Nepali Apps : Best Nepali Android Apps you must install on your smartphone

The number of Smartphones users, specially with Android OS is increasing day by day. The same scenario is in Nepal too. As soon as we get our hands on new smartphone, one of the first things we do is install apps that we like or the apps that are useful. Here in this post I’ve prepared a list of must have Nepali Apps in your smartphone, mostly if you’re living in Nepal. Go through the list, share your opinion and suggest other Nepali apps that you like.

♦ Nepali Patro

The default Calendar / date in your mobile is most probably English Calendar. Being a Nepali and living in Nepal, most of the times we forget Nepali date. It is much more difficult for Nepali people living abroad. So to minimize this difficulty, install this app “Nepali Patro” on your smartphone.

Good widgets for home screen	Pop up message for tutorial shows every time app is launched
Option to select Nepali or English Font	App isn’t ad-free
