What apps do you guys use in Japan?

I've been living in Japan for about 3 months now and I'd like to use all the apps that I've used back home. (ie. Twitter, Gmail, Chrome, Android, etc.) I'm having trouble finding apps in Japan though.

I know the Google Play store is basically dead. But, what about the App Store? I know that a lot of them are only available in Japanese.

Anybody have any suggestions on what apps I should use in Japan? (Note: Not looking for paid apps). You can find any app on the Play Store. Just install it from the Play Store with no Japanese language settings enabled. And you'll get an English version of the app.

There is one app that I would recommend to anyone who is living in Japan. It's called "Google Translate". The Google Translate app is very easy to use and is able to translate not just text messages but also emails and websites.

That is true. I'm still trying to find some apps that I could use in Japan. Thanks for the tip though.

I've actually downloaded this app. But, it doesn't seem to be working in Japan.

@ nikon: you might need to enable Google Play services for the app. If you do that, the app will prompt you to download Google Play Store. You can then download the APK file and install it on your phone.

What app does Japan use most?

Japan's largest smartphone app, Glico, is also home to the country's second largest food chain.

It takes up over 70 percent of Japan's smartphone market.

But what does the company really do in Japan? Does it offer value for money? Does it actually sell any products? Let's find out. The company's origins. According to Glico's LinkedIn profile, SoftBank was originally a mobile phone company launched back in 2023. It had a joint venture with Tachikawa Aircraft - and even created the original i-mode (the forerunner to iOS) together with the United Kingdom's O2. It then sold its stake to Ericsson and became more focused on developing the SoftBank network.

Glico was founded in 2023, by three former SoftBank employees: Hirokazu Miyakawa, Hideyuki Oshitani, and Hiroshi Nishitakado. They were tasked with finding 'a new use' for people who had been waiting in line at the Tokyo subway with their smartphones or tablets.

Back when Glico was set up, Android and Apple were still battling it out to be the platform of choice. Japan, though, was just starting to accept smartphones: at the time, around 10 percent of people owned a smartphone. So why did these three entrepreneurs want to launch a smartphone? Simple: they liked the idea of playing with tech rather than just selling it!

At the time, Japan led the world when it came to smartphones by some margin. That said, their sales numbers remained fairly low, and it was only around 2023 that smartphones began to truly take off.

The Glico story continues. While Glico started as a small local company working with a relatively obscure brand (that had been owned by General Mills since 1986), the company has slowly been gaining in popularity.
