Everyone who’s ever moved from one place into a new place can probably testify that Craigslist.org is their best friend during the whole process. Have a couch you’re not taking with you?

I come a across tens if not hundreds of apps on a weekly basis, and while some are just plain dumb, others show some real initiative on the part of the developer. This app, which, in my opinion, should be renamed to something a little more “attractive” is a useful and time saving app that all residents of the US should have on their iPhones.
