By Yang Liu, MBA Student at UCLan Cyprus

In the Internet era, various applications in smartphones have greatly enriched and facilitated our lives. Regardless of whether you are a newcomer or an old friend of UCLan Cyprus, the following applications can make your life easier.

Refuse to be lazy, refuse to procrastinate and download the following apps now for free!

Foody

Online food ordering has developed rapidly mainly because of the pandemic. There are numerous apps where you can choose from, but I believe Foody is the one offering the most choices (around 800 shops including restaurants, coffee shops or even supermarkets)! Foody is currently the application with the highest utilisation rate in Cyprus, with a wide variety of products and large discounts. Finish your class, order your favourite food via Foody and bon appetit!
