HUAWEI AppGallery serves up an App for Every Type of Woman

Mobile giant HUAWEI has recognised the complex role that women perform on a daily basis, and has structured its official app hosting and distribution platform, HUAWEI AppGallery, to serve the requirements of South Africa’s modern women.

HUAWEI’s campaign, called “An App for Every Type of Woman”, showcases handpicked apps matched with different characteristics, interests and lifestyles of the broad range of South African women.

Whether they are homebodies, career-focused, fashionistas, sports fanatics, travellers, shoppers, readers, business powerhouses, financially savvy, or any combination of these, they will find a lifestyle app aligned to them on HUAWEI AppGallery.

Here are a few of the specially curated apps which are showcased:
