Hi Guys,

Mother’s Day is coming up soon and I thought to share some apps to help you make your mom feel like she really is the best mom in the world. We also encourage Dads to lend a hand in making the day even more special. Mother is the supreme power and she will remain the core of our existence so no matter what small or big you can do for her, never leave it on later! Do it right now! #MakeitHappen

Zomato
If you want to treat mom for breakfast or brunch on Sunday morning, we highly recommend downloading the Zomato app. It has an impressive directory of restaurants in South Africa which includes, contact details, full menu, operating hours, directions, and most importantly, user-generated reviews. Check out Zomato Collections to find the ideal, indulgent spot for mom. Cities covered are Cape Town, Durban, Garden Route, Hartbeespoort, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Richards Bay.

Allrecipes 

If you want to go a step further and pull out all the stops, try making a meal from scratch. One of the best resources online, with over 50 000 options is Allrecipes. It has a community of more than 40 million cooks. Sift for ideas by cuisine, ingredient, dish type, etc; recipes include photos, nutritional information, or step-by-step video instructions.

Edgars
Spoil mom with her favourite perfume, beauty products or even clothes by browsing first on the Edgars app. Use the app to see if the product or correct size item is available at your nearest store. Once you order it, you can have the product delivered to your closest branch.

PhotoCollage
If you live away from mom, one of the best personalised messages you can send are photos of you together. Download the PhotoCollage app, which is free, and start putting your special moments together in one picture. There are a variety of layouts to choose from, including wallpapers and photo walls.

Simfy Africa (Free)

A really nice surprise would be to create a music playlist of mom’s favourite songs. Giving you instant access to more than 27 million tracks, Simfy Africa offers the ultimate music experience on the move. Sign up for Simfy Africa with your Lumia and enjoy a free 3-month subscription worth R170. Once you’re done creating her playlist, just save it for offline listening so she wouldn’t need an internet connection to listen to it, from anywhere!

Mango (Free) Mango and Microsoft celebrate launch of the Mango app with R 1 flights. The app is available for all devices operating Microsoft’s Windows 8.1 operating system. In celebration of the app launch, the airline has made Windows exclusive fares available from R 1 for a limited time (Terms & Conditions do apply).

Be prepared for #Loadshedding #Jozi #Lumia

Hi Guys,

With scheduled loadshedding now making a comeback, Microsoft would like to help you be prepared so you know when the lights are due to go off and better plan your lives with these loadshedding apps available on the Windows Phone Store. It also helps you to buy those candles to light or better buy some of the Solar chargeable lights so as to keep you company and save you from the trouble of lighting candles and thinking about all the Carbon-dioxide it is producing.

SA Power Alert (Free)
See the current electricity load status in South Africa. Worried about load shedding, see what is the latest from PowerAlert.co.za. The national power state is displayed on the front page. Use the links under areas to go to PowerAlert.co.za for a more detailed description of power in your area. 

 

Powertime (Free) With this app you can buy Prepaid Electricity tokens 24/7 anywhere in SOUTH AFRICA and check out your usage stats. Pay via credit card, EFT and PayGenius wallet. Currently only South African meters are supported by this app. More than 50 municipalities are supported for prepaid electricity purchase: Cape Town, Eskom, Knysna, Ethekwini, Stellenbosch, Drakenstein and much more! Get the list on http://www.powertime.co.za/en/blog/exclusive-interactive-tariff-map/
 
 

 
Eishkom (Free)
Keep track of Eskom's power struggle & know your schedule for different load shedding stages. 


You can’t control when the lights go off but you can rely on these Lumia apps to make things easier when it comes to preparing your life around loadshedding and monitoring electricity usage. Follow Windows Phones on twitter and facebook.

Do buy these Solar lights as I have done and will post about the ones I have got. It's really cool devices to have and will save you from all the trouble of loadshedding from many perspectives. 

Cheers!!!
