In China, you can bring a mobile phone when you go out. You can swipe the QR code when you take a bus, make an appointment online when you eat, register for medical treatment, and use Alipay or WeChat to pay. It is a veritable "One machine in hand, I have it in the world"!
When I arrived in the Philippines, I was unfamiliar with the place, it was difficult to eat, shopping, travel, and everything was difficult! So the question is, is there any APP in the Philippines that can make people travel worry-free? Of course there is
! Today we will first recommend 21 Filipino APPs.
Transportation type
In the Philippines, transportation APP is almost a must-have for human-machine machines. First, it is clear and real, and second, it is relatively safe.
below introduces several APPs related to transportation. In addition to the common Grab and Uber, there are several APPs worth trying.
1. Grab
Recommendation Index: ★★★★★★
I believe everyone has installed the taxi software on the streets of the Philippines.
It is worth mentioning that this software can also be used in other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia , Indonesia , Thailand, Singapore , Vietnam, Myanmar , etc. I really don’t worry about traveling to Southeast Asia!
2. Uber
Recommendation Index: ★★★★★★
Uber can be said to be a global taxi-hailing software! If Grab takes you to travel to Southeast Asia, then Uber takes you to travel the whole world.
is recommended to install both, and be prepared for both. If Grab can’t be called, you can change to Uber, so as to ensure that it won’t be misleading.
3. Angkas
Recommended index: ★★★☆
I am almost late to work, what should I do? Open Angkas quickly!
Angkas is a local taxi-hailing software developed by Filipinos, which takes you away from traffic jams and helps you save time.
However, this software was ordered to be closed by the Philippines' Ministry of Transport last year because it was operated without a license. Restarting services is nowhere to be achieved. Those who are interested should log in to the official website to check it out.
4. Waze
Recommendation Index: ★★★☆☆
Angkas has been disabled. What should I do if I encounter urgent matters? Then change to Waze!
Waze can guide you to bypass traffic jams and accident sections, saving a lot of time. Many drivers in the Philippines are using it, so you might as well try it too!
Travel
I am used to listening to large websites such as Trip advisor, Agoda, Booking.com. Do you want to feel fresh? Today I will introduce to you some fresh but practical Philippine travel APPs, and grabbing tickets is no problem.
5. TRAVELOKA
Recommended Index: ★★★★★★
Purchase air tickets, but the credit card is not available. What should I do? Just use Traveloka!
Here, whether it is a Philippine air ticket or an international air ticket, you can choose to pay in cash. When you don’t have a local credit card in the Philippines and the domestic credit card is not available, you can understand the power of this software!
If you want to find a discount, you can also go to Traveloka! Cheap air tickets and great value hotels are all in your hands.
6. TravelBook
Recommendation Index: ★★☆☆☆
TRAVELBOOK mainly focuses on hotel reservations in the Philippines, and you can find cheaper hotels than similar websites above. In addition, the software has a reward function and can be deducted for next reservation. The reason why
has only two stars is that there are not enough resource projects and it is not particularly convenient to use.
7. PinoyTravel
Recommendation Index: ★★★★★★
Is there any APP that can ensure that I buy tickets with seats?
has it! PinoyTravel! Whether you are nearby or far away, you can book bus tickets online through this software, so that you don’t have to go to major transfer stations. What’s even more heartwarming is that you don’t need to pay immediately after placing an order. Just confirm that you have a seat and then pay. Safety and guaranteed, five-star recommendation!
Unfortunately, this software does not have an ios version. Friends who need it can download the Android version.
8. KLOOK Kelu
Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆
It is rare for relatives and friends to come to the Philippines to visit you thousands of miles away. How should they entertain them? Don’t worry, KLOOK will share your worries! There are many one-day tours and chartered cars on itineraries that can be provided for groups to travel freely, which is convenient and practical! You can refer to the itinerary above to lead your family and friends to experience the local scenic spots.
9. Philippines
Recommended index: ★★☆☆☆
People are not familiar with the place, so let’s deepen their understanding! Philippines, as the name suggests, is the Philippines' information APP. You can view city sightseeing, popular attractions, and tourist routes, giving you a new understanding of the Philippines.
Food Reviews
Although the Philippines includes Southeast Asian cuisine, the quality is indeed mixed, which is worrying. How to choose a quality restaurant is a big problem. Next, I will recommend several food apps with your own reviews to avoid detours.
10.ZOMATO
Recommendation Index: ★★★★★★
ZOMATO is known as the food version of "Dianping". It is an application that searches restaurant information and scores and evaluates, helping consumers discover, evaluate and choose a restaurant.
Chinese, Western, Korean, Japanese, everything is available. Location, menu, reviews, and clear at a glance. Some popular restaurants also support online positioning, which is the best choice for entertaining friends.
11.looloo Philippines
Recommendation index: ★★☆☆☆
As the title is, this is the diary of a foodie in the Philippines, similar to Ctrip and 16th food travel notes, including real food photos and taste comments, which are very valuable for reference.
However, this APP is relatively unpopular, with few downloads and far less user base than ZOMATO.
12.Yelp
Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆
Yelp is a crowdsourcing local business review and social APP. Users can rate restaurants, schools and other products or services. The reviews inside are relatively interesting, with a like function, and are simple to operate and easy to use. The only disadvantage is that they are not as famous as ZOMATO and are not as complete in categories.
Food delivery
For foodies, the biggest advantage of the Philippines is that takeout is delivered all day and all over the city. Even if you shout takeout in the middle of the night, there will be a dedicated person to deliver it. Below we recommend some takeaway apps to you.
13.HONESTBEE
Recommended index: ★★★★★★
I am used to using Meituan in China. In the Philippines, Honestbee can be seamlessly connected, and get started immediately. After placing an order, the product's preparation status, delivery time, etc. will be displayed. All you need to do is to stay at home and wait for the delivery guy to come to your door.
is not only a delicacy, but also a supermarket product. You can also help send flowers to your partner for a surprise on Valentine's Day. BTW, this software often has discount codes, which can help you save money in minutes.
14.FOODPANDA
Recommended index: ★★★★☆
If you do not need additional services and simply order takeaway, you can use Foodpanda, which is also a very useful APP, especially when buying Chatime, because Honestbee does not.
15.Phippy Filipino Chinese takeaway ordering
Recommendation index: ★☆☆☆☆
Friends who don’t understand English can download this APP, all in Chinese, and have entered many Chinese restaurants. If you are not used to local Filipino food, you can find the taste of your hometown here.
16.eatigo
Recommendation index: ★★★★☆
Although takeout is easy, making money is not easy. Please cherish it. This money-saving app is worthy of you. Search for the dishes you want to eat, just buy discounts, and the operation is simple and clear.
Shopping
food APP has been introduced, and the next step is the shopping APP that girls must have.
I believe that friends living in Makati have the most say. They can only go shopping here to visit large shopping malls. The clothing products can be bought with fast fashion and famous brands, and the scope of shopping is very limited.
has the following APP, so that everyone can shop as much as they want at home.
17.LAZADA
Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆
LAZADA is the well-deserved king of Southeast Asian e-commerce. Behind it is Alibaba investment, and you can find all living equipment on it. Online shopping has one characteristic: if you don’t have the product’s quality, you can’t know the quality. Everyone should pay attention to it when using it.
18.SHOPEE
Recommended Index: ★★★★☆
Singapore e-commerce shrimp skin auction, this is an online flea market, relatively cheap, and there is also an auction. It is also a very active platform in the Philippines, and you can buy some small daily necessities.
19.Zalorah
Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆
Girls’ favorite is here. This is a very textured shopping app. It has complete men and women’s clothing and is classified clearly. The only disadvantage is that the price is not cheaper than that of physical stores, but it is worth it to avoid the fatigue of shopping.
20.GCASH
Recommended index: ★★★★☆
Philippine version of Alipay, which can be used to recharge phone bills, pay electricity bills, purchase movie tickets, etc., which is quite convenient. And every purchase has some feedback, which is quite affordable.
21.Lalamove
Recommended index: ★★★★☆
Temporarily sending files but the goods cannot be found, what should I do? Use Lalamove. Save time, low shipping costs, and can track order status in real time.
