What apps can make living in New York easier?

My sister is moving to New York in a few weeks. She has never been and is somewhat intimidated by the whole change. What can make the transition easier? Ipad or iphone apps are the things I'm actually looking for. Maps, restaurants, discounts, anything goes. Anything you think that will make life easier there?

There's a bunch on the MTA website here: http://www.mta.info/apps/

  • Why doesn't my gps work in New York? So I was in New York a few days ago and when I was in Manhattan I tried to get to times square. My cars gps, my galaxy s4 gps and my friends iphone had the same problem. The gps would tell me to go the opposite route then halfway go another direction. Could this problem happen because I was roaming? Or is new York that big that it causes gps's to break?
  • Where can I buy an iPhone 5s (no contract) in New York? I'm going for a visit in a couple of weeks, its cheaper than it is here. Is it still out of stock? Where would I be able to buy it on a no-contract basis? Also, will I loose the warranty that comes with it if I use it in Canada?
  • Want to buy an iphone or ipod touch in new york? I'm going to new York in two weeks, and I was wondering if I would be able to buy an iphone there, cus everyone says there much cheaper in the us, but obviosuloy i'm going to be using it in the uk so I would have to buy it unlocked and get a new sim ect… So would that just rise the price even more, making it pointless to buy it in new York. Also I was wondering how much an ipod touch would cost over there, is there any point me buying either of them over there?
  • Using my iphone in new york without it charging me alot? I just want to use the camera on my iphone as a camera as i can't afford to buy a separate cam, is it posible for me to use the camera and maybe be able to reseive a few texts off my parents in uk without using the internet or it charging me to turn it on? Sorry forgot to say how do i turn the internet off as i figure thats what charges are for
