Top 5 apps digital nomads must use to live in Korea

As a digital nomad in South Korea, having the right apps on your smartphone can greatly improve your experience and make your life more convenient. Here are the top 5 apps you should consider downloading:

KakaoTalk

KakaoTalk is the most popular messaging app in South Korea, used by the majority of the population. It allows you to send text messages, make voice calls, video calls, and even send money to friends. You can also join group chats, making it an essential communication tool in South Korea.

Naver Maps

While Google Maps might be your go-to app for navigation in other countries, it is not as reliable in South Korea. Instead, try using Naver Maps, which provides more accurate and up-to-date maps, directions, and public transportation information. The app also offers features like real-time traffic updates and nearby points of interest.

KakaoMetro

Navigating the subway system in South Korea can be a bit overwhelming, especially in larger cities like Seoul. KakaoMetro is an essential app for digital nomads, as it provides detailed subway maps, route planning, and estimated travel times. It also offers real-time train schedules and transfer information.

Yogiyo or Baedal Minjok

Eating out or ordering delivery is a big part of Korean culture, and these two apps are the most popular food delivery services in the country. They offer a wide variety of restaurants and cuisines to choose from, with easy payment options and reliable delivery service. Both apps have English versions available, making it simple for non-Korean speakers to navigate and order food.

Papago

As a digital nomad, you may encounter language barriers during your stay in South Korea. Papago is a translation app developed by Naver, which offers more accurate translations for Korean compared to other translation apps like Google Translate. It supports text, voice, and image translations, making it an essential tool for everyday communication.

 

These top 5 apps will help you navigate your daily life in South Korea more easily, making your experience as a digital nomad smoother and more enjoyable.
