At their best, apps make our lives easier, more organized, and perhaps even save us some money in the meantime.
During the holidays, they can keep the jumble of tasks, gifts, to-do lists, and appointments straight.
Some keep track of all the tracking IDs for your many orders straight, some share grocery lists for the family potluck with guests, and others will get you money back automatically when an order comes in late or has a price drop after you've already bought something. You can even find apps to share wish lists to make your shopping that much easier.
Especially for the hectic months ahead, it pays to have the inanimate helpers of apps on your side. So in the interest of that, below you'll find 10 apps that will help make life easier and more organized this holiday season.

Paribus
Paribus.coThis app connects to your emails (and has an option to do the same with your Amazon account) and tracks all the purchases you make to see if any experience a price drop or late delivery that would make you eligible for money back from participating merchants. If any do, Paribus will contact customer service and facilitate the refund on your behalf. Read more here.

Snip Snap Coupon
iTunesSnip Snap claims to have the biggest collection of in-store coupons of any app. Snap a picture of a printed offer, and Snip Snap will convert all the text, images, and barcodes into a mobile-optimized offer, which you redeem using your screen.
When you get to a store, pull up the coupon barcode, promo code, or photograph and present it to the cashier to redeem. You can also "snip" coupons from or follow their featured coupon bundles and search the massive database of them to find one on demand. And since no one remembers when they have coupons or to where, the app will remind you once you enter a store you have coupons saved for (or when one has an expiration date coming up).
Download Snip Snap for free here.
