Useful Mobile Apps During Your Stay In Israel
On our training camps we use Whatsapp daily to communicate with fellow camp participants. Stay up to date on where to meet, share camp pictures and make dinner plans. You don’t need a local number and can connect to anyone as long as you have an internet connection. Israelis don’t SMS, we use Whatsapp. A large part of this is because we receive so many spam messages via sms. This has led most Israelis to ignore sms and use Whatsapp instead. Most of the major companies in Israel even offer support via Whatsapp messenger.
Gett
Uber never made it big in Israel due to government regulations. Gett is the go-to app for ordering taxis. It works very similar to Uber but with Taxis. You can pay via credit card and drivers on this service are generally polite and honest.
Moovit
This is a great app for public transport developed in Israel. Simply enter where you want to go and it will work out the best route via public transport with live updates. It will tell you when to get off the bus/train and you can even use it to pay for your fare.
Wolt
