This app can be great for those in long periods of transit, exercising or having a celebration. It’s the portable DJ that fits in your pocket.

Scoutmob– Apps like Groupon have faded in popularity as of recently, but Atlanta-based start-up Scoutmob is available in both iOS and Android and can help you find savings for your dining experiences around the city.  The app is not available for every city, but if you live in a larger city and are wondering what’s good to eat and where to get it for the best price, try Scoutmob.
