5 Pinoy-made apps for the everyday go-getter
We can all agree that we're living a fast-paced life, specially now that almost all our needs rely on the convenience of an Internet connection or mobile data.
So how can we improve our day-to-day routine? We all deserve to have the most useful apps to serve our essential needs — it’s the little things that matter. Sometimes, it’s not always about being active on our Instagram stories, having random takes on the most mundane things on Twitter, or sharing memes on Facebook. We gotta look at the bigger picture, too, and these apps could surely help!
If you want to be always on-the-go for all your mobile needs wherever you may be, try these Pinoy-developed apps, free of use:
Gabay. Gabay is an accessibility-forward application that caters to PWDs through volunteers anytime, anywhere. With a click of a button, PWD users can book on-the-spot assistance or schedule one ahead of time and a match volunteer will help them.
Pic-a-Talk. Pic-a-Talk is an assistive mobile application for nonverbal children with special needs, with speech features to help them communicate. Featuring a minimalist user interface, the application is easy to use with a tap of a button; users choose an object from a selection of images to represent the word that was accompanied by an audio. These range from central daily activities and numbers to clothing and toiletries.
Trash Cash. Trash Cash is an AI-based waste recognition application where users can turn their plastic trash into rewards. The app works by allowing users to scan discarded plastic materials through their smartphones and collect the items for proper segregation and disposal. The users may earn trash points once they deposit the collected materials to the nearest drop-off site.
