Following in GoodService's footsteps (which we reviewed sometime earlier), other concierge apps have come up, making the lives of consumers easy.

Apps such as Lookup and GetYana make use of the ever popular "chat" option to take care of your needs. The best thing about these apps is that they're free and there are no bots involved. They rely on human interaction which makes them comfortable.

From food to handymen, to just information, concierge services have started becoming popular. Armed with just a smartphone, you can get party supplies, food for a big gathering and even get your broken microwave fixed.
 
Looks like futuristic cartoons like Jetsons and Futurama, where all your needs were taken care of with a touch of a button, are not such a distant dream.
