Hi guys!Today let me introduce to you some useful apps, which is English-user friendly, that might be handy while you're travelling in Korea!
1. Seoul Subway/Metro Map
It is one the most useful app in this city that heavily depends on subway as a mean of transport. I noticed that this particular app is the most convenient and user-friendly out of so many Seoul subway app that is available in the market. (If you understand and read Korean, Kakao Metro will be a better one but if you don't, this is more than enough for your trip in Seoul)
The App (you can find it in both App Store and Google Play)
The subway map in English. (Noticed that this app also provides maps of other city such as Busan and Daegu etc.)
Clicked on the particular station that you are curious of and there'll be list of basic informations that you might need it!
Set the departure and arrival station, the app will inform you the duration of the trip, the sirection that you are heading to and the approximate fare needed for the trip.

2. Incheon International Airport App
This app will come in handy for you to check your flight schedule, which check-in counter that you should head to for your flight, the check-in status of the counter (Stand-by, last call etc.) and the departure gate for your trip. Information such as list of restaurants etc. is provided in this app too. Definitely an easier way to keep up track with your flight schedule!
Click at the side bar, and then choose "Flight Info" (on the top left side) to check for flight schedule. The side bar provides a list of informations such as restaurants available, translation etc.
Weather forecast of the arriving destination is listed too.
3. Duty Free App
Planning to shop at the Incheon or Gimpo duty free shop before you flight? This app will be definitely useful for you! There are quite many duty free shops here in South Korea and companies such as Lotte Duty Free, Shinsaege Duty Free etc. sets their duty free shops not only in the city but also at the airport too. Lots of coupons are actually offered here in the app (in this case I'm just taking Lotte Duty Free app as an example, you can download apps of other duty free shops too to compare the price), which sometimes helps to save quite an amount of money. All you have to do is pick up your shopping goodies at the appointed counter inside the airport! (Do remember to go a little earlier, atleast 40 mins-1 hour earlier (incase there's a queue) to the pick-up counter to pick up your stuffs. One can shop 3 hours before their flight time, and you can weather you are still eligible to shop with the app too. Viola! So easy, so convenient!
List of goodies that you can purchase via the app.
Go to 'Events' or 'Promotion' to download those free coupons! (T&C applies)
Check your remaining time of order by keying in your flight details before you start your purchase just to double confirm.

That's it! I hope you all enjoy my simple explanation about the basic apps that you might want to download while you're in Korea. Leave me any comments if you have questions about this post. Till then, anneyong! ^_^
