The best apps for expats in Dominican Republic

Well this seems like a strange thread.  I use the same Apps I would use anywhere! I use the app of the bank where my account is for example.

Not sure there are apps specific to here, rather specific websites.

Are there any specifically for DR, I would be interest in knowing what they are.

So some other moderators clarified some of this.  We have some online sites rather than apps.

Mercado libre is a site to buy and sell almost anything.

I wl post more once I am at my computer.

A couple for the newbies:

- Currency Plus (quickly calculates any currency to RD Pesos)
- Translate (for those not fluent in Spanish)

Both good things to have on your phone.  I use google translate a lot even after  14 years.

Although widely used outside of the US, I was introduced to Whatsapp while visiting the DR and it's used by just about everyone there.  Although a site, not an app - I have also found that subscribing to the town facebook pages (In my case Las Terrenas) gives you a lot of local information and a greater feel for the community and culture.  Great idea Priscilla!  I look forward to seeing the replies.

IKEA Santo Domingo, WhatsApp, a good currency exchange app.
