I’m definitely no stranger to trying to track down the best deals and coupons. It’s a weekly habit that sometimes feels like a chore. What if there was a way to turn the tedious task of collecting coupons and deals into a game?
Savelings is an awesome free game that turns bargain hunting into a cool fun game.
It’s a unique combination of Pokémon Go and your favorite coupon app and lets you play for useful deals in your local area. Plus it encourages you to get out and explore!
Concept and Gameplay:
If you’re like me, you probably have the same amount of skepticism I did when I first heard of Savelings, by Savelings Inc. A game that can actually save you money and encourage you to get out and about seemed way too “out there”, and I’ve seen quite a few games in my time as a reviewer.
However, Savelings definitely delivers. Similar to Pokémon Go, the game uses your actual location to display eggs on the screen. You need to travel within range of an egg to tap on it, which starts a mini game.
In order to unlock the coupon that’s inside you must carefully aim your slingshot and crack it. This took me a ton of tries and is definitely not easy. Once you hit the egg, you’re presented with a coupon that’s relevant for a business in your local area.
Features:
Savelings is a free game, but that doesn’t mean it skips out on cool features that make life a bit easier. For example, earned coupons are stored within the app so you can quickly access them when you’re ready to use them.
It’s tough to say exactly where Savelings sources its coupons and deals, but it looks like there are a multitude of ad networks that can easily sign up with the service. What this means for you is that you’re way more likely to find deals for a wide variety of businesses in your area.
On a side note, as a frequent player of Pokémon Go I did notice that eggs seem to pop up in similar areas to Pokémon. This might be a complete coincidence, but it’s something that I took notice to when reviewing the game.
Value:
Savelings is available to download from the App Store for free and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad. One of the really cool things about this game is that it is not supported with ads or in-app purchases.
Instead of having to spend money, Savelings is a unique opportunity for you to save money while getting out and exploring the neighborhood.
You’re way more likely to discover cool new businesses in your town simply because they are offering a really great deal on a product or service.
Savelings requires iOS 8.0 or newer and is compatible with iPhone and iPad.

Looking for a way to close all of the running apps on your iPhone all at once? Apple insists you shouldn’t ever have to force close an iOS app because memory and processor management is good enough such measures shouldn’t be necessary. In reality, though, there are definitely times when you might benefit from forcibly closing your apps, such as when your device is low on memory. The problem is how tedious it can be closing them one at a time. Here’s a way you can close running apps all at one time.
This process is going to suspend all of your apps, freeing up memory and processor time. The first thing you need to do is press the Sleep/Wake button until you see the slider to shut down your iPhone.
Next, press and hold the Home Button for approximately five seconds, or until you are returned to either your Lock or Home Screen. That’s it, your apps have all been suspended. If you double-press the Home Button, you’ll still see each of them listed. However, you will probably notice these apps refresh or relaunch when you tap on them. That’s because they’ve actually been shut down.
Since your apps will still show up if you double-press the Home Button, let’s show that this process actually works. The first screenshot below shows the memory usage on my iPhone 7 Plus just before I close running apps all at once.
Next, you can see the memory usage after completing the process. As you can see, more than a gigabyte of memory has been freed up.
If you have a large number of apps running, this method can be much faster than swiping each one up individually to close it. You free up memory and processor time, helping to speed up your iPhone.
