News & Reviews:   mobile app

If you're active on social media, you've probably heard about Clubhouse by now. If you haven't, you can get an overview of it here. Anyway, the app has taken the world by storm, but it was only available for iOS users thus far. Fortunately, an Android version should be on the way.

A few weeks back, the Ministry of Health announced that the MySejahtera app will be getting a notable update. It will allow users to register for COVID-19 vaccination and receive notifications when the time comes. This update is now officially available on iOS and soon on Android.

The movement control order (MCO) stops us from visiting relatives this year, but it doesn't prevent you from sending Ang Pows. Yesterday, Maybank announced that you can send them via its MAE app. Today, Boost confirmed that its app will let you do the same.

As you may know, WhatsApp isn't quite the most convenient messaging app around. Since you need your phone number to register, it's restricted to one device only. The company has been working on adding multi-device support to the platform since last year and it seems we may finally get it soon.

If there's one silver lining to what has mostly been a disastrous 2020, it would be the many new ways people have found to work together online. Many companies have been bringing us new updates or platforms to collaborate, and for Facebook one of it is the new Collab app.

If you talk about music apps, Spotify is easily one of the most well-known around. Leaving aside the company's strange decision to test a Stories-like feature, most of what it has in development can be considered useful. In fact, it's said that the app could soon be able to play files locally.

Most of us use Google Maps for navigation or to find places. But occasionally you look up a place like restaurants to see if it's good, right? Well, Google wants to make that easier for you with a new feature added to the platform in the latest update.

As we continue to be restricted by the extended CMCO, more of us avoid going out for takeouts and order delivery instead. If that's the case for you, you may have heard of Hungry, a local food delivery platform that is now partnering with Honor Malaysia.

While most of us are stuck at home these days, some people still need to get out on the roads. For them, Waze is constantly adding new features to improve the user's experience. In the latest update, Waze added a new alert feature for when you're crossing railroads.

For those of you who use the Setel app, this could be good news for you. The app is now officially available for use at over 800 Kedai Mesra stores across the country. This means that it's now a viable payment option at the store, allowing you to pay for items without needing to bring cash.
