What are some of the best mobile apps that help you navigate and enjoy Vancouver better? We asked our followers on Twitter that question and these ones rose to the top. There are a ton of other apps that make your city life easier and we'll be sharing more in the future, for now here are an essential 5!
Eat St.! This one was developed locally (by Invoke, makers of Hootsuite, which we'll feature in a future post) and is the perfect way to connect with food trucks in your area. It'll ensure you connect with an awesome meal from one of our city's wonderful mobile food vendors, and rate them!

Pay By Phone! While it might not be as sexy as the Canucks one, this app allows you to pay for parking at the touch of your screen. Never worry about carrying change or getting ticketed ever again, and feel good about supporting a Vancouver-born company that is now going global with this technology!
