If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, did you know there is a growing number of free and low-cost apps you can use to help you find an apartment?
The iTunes App Store doesn't group apartment search apps into their own section -- you'll instead find them buried among unrelated apps in various categories, such as Business, Lifestyle, Navigation, and Utilities. So, for your convenience, I've put together a listing of all current iPhone and iPod touch apps that aim to help apartment hunters with their search for the perfect rental.
After searching for an app, read its description and reviews, so you know what others think of the product. Then, download the app and go apartment hunting!
