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.

Go through the list, share your opinion and suggest other Nepali apps that you like.
♦ Nepali Patro
