JOHANNESBURG – A list of the top five apps to download this festive season to keep you updated, safe and to make your holiday a happier one.
The festive season has arrived and you don’t want to miss out on anything that’s happening around you. Here are top five apps to download which will help you stay connected and get all the latest information on entertainment and safety.
- Unitehood
The festive season can become hectic and the last thing you need is not to be able to communicate with friends and family in times of emergencies. The level of crime increases tremendously during this time and Unitehood is the right tool to equip yourself to ensure that you’re not alone in times of need. This app alerts friends within a 5km radius from you, who are also connected to the app, for help. The app has five functions – crime, assistance, panic, track me and track suspect. You can also chat and send messages to your contacts.
- SnapScan
Nothing is as frustrating as standing in long Christmas queues only to discover that when you get to the cashier you have forgotten your bank card at home and you have to spend hours in traffic to fetch it and come back to make the actual purchase. But with SnapScan you can pay without your card. SnapScan securely encrypts your card details to your phone and allows you to pay for any goods. And… it’s free.
- GoMetro
GoMetro is your perfect answer to travelling easily over the festive season. It is the first non-GPS traffic alert app in the country. You receive traffic updates, including accident hotspots and Stop and Go alerts along your route. You can also ask questions and receive updates from other people on your route. That’s not all, if you’re planning to ditch your car and use public transport, this app can give you updates for Metrorail, MyCiti, Golden Arrow, Gautrain and Rea Vaya.
The festive season is a time for family and travelling, but you don’t want to miss out on your favourite soccer games. This app gives you an update of all soccer matches that are being played and also provides you with news about players.
