I'm a simple emigrant and I've gathered useful apps for Germany

Over the years I've lived here, of course I've installed and removed a whole bunch of apps, but most of them are still with me. Bureaucracy AusweisApp – an electronic ID for dealing with bureaucracy Post & DHL App – a great and convenient postal app Health TK-App – manage insurance, receipts, certificates, and a bonus program. Doctolib and jameda – search for doctors and book an appointment or an online consultation. TeleClinic – telemedicine: online consultations with German doctors, prescriptions, and certificates. Food and Restaurants Wolt – delivery of meals and groceries from local restaurants and shops, which I use most often. But lately the service has deteriorated. Lieferando and Uber Eats – other popular food delivery apps. TheFork – table reservations at restaurants with discounts, available in many countries. Too Good To Go – buying unsold food from cafes and supermarkets at reduced prices. I mostly check there when I’m at the train station or airport. Travel Booking.com – booking hotels, tickets, and activities for trips. DB Navigator – German railways: timetables, tickets, routes. Park4Night – search for parking spots, campsites, and motorhome parking across Europe. Splitwise – splitting expenses and debt tracking among friends. I use it exclusively while traveling, so I placed it in this section. Komoot – routes for hikes, bike rides, and hiking across Europe. Omio – compare and buy tickets for trains, buses, and airplanes across Europe. FlixBus – buses across Europe and the only alternative to German railways. Shopping BestSecret – branded clothing, shoes, and other goods at discount. H&M – I have it installed because I bring clothes for recycling. Temu – like AliExpress, but much nicer. Zalando, About You, Shein, Vinted, eBay Kleinanzeigen – more shopping, but I use them very rarely, so only on the websites. The last two are mainly for second-hand items. Also ASOS – I used to order there all the time, but they made returns paid. Services and Transport Flowwow – I order surprises there in Russia. Uber, Bolt, FREE NOW – taxi orders; Bolt is usually the cheapest. Lime, TIER, it seems, now Dott, Call a Bike – rental of e-scooters and bicycles. RMVgo – Frankfurt public transport. Finance and Discounts ING Deutschland – my main bank for salary and my EC card. N26 – my favorite online bank with lots of perks. Taxfix – filing tax returns online, suitable for simple cases. Trade Republic – investments, interest on the balance, cashback. benefits – discounts for company employees. If you work in Germany, it’s very likely you have this too. MyDealz – a community of good deals and coupons. Shoop and Payback – cashback and coupons for shopping at German stores. dm, Rossmann, REWE, EDEKA, Lidl Plus, ALDI SÜD, PENNY, Kaufland, Netto – apps with discounts and promos for all standard German supermarkets; pick whichever suits you best. From the whole list, only BestSecret isn’t accessible without a referral at all, so I added it to the post. I was too lazy to embed all the other referral links, so please share them in the comments with each other. Drop more cool apps for Germany in the comments! #useful
