Living in a shared apartment is awesome - ideally, that's mostly true. If there is a bit of trouble, it usually revolves around cleaning, shopping or handling the shared flat share finances. Various shared apartment apps that organize and simplify living together can help. We'll tell you our ten best shared apartment apps.
1. Flatastic
Flatastic is an old hand among shared apartment apps and a really great all-rounder when it comes to shared apartment management. Here four functions regulate everything that comes with living together. Finances : The financial overview shows you a clear list of your expenses, making monthly cash flow unnecessary. In any case, there are no longer any conflicts about who paid what. Cleaning schedule : Whose turn is it to clean the bathroom? Who will take away the mountain of returnable bottles? The app not only reminds you and your roommates of the upcoming tasks, but also turns them into a playful points/ranking system. The tasks can therefore be completed individually and flexibly and the total points show you at the end who completed how many of the total tasks/points. Shopping list : Never run out of toilet paper or olive oil again - simply create a shared shopping list in the app. Pinboard : Someone is coming to visit? Are you planning a cooking evening together? The pin board is like a kind of group chat and offers the opportunity to communicate everything in the app. The app was developed by three students who have lived in shared apartments from Berlin to Melbourne.

2. FlatUp! The upgrade for your shared apartment!
Also FlatUp! includes all the important functions needed for relaxed coexistence. Long calculations back and forth are a thing of the past - in the finance section you can simply enter your expenses and the app will then show you the easiest way to get back to zero. There is also a cleaning schedule integrated into the app, which notifies you every Monday morning with your tasks for the upcoming week and ensures that no one neglects the tasks. However, if you need a playful points incentive to happily swing the cleaning rag, you will find a simple and classic cleaning plan here. Weekly shopping is also made easy with the shared shopping list . Additionally, FlatUp! a shared calendar in which you can record your absences, visits or joint activities. Nice additional function for the forgetful among you: your birthdays are also displayed in the calendar. For all other things that come to your mind, there is also a pinboard here for chatting.

3. Flatify - shared apartment & household app
The third app that offers comprehensive features for shared apartment organization is Flatify. With Flatify, too, the cleaning schedule is not simply divided among all roommates: a points system distributes the points to individual tasks, so that a subsequent ranking shows who has done the most household chores - this makes cleaning at least a little more fun. Flatify also offers the right function for separate and shared finances : you can split your expenses directly from the app, send payment reminders and pay debts directly via Paypal. Similar to finances, reminders can also be sent within the shopping list . Last but not least, a shareable calendar and a chat function round off this app.

4. Bring!
Bring! is suitable for those who just need a digital shopping list for living together. After all roommates have been invited to the shared shopping list and it has been synchronized, you can get started. On the one hand, there is a very large selection of products already saved in the app that can easily be selected for the shopping list, but on the other hand, individual products can also be added to the list manually. In addition, the quantity and a personal note can be specified for the products. But that's not all: what's special about Bring! is that there is now also an overview of the latest offers in the supermarkets in your area as well as new cooking recipes and inspiration every day.
