myKorea app review: share the love

Introduction

myKorea is a must-have iPhone and iPad app for those of you who are either native to Korea or just love to visit on a regular basis and want to share your love of the country with like-minded folks via photos, comments, recommendations, and so on.

This app makes a great addition to the Social Networking category of the App Store, and is one that I would very much like to recommend to all you Koreaphiles out there who want to interact with people who feel the same way about the nation.

Do You Love Korea?

This is a fun little app that has been developed with the intention of making it easy for you to meet others online and your love of Korea, and it is particularly enjoyable to Koreans who want to discuss their wonderful country.

You’ll have full access to all of the latest news and information coming out of Korea, as well as direct links to the country’s official website, national anthem, and more.

 

Show It!

With myKorea you can exchange messages, photos, comments, and more with other users, which is great for ideological, historical, or other kinds of discussions, and you can also make recommendations for places to visit based on the tags you can pin onto a map.

The best travel apps for the iPad

This app features a fairly generic interface with all of the sections and features very clearly delineated, so I’m very impressed with what the developer has done and hope to see them releasing further apps of this kind for other countries around the world.

 

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Share your love or pride of Korea with others online
• Listen to the Korean national anthem and visit the government’s official website
• Keep up with the latest national press releases from Korea
• Share messages, photos, comments, and more with other myKorea users
• Add your favorite locations and recommendations or see others from users
• Report abusive or hateful comments with a single tap

Cons

• Some users have reported intermittent crashing; I haven’t experienced any issues so this could be a compatibility issue

 

Final Words

myKorea is sure to provide hours of fun for residents or frequent visitors of Korea, particularly South Korea.

I don’t often come across iPhone and iPad apps that are based on the discussion of a specific country like this one is, so this is a refreshing change to a lot of the more typical social networking apps.
