Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson shows how to customize your iPhone apps
A simple iPhone hack makes reading every app.
The beauty of having a smartphone is that there's pretty much an app for everything, including getting your groceries delivered right to your front door. Who doesn't love that? If you're not sure which one best suits you, I'm listing five of our top picks here for you.
1. Instacart
iOS: 4.8 stars
Android: 4.4 stars
Instacart delivers in all 50 states. (Fox News)
Instacart is available on both iOS and Android devices and has rave reviews from consumers. The service does have delivery fees for those who do not opt for a membership. However, the membership costs are reasonable. For just $99 per year or $9.99 per month, you’ll get free delivery for every order over $35. Having a membership will also exempt you from peak pricing when Instacart is busy. The delivery fee is between $3.99 and $7.99 per order for nonmembers, and orders under $35 cost more. The service also delivers in all 50 states, including Washington D.C. Keep an eye out for pricing at stores that do not say that it's the same as in-store prices.
