On the go, mobile shopping

Due to family issues, I've spent the past year and a half or so living near my relatives,
so I've only done shops close to where I'm living - so I am rusty in terms of knowing what
else is available out there in the wild....and moves with time.
That's about to change since in a few days I am leaving for a long trip by road and by air that will have
me on the move for over a month and a half.
Then, when I do return, I will be traveling again for much of the remainder of this year.
The only phone I app I use when on the move is Presto.
When I have time, I log into my other MSC accounts and look around.
I prefer Presto since the location moves with you.
What other apps could I use, similar to Presto, that might show other available shops?
How do you search for shops when you are away from home?

Not so sure about other apps than Presto, but some job boards make it easy to see what's available by changing the postal code and radius, like with Sassie companies and Marketforce. Otherwise I have emailed schedulers in the past a few days before traveling, letting them know where I am going and asking if there's anything available in those areas. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, especially since some MSCs only shop certain states or regions, and then there might be MSCs who shop those areas that you aren't signed up with. Are you signed up with JobSlinger (they have a free version), which gives you a list of all the Sassie platform companies? That might be helpful.
Most of the Sassie applications can use your location if you enable it on your device.
Yeah, for some reason my desktop and laptop don't play well with the Sassie sites. No problem with my phone.

Thank you...if I'm using Presto on my phone - don't all the Sassie shops show up there already?

I've never signed up for Jobslinger. I can bring them up on my laptop - but they are not available for a download in the AppStore? hmmm
No. Some MSCs that use Presto also list other shops on their own job boards that you won't see on Presto.
Try I Secret Shop. It has an app.

And Jobslinger would be my recommendation to multiple MSCs shops in one place.
