This is the time of year when Australians pack their suitcases and use the long Easter holiday to get away from the city rat race. Adding to this, it’s ANZAC Day on the 25th, so many people will extend their holiday this year. It’s surely an exciting time and the perfect time to download WeChat to your smartphone, the perfect free app travel companion. WeChat The Perfect Free App Travel Companion

WeChat – Free – iPhone Android

From a mountain getaway to a brief island escape, chances are, you’re already day dreaming about the approaching long Easter weekend holiday. No matter where your travels take you, there is now a fun and easy way to stay in touch and make new friends.
WeChat, the leading mobile social communication application for smartphones, is a free social app that makes it fun and easy to connect with others. With more than 272 million monthly active users, (that’s bigger than the active Twitter community!), WeChat offers voice and video calls, messaging groups for up to 100 members as well as photo and video sharing.

Here are the top ways WeChat can make your next holiday more fun:

– Make new friends at your hostel with WeChat’s Friend Radar and Shake features and create a group for all of your new travel buddies.

– Overcome any language barrier using fun, animated stickers to communicate with a local.

– Keep yourself entertained for hours on the road or in the sky with WeChat’s social games – or even challenge a few nearby passengers to join in on the fun.

– Use the real-time location sharing to find a hip underground bar or local hotspot.

– Share your photos and favourite travel moments one-on-one or among your friends through WeChat’s“Moments” feature.

WeChat is available free for download on Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Symbian and Windows operating systems.
