Actually you don't have to use any app if you are not sure or don't feel like doing so. The alternative is CASH which is still accepted. Singapore has not gone totally cashless like in China.
Something pretty cool -- BlueSG, a car sharing service but with only electric vehicles. Useful if you commute daily to another location (with a BlueSG parking lot) and prefer to drive. Take note that you'll probably need to have to convert your local driver's license to a Singaporean one before you can even register for it, but in the long term this might be good, especially with the crazy cost of owning a car here :)
Most of us use PayLah to pay each other as well. It’s become a verb 😆. Very common when you’re out for a meal with friends, we will always say “I’ll PayLah! you for my coffee.” Foodpanda and Deliveroo offer restaurants close to your neighborhood and maybe that’s why it seems like the food reaches you quicker. Grab doesn’t restrict the selection to just your neighborhood. Shopping-wise, you should also check out Qoo10. It has its own delivery fleet and if you choose a local retailer you can sometimes even get next-day delivery.
Try using PayNow. It can be used with any bank. We say PayNow for my coffee. I switch from PayLah to PayNow because not everyone has a DBS/POSB bank account
Hi I’m coming to Singapore February 20-22. How do I get from the airport to my hotel? Is taxi cheap? Train? Which one is best choice? N cheaper? Please explain or tell me so I have an idea
@@applet2873 : love scams? Dating/donating/lottery scams. Sms from unknown scams, bank sms scams(bank will never SMS you from bitly link) and many more similar to that. So be careful.
@@sonicwavestudio8722 thank you so much! I’ll be there in 2 days. Do you think it’s safer to take taxi or grab from airport to city? I’m a solo female traveler landing at 1am, and hoping taxi will take my credit card and not be scam.
@@applet2873 o ya, you can take grab too but it’s costly in SG. Since safety is good in SG , I can suggest that you can take (metered) taxi or bus.(if you can speak Hokkien and Chinese would be a plus point also as you can understand their local lingo and good rapport with them.
Yeah l'm not an expat,yet l don't even understand some of the apps!For instance there's a:Panda app that appears n3others which l didn't apply!Cos l don't shop online or order food,so l find it unnecessary!

Private car: Gojek ( only transport, unlike grab)
Payment: Favepay (small discounts for repeated purchases)
Map: Singapore Maps (gives directions, transport options, travelling time)
One Map, Singapore Maps.
Both are great for directions in SG.
I’m going to move there this April,n your videos have been very helpful:) thank u:)
I'm so glad! Good luck with your move!
Thanks for this video. Much needed info when you live in Singapore.

probably the first thing anyone moving to Singapore should install... TraceTogether app
Super useful again, thank you
Thanks!
And the natives are quite different from those in Pattaya
Lovely apps & nice to know you👍
Foood . Am so hungry . Which app dude 😂
the word LAH is like a slang in singapore or it is call singlish lol

So my advice here,just use the necessary apps or u'll b stuck with it!
if u drive, waze app is good.
Fave pay
Grabpay
Google pay
Apple Pay
Paynow
And many more
So many!!
@@americaninsingapore6405 Please use shopback for cash back
Google pay, grab pay and paynow is more than enough
Singtel dash
Samsung pay
Union pay
Alipay
Shopee pay
@@skyler1665 who like to use Singtel dash, shopee pay and alipay in Singapore when they went out?
You can try WhyQ for food... I personally like it.

Singapore transportation map... Singapore metro.... Good aps for public bus and train.
Just be careful of Scams Bro. That's the only Big threats in Singapore . Whatever is too good to be true, Its probably is. Have a nice day:D
What kind of scams should we look out for as a tourist?

The thing is when l want 2not hav those apps on phone,app if l were 2stop it there might b an error cause!So l'm simply stuck with it;)*!!!
Awesome!
Carousell=carouHell. Plenty of typical Lowballers 🤣
so true
is taking Taxi or Grab is easier and cheaper? Instead of getting $300 room per night?
Yeah l'm not an expat,yet l don't even understand some of the apps!For instance there's a:Panda app that appears n3others which l didn't apply!Cos l don't shop online or order food,so l find it unnecessary!
if visiting for a week, will apple pay work at the MRT turnstiles?
I think so. Apple Pay seems pretty universal/international. Just keep in mind that some credit cards charge international fees.
i stayed in singapore since i was born
Grab is very easy to use！
I insist on cash payments!
I use google earth app to find places..
Everything is money living In the tiny island name Singapore.
Trape in a people power politic
That is a nightmare
You mentioned best way to pay for public transport, only that you recommend google maps over Apple Maps.
To me, the easiest way to pay for public transit is with a digital wallet. They can be scanned just like MRT cards, but you don't need a card.
@@americaninsingapore6405 yup. Nowadays if I didn’t drive I will use iPhone to tap
Ok thanks guys, just have to hope your bank supports Apple wallet
@@karenclare4631 I prefer google map than apple map. Only recently I see apple map car on the road. Hopefully apple map can improve.
I can see Google map car many years ago n until now can still see them on road
