Must have mobile apps on your smartphone this festive season
Indian Festivals are all about getting together and celebrating the spirit of togetherness with your friends and family, but what if your close ones stay far away in different cities or in another country. A phone call is always an option, but it is the Instant messaging applications which have successfully bridged the gap of communication for people across the globe to bring them closer real time.
Chat Apps are revolutionizing the way people converse during family occasions & festivals via funky doodles, stickers and voice notes. They not only help make the entire affair stimulating but also help in saving precious time while prepping for a grand family event. Indian festivals like Diwali, Dusshera, BhaiDhuj are all about getting together with your loved ones and celebrating. And that fun shouldn’t just be restricted to those couple of days!
Messaging apps are the easiest and the coolest way to instantly connect with your family and Viber can help you do all these things and more! Through its group chat feature users can create groups for friends & family members and continue the merriment of festivals even later. You can also make your very own custom greeting-card doodle and send that out to your friends through Viber. Stickers are a big hit among youngsters and Viber provides more than 3500 free stickers in its sticker store that allows users to add fun while chatting with their friends.
Another interesting app available is Evernote which is designed for modern writing and that means everything you write stays with you everywhere you go. Moreover, you can sync everything. Your notes, web clips, files, and images are available whenever you need them on every device and computer you use. So you can browse for gifts at home and then pick up right where you left off at work, all the while ticking things off your To-Do list without ever touching a pen and a paper. Multitasking at its finest!
Diwali is never complete, until you shop like crazy for yourself and your family and friends. For that, apps by online shopping websites like eBay, Amazon, Flipkart or Myntra, come in handy.
