As life gets hectic, many of us don't have the time to visit different shops in search of the product we're looking for. Finding what we need becomes a struggle and a hassle. The Yellow app is a comprehensive search platform that will help you find any product or service you require, across the Maltese islands. Here is how the Yellow app can solve your most common daily difficulties, as a busy person in Malta or Gozo.

Booking multiple appointments

It's easy to lose track of your personal appointments. The Yellow app has just been integrated with Timify, a booking engine you can use to book appointments 24/7. Instead of phoning your hairdresser, mechanic or doctor individually during their opening hours, through Timify you can schedule your appointments at any time of day. Your appointment will automatically show up in the Timify calendar of that particular business. Their calendar is updated in real time so you can modify or delete your appointment at any time. You'll also be able to keep track of your own personal appointments by glancing at your Timify-booked appointments on the Yellow app. This way you won't risk creating clashes in your own timetable.

Finding an open pharmacy on a Sunday

Ever needed a pharmacy on a Sunday but struggled to find one open near you? The Yellow app makes it super easy. Simply type 'pharmacy' in the search bar, select your locality and voilà! If you run the search on a Sunday or a public holiday (which is when the struggle usually kicks in) you can tick the 'Open Now' option to make your pharmacy hunt even easier. You'll surely find one open near you from all the Pharmacies listed on Yellow. What's more, you can phone the pharmacy directly from the app, just to make doubly sure they're open.

Running low on fuel

There are many petrol stations around Malta and Gozo. But you'd be surprised at how stressful it can be to find one when you're running low on fuel in an area you're unfamiliar with. Like any other Yellow app search, in a matter of seconds you can look up your nearest station by locality - from a total of 61 Petrol Service Stations. But that's not all. To avoid getting lost and using up more precious fuel, you can activate your phone's GPS and use the app itself to direct you to your nearest station.

Asking around for recommendations

Posting on Facebook, browsing online or asking friends for recommendations are all good ways of finding what you need. But not if you're chasing time and need to make a quick purchase. Not only does the Yellow app provide you with essential basic information about every single business listed. It also ensures that you find your perfect match. The 848 Restaurants listed on Yellow, for instance, are categorised by cuisine type thanks to the Yellow Restaurant Guide, catering for all your specific and urgent dining needs.

Ordering food on delivery

There are times when you just don't feel like cooking. Or when you want to treat yourself to some takeout. It often happens that you start phoning different restaurants, only to find out they don't deliver or only deliver in their locality. The Yellow app makes this process easier. All you have to do is type "delivery" to access the full list of restaurants and food outlets that offer a Food Delivery Service. Then filter your search by locality to shortlist the restaurants to the ones in your town or village. You'll be able to see whether they're open or closed and, if they're open, all you have to do is hit the call button and place your order.

The Yellow app has been downloaded more than 60,000 times so far, and includes a range of over 21,000 businesses to choose from. And, it's completely free! Join Malta and Gozo's speedy shoppers, and download the Yellow app today on Apple or Android.
