This handy local app gives you a breakdown on ATMs (a total of fivedifferent banks are supported as well as the ATM5 network, SBI, AXS kiosks and iNETS kiosks) around your location, complete with directions on how to get there. As simple as it sounds and looks, iCash SG comes in handy if you are in the middle of nowhere with no cash to spare.

Stuck at night with no place to go? The SG After 12 does exactly what it sets out to do, which is to give you a list of nearby amenities that are still open after the clock strikes midnight. Clinics, clubs/bars and restaurants are some of the options you can check out, with basic information like address and opening hours given for easy referencing. We would love to see it add on a basic rating system with photos, but it does the job fairly well for now.

The gothere.sg app gives a comprehensive look at the cost of travelling in Singapore which we may add, is somewhat of a topic of contention amongst Singaporeans. While most free apps like Google Maps provide just enough information for us to get around to a foreign place, gothere.sg goes one step further by providing precise information on bus fares, parking rates and even ERP charges.

If you are a fan of Fruit Ninja, you will definitely welcome Paper Ninja.The gameplay here is slightly different,but that doesn't make it any less fun. This highly-rated local game is cute, fast-paced and good for all ages.

Singaporeans love their food. Think of the local buUuk app as a platform made just for hardcore foodies. The app helps users to find better places to eat at in their vicinity as well as recommend eateries based on user feedback and ratings. Furthermore, you can add places to the directory and share your experiences with other users.

Getting a cab can be a chore especially during peak hours. With this simple yet useful app, you can easily book a cab by tapping on the choices available: you no longer have to dial the numbers, the app takes care of that entirely. Included here is also the option to book your cab via SMS.
