20 Handy Renovation Apps Available Right Now

Welcome to the digital world! 

There are online guides, e-books and manuals readily available to help you out with any task. The latest addition to the plethora of information includes apps (short for applications).

Apps are pieces of software which work either online or offline. The app store is evolving at a tremendous rate. While browsing the Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS), you might have noticed certain apps that fall under the category "House & Home". These are designed to help you out with DIY and home improvement projects. 

Before we get started, I want to let you know that this list is created based on personal preferences alone and the items are not ranked in any order.

To help you out, I've compiled a list of some handy apps that you can utilize for future projects.
