Seriously, if you’re a new iPhone user, i recommend that you just download the first 5 apps because it’s free, the 4 other apps are useful but only applies to certain people.
Eg : If you own a car and do not rely on public transport then the train and cab apps is useless for you.
Anyways, there’re more apps listed below where all of it are free at the moment, so feel free to download them.

One thing i find it funny is there’re some really random apps like MahSing Group and the ones below :
Very random but i believe that there’ll be people who’re interested in them then Lol!
Personally, i only find CineApps and Trapster useful for me as i use them pretty often to check for movie times & venues as well as Roadblocks and Live Police for trapster. I’ve downloaded the other apps but i rarely use them.
Do share with me if you have any other apps in mind that you think is relevant for Malaysians, perhaps the more useful ones.
Till then, i hope you could benefit from the apps above. =D
