The 4 best iOS apps in a row
The App Store works overtime every week to handle the never-ending stream of new apps and updates. However, you will hardly notice this, because only a small part of it is worth installing. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
1. Pakkie
Pakkie is a new app from the Netherlands, which is specially intended for the online sale of second-hand items. It works as follows: if you sell something, you can create a payment request in the Pakkie app. By giving these to the buyer, he or she can entertain the sale amount including the shipping costs. The money does not end up directly in the seller’s account, but Pakkie continues to hold on to the package until the package has been delivered.
The app hopes to encourage sellers to use the service, because creating a shipping label in the app is very easy and does not cost anything extra. This way you can see the maximum weight and dimensions of a small and large package, so that you can easily determine which package is sufficient for you. For the buyer, the app is an extra safety net to prevent fraud and to get value for money.
