Showcasing some of Africa’s mobile apps
Africa is full of opportunities, and with a need to create something truly African, a number of mobile app developers have taken up the challenge. Here are some of the better mobile apps developed in Africa, for Africans:
Mocality is Kenya’s largest business directory. The app allows users to find relevant local businesses in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and Nyeri, with more cities being added every month.
Providing users with locations, users can also access contact details along with offered products and services.
The app sports a clean design and loads rather quickly, which is important for the fast-paced world of commerce.
Films are a huge part of African culture, and a number of them have been shot and produced here as well. Nigeria’s film industry is one of the largest on the continent, affectionately known as Nollywood.
With the Afrinolly mobile app, users will be able to watch movie trailers of these films, with a strong focus on Nollywood. It also provides users with in-depth news and interviews with some of the biggest stars, not only from the movies, but music as well.
The app is well designed, loads quickly and is very easy to navigate. Users can also submit film reviews.
The app also sports a Share button, so users can share interesting articles and movie trailers with friends. It is a great app for any movie lover — an African version of IMDb.com
