apps is a standard issue app for any sports fan: BBC Sport News is a major free app that gives users all the big stories and highlights of matches regarding the World Cup and everything else. No fan can afford to go without this.
