Everyone knows that the crowd and inflated prices in shopping malls during the festive season are very discouraging. but guess what? we have shopping apps like Jumia, Konga and Glovo to the rescue. All you have to do is order your foodstuffs, drinks, clothes, and pieces of jewellery all from the comfort of your home.
What’s even better is that these shopping apps are giving massive discounts on all products this festive season.
These apps are free and easy to download. all you have to do is go to your App store or Play Store, download, and start shopping!
Movie streaming apps
One of the best ways to enjoy the festive season is to binge-watch movies with family and friends. It is a great family bonding experience. If you are like me and don’t like going out during the Christmas holidays because of the crowd then I would love to recommend the best movie streaming apps which are Netflix, Prime Video, ShowMax, HBO Max, Apple TV, and YouTube.
These apps help keep you entertained during the festive period and are free to download but require a monthly subscription to enjoy all the benefits.

Travelling and trip apps
It’s the holiday season and I know a lot of you will be travelling to spend the holiday with loved ones. Whether you are travelling to your home town or a new city, you need a good travelling app to help you organize your trip.
Travel apps sort out your travel plans from flights to booking accommodations, exciting tourist sites, top-rated restaurants, and a lot more. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can do it all on your own. especially if you are travelling out of the country. It can get stressful and you need a travel app to make things easier and functional.
The best travel apps right now include; Tripfest, Wakanow, TravelPlus, TripAdvisor, TripIt, Booking.com, and Kayak.
Language and translation apps
A language/translation app is a must-have if you are vacationing in a new region. It is important to be able to translate sentences, to bridge the communication gap when you are in a foreign country.
These language/translation apps make learning new languages easy and are free to download (in-app purchases may apply), so they earn a spot on our list of essential apps to have this period. Some of them are Google Translate, Duolingo, Busuu, Memrise, and Kabimba.
Cooking apps
There’s a lot of pressure that comes with cooking during the festive period. Especially because you might be cooking for a large number and cooking a variety of dishes. Cooking apps help take the pressure off you as they give you a step-by-step guide on how to cook these dishes perfectly. It’s an absolute must-have. Some examples are Food.com, PepperPlate, Yummly, Kitchen Stories, etc.
Download any of these apps and cook up a storm in the kitchen!
While there are lots of apps you can explore, these are just a few to help you navigate through the festive season and overcome challenges you might face.
