For many UK consumers, managing finances can be a stressful and daunting task. However, with the rise of smartphone apps, there are now numerous free tools available to help households save money.
In collaboration with consumer organisation Which?, we have identified some of the top free smartphone apps that can make a real difference to your wallet.
