Tap that (Doha) App!

Doha Diaries gives you five helpful smartphone applications to download in this city. Being in an era of smart phones, we constantly look out for the new apps to download in Doha. Here are our suggestions for free apps available in the city: 

Al Cinema

1) Al Cinema by ADabisc - Cinema is one of the most loved leisure options in the city and usually we struggle to find out about updated show timings and latest movies playing in the city. This app makes life easier by displaying movies, timings and locations of various shows playing around the city.  Highly recommended app for the movie goers / lovers in Qatar.

Masarak iTraffic

2) Traffic Qatar  - Have you had the gripping suspicion about being caught by a speed camera in the city?Traffic Qatar saves you the tension time of waiting for the message or checking online for speed violations on your vehicle. Kode Blink has developed a great app  where all you need to do is enter your vehicle number and press one green button "go".

3) Masarak iTraffic -  In Doha, it is a given that the roads in the city will always be congested during the typical "office hours" (although it does feel like office timings stretch to 24 hours in a day!).  There have been times the app has failed on us, but Masarak iTraffic gets it traffic information mostly right. Now you can get your traffic updates before you get out of the house so that you will know which road, street and roundabout to avoid. A definite yes for this app!

Arabic

4)Arabic by Holfeld Apps - Ever been to a cafe where placing an order in the local language was a herculean task? With this easy to use language learning app, you can study simple but essential Arabic words and phrases that will help you in day to day Doha life.

Zomato

5) Zomato - We are surprised that Zomato isn't as popular an application here. This is our go to app to check menus for restaurants here, as well as contact numbers for cafes and restaurants around the city. It also has featured reviews of eating spots around Doha and you get to choose restaurants according to preferred cuisines and locations. You can follow foodies around the city and find out about their personal experiences and reviews. A must download according to us!
