GCash Among Top 10 Apps In PH In 2022 – Data.Ai

GCash, the country’s top finance app and only double unicorn, is among the top 10 apps in the Philippines in four categories, according to the just released 2022 State of Mobile report of data.ai (formerly App Annie), cementing its position as the top e-wallet for Filipinos. 


The mobile wallet, operated by the Globe Group’s Mynt, ranked the #4 top app in downloads in the Philippines, and #5 in terms of monthly active users in the country across all categories. Notably, it was the only fintech app on the top 10 list in both categories, alongside social media, chat, and e-commerce apps. 


Meanwhile, GCash’s parent Globe was ranked the #4 top company in terms of app downloads across all categories, edging out the only other telco in the list operating an e-wallet, which was in 8th place. 


Among finance apps, meanwhile, GCash was ranked 2nd in terms of the category breakout monthly active users, but is the top mobile wallet on the list. 


“We are proud to be among the top 10 apps in several categories in the new data.ai report. This affirms our standing as the country’s undisputed No. 1 fintech app and inspires us to continue evolving our services to achieve our goal of Finance for All,” GCash President and CEO Martha Sazon.

Apps to Help You Focus and Block Out Distraction - go!

Apps to Help You Focus and Block Out Distraction

Improve your productivity and manage your time wisely with the help of these mobile apps



Do you find yourself struggling to focus on your current tasks? Don’t fret; it’s normal. With all forms of distraction coming at us from left, right, and center, as we juggle multiple deadlines, too, it can be a challenge to merely focus: to sit down with a task and power through it with intention, purpose, and your full attention.


To win the game of what gets your precious attention, consider downloading focus apps that can help you develop mindfulness practices for a better grasp of work-life balance. Focus apps are intended to target particular distractions or unhealthy habits to give you time to be centered. Give your undivided attention to the more important matters!


Here are some ways that focus apps can support you: They block access to the websites that distract you from your responsibilities; they track how much time you allot for different tasks and website browsing; and they offer user-friendly timers should you wish to try the Pomodoro technique (a time management method that divides work into 25-minute intervals, separated by short resting breaks).


In addition, focus apps can help you get into a state of flow: being immersed in a task without being distracted by outside influences such as idle browsing on social media. When part of your brain is focused on something else, your cognitive resources are divided. This only makes you prone to being less organized with processing information. However, if you can fully concentrate on a single thing, you can preserve mental energy. This ultimately leads to increased productivity and efficiency. Who wouldn’t love that for 2023?


Check out the list ahead of focus apps that can support you as you successfully manage your schedule and tasks in 2023.



Forest: Focus for Productivity

Getting to focus might mean serious business, but this doesn’t mean finding calm is out the window. This process doesn’t have to be rigid at all—and Forest is proof. Ranked the #1 paid app in 157 countries, Forest combines the Pomodoro technique with gaming elements to motivate users to stay focused on their goals. When you begin working, you plant a seed that grows into a lush tree over the next 25 minutes. Your plant, however, withers whenever you begin browsing pages on your list of blocked websites. 


Ultimately, this app instills discipline while offering a sense of achievement. When users see the visualized forest with the trees that grew as they focused, they feel a sense of reward and return to that feeling of calm. The best thing about this app is that you can plant real trees to save the Earth through the partnership of the developers with Trees of the Future. This is an organization dedicated to planting trees and ending hunger. 


Forest is available for free on Android and can be purchased starting at P199 via the App Store for iOS. Apart from smartphones, you can also access Forest as a Chrome extension for your computer.





Freedom – Block Distractions

A convenient way of staying focused is by blocking out excessive online notifications and distracting apps. Freedom allows you to block websites and puts you in the driver’s seat of what you can and cannot see, and what you can and cannot access. Decide which websites to include in your custom block lists, so you can focus on the to-do items that matter most. This app gives you the capacity to set durations and specific timeframes so you can keep track of your scheduled blocking sessions. It also has a lockdown mode which makes it impossible to edit your block list while a session is ongoing. Never thought you could resist the urge to scroll through Instagram on your laptop? This app makes it possible.


Freedom is accessible and easy to control across devices, allowing you simultaneously to block websites and apps on your smartphone, tablet, and computer. Freedom is available for free both on Android and iOS devices.




Lumosity: Brain Training

In order to absorb new information and crucial details at work or in school, the mind needs to take a break, too. Lumosity helps train your cognitive skills with fun and creative games that target memory and reasoning. If you feel like your attention span is shrinking, the educational games featured in this app are designed to help develop math skills and boost vocabulary, as well as improve your mental focus and memory retention. The app also provides insights and tailored feedback to guide your training and enhance your brain function every time you play the games. 


Lumosity is available for free both on Android and iOS devices.





Noisli

If you work at home or at an office with distracting sounds like traffic or loud noises, Noisli is your best bet. This app boosts your productivity by allowing you to mix different sounds that improve focus. You can create your own combinations, so whether you like the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops or the rustling of forest leaves, Noisli has something to match your mood. It also has a timer function if you want to measure the duration of your tasks. 


Noisli is available for purchase for P99 via the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.




Todoist: To-Do List and Planner

This simple yet powerful to-do task manager app supports users as they plan out their habits and organize their work and personal lives. Users, especially those who are visual thinkers, can add task boards for different activities and assign them to designated point persons involved in their teams, routines at home, and so much more. 


When used within a team, members can comment on task boards and view a list of subtasks, reminders, and deadlines to ensure that everyone can track the progress of a project and can understand their respective duties. 


Todoist is available for free via the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.





Trello

This app is an easy way to manage and track not just to-do lists but overall progress markers that can benefit you and your colleagues at work. Trello has a system that follows the Kanban method (Japanese for “visual card”), a visual method for managing workflows at the individual, team, and organizational levels. On Trello, each board consists of three columns: “to do,” “doing,” and “done.” Here, you can find at a glance all the cards that you can customize based on the tasks needed to complete the project. In addition, tasks are color-coded with labels and the names of the assigned members for easier navigation.


Trello is helpful and works to clarify the collaborative workflow of an entire team or to remind yourself of the current status of your various duties. As the tasks are completed, the cards can be moved to the “done” column, which allows everyone to see progress and check if the project is on track. 


Trello is available for free via the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.




Staying focused on your tasks can be daunting sometimes, but with these apps, you can develop good habits to help you live a happier life.


Hoping to double down on concentrating at work? Up next: 5 Apps to Help You Concentrate and Get Those Tasks Done.

4 Editing Apps For Creating Great Social Media Stories

It’s time to up your stories game



Everyone is a content creator in their own right on social media. On channels like Facebook and (mainly) Instagram, the story format is what really allows for flexing creative muscle with the intent of, well, telling a story: the places you’ve been, the people you’ve spent time with, the moments and the point of view that you’d like to share with friends and followers. It’s here where editing apps come in handy, giving users video editing, effects, collaging capabilities, filters and more right at their fingertips—no extensive editing know-how necessary. Storytelling can really be made your own.


Ahead, four editing apps that are easy to use yet produce high-impact stories to get you started.


InShot

InShot is an app that can pretty much do it all for social media content editing: photo, video and collage. Plus, you get a library of stickers and effects that can make storytelling fun, adding an extra layer of customization.

Incorporate picture-in-picture. InShot is the app for those serious about creating captivating videos for stories and more.


Download on the App Store for iOS and Google Play Store for Android.




Filmm

With video in focus, this editing app by Zoella and A Color Story takes storytelling through video to new heights with authentic light effects, film scans, distortions, color-grading features and a watermark add-on. What makes Filmm special is its roundup of effects that mimics video taken with 8mm, 18mm, 35mm, a camcorder and more. To get unlimited access to all features, upgrade to Filmm+ for ₱390 a month or ₱1,450 a year.


Download on the App Store for iOS and Google Play Store for Android.




Unfold

Unfold is more than your average editing app; it’s a toolkit for storytellers. The app conveniently comes with its own set of some 400 story templates for you to choose from and then customize. As an all-in-one app, it also comes with video and photo adjusting features so you can achieve your desired overall look beyond utilizing templates.

Dazz Cam

AKA your pocket photographer. The free app features a library of analog film camera effects for photos and videos that allows you to make dynamic stories inspired by retro film camera effects from the ‘80s.

HBO GO in the Philippines: Your Guide to HBO's Streaming App - go!

HBO GO in the Philippines: Your Guide to HBO's Streaming App

Sit back, relax and get your dose of entertainment



The age of streaming and binging has arrived, so it comes as no surprise that major producers are dipping their toes into streaming services, giving viewers control over what they watch and when they want to see it. Best of all, streaming services have begun offering their own apps and subscriptions that let you take TV everywhere and anywhere you go.


Here’s the good news: HBO GO is now available in the Philippines as a standalone service! You can catch your favorite HBO shows like House of the DragonGame of ThronesSilicon Valley, Westworld and Chernobyl—even without an HBO TV subscription.



RELATED: The Most Heartbreaking Moments From I Know This Much Is True


What is HBO GO?

HBO GO is the network's standalone streaming service accessible through hbogoasia.ph or the HBO GO app. Stream the latest Hollywood movies and original productions from HBO, HBO Asia, and Cinemax and get access to HBO's original content, like behind-the-scenes exclusives and trailers.


HBO’s vast library of movies, animated shows, and documentaries is now at your fingertips. Best of all, highly-anticipated HBO Original programs premiere at the same time as HBO viewers in the US, which makes catching up easier—including highly-anticipated original productions streaming at the same time as the U.S., so you're never late for any of the action.


The HBO GO app also has handy features that make your viewing experience easier, better, and an overall ideal home theater experience.


1. Download Option

Want to take your favorite TV series with you without racking up data charges? Don't want to burden the bandwidth at home by streaming? HBO GO gives you the option to download up to 20 movies and episodes onto your device so that you can watch even without internet connection.


2. Personalized Watchlist

One of the best things about streaming is being able to decide what to watch when you want to watch it. HBO GO's personalized watchlist lets you create a list of shows or movies you can watch anytime you want.


3. HD Streaming

Watching your favorite programs is good, but seeing them the way they were made to be viewed is even better. HBO GO provides an optimal viewing experience by streaming all content in true HD quality.


4. Video Continuity

Here's a problem you've probably faced: you're in the middle of watching your favorite show or blockbuster when something comes up and forces you to abandon your stream. HBO GO's video continuity feature lets you pick up where you left off across all signed-in devices, making for a seamless viewing experience.


5. Parental Control

In order to keep watching safe and fun for the whole family, HBO offers a Parental Control feature that restricts access to certain types of content depending on the selected age guidance.

What to Catch on HBO GO: 5 Must-Watch Titles


House of the Dragon

If you’re wondering where to watch Game of Thrones in the Philippines, head straight to HBO GO, where you can also catch its prequel House of the Dragon. This takes place in the same world but features all-new characters. The show follows siblings Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya Targaryen as they fight to take over the Seven Kingdoms. 


Euphoria

Euphoria stars Emmy winner Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Barbie Ferreira, and Maude Apatow. The series follows a group of high school students in a fictional town in Oregon as they navigate through their teen years, gaining praise for its honest depictions of teenage angst, life, love, and loss.


Euphoria is markedly different from other coming-of-age movies on HBO GO, too, for its use of colorful cinematography and unique aesthetic.


Watchmen

If you enjoy action-drama films, Watchmen is a must-watch title for you. The series is directed by Damon Lindelof and stars Regina King, Don Johnson, and Tim Blake Nelson. The movie follows a group of individuals who investigates a crime that involves the police and tackles philosophical questions about morality and human nature.


Succession

One of the best dark comedy shows in recent memory is Succession. It follows the Roy family and their company, Waystar Royco. Here, audiences meet Logan Roy, the head of the family who has been running the company for decades. He has to contend with his children vying for his position. The series is created by Jesse Armstrong and stars Hiam Abbas, Nicholas Braun, Brian Cox, and Kieran Culkin.


The Larry Sanders Show

Fans of TV sitcoms should give The Larry Sanders Show a try. The series aired from 1992 to 1998 and starred the late Garry Shandling as Larry Sanders, the host of a popular late-night talk show.


It follows Larry and his staff of writers, producers, and other employees as they deal with celebrities, the press—and each other. There were notable guest stars during the show's six-season run, including Tom Petty and Jon Stewart.

UPSTREAM PH: Everything You Need to Know

It’s the streaming platform that’s shaking up the local entertainment scene



Today, there continues to be an upward trend in entertainment subscriptions as streaming platforms maintain their growth in number. In such a competitive space, though, the variety of each platform’s content is vital to rising above the streaming wars.


In the Philippines, UPSTREAM is a major contender poised to change the local content industry as it gears up to host all-time favorites and new, untold titles. (TV and film buffs better keep their eyes peeled!)


An Overview of UPSTREAM

UPSTREAM PH


Formerly known as GMovies, a leading movie ticketing platform, UPSTREAM is a video-on-demand (VOD) platform that aims to provide content by Filipinos, for Filipinos. It boasts a diverse entertainment catalog—from movies, series and documentaries, to live shows, concerts and beyond-the-movie screen content and experiences.


UPSTREAM’s goal is to provide an avenue for local creators to showcase their work. But more than that, it focuses on empowering its viewers and expanding their appreciation of content, culture, current events and the arts.


What to Expect in the UPSTREAM Catalog

Excited about this new player in the streaming space? Here’s what you can expect from the UPSTREAM PH catalog.


Filipino-Produced Attractions

UPSTREAM stands for representation, as it provides and promotes Filipinos with locally-made content. It houses some of your favorite genres, including romance, thriller and horror. So, if you’re planning to unwind over the weekend, binge on these proudly Pinoy movies available on the platform: Kun Maupay Man It Panahon (Whether the Weather is Fine), Huling Ulan sa Tag-Araw, Signal Rock and Mano Po.



Hollywood Blockbusters

Apart from local entertainment, UPSTREAM also has a selection of Hollywood blockbusters! You can’t miss out on the thrilling car chases, heart-racing suspense, and tear-jerking moments of some of these titles: Phantom Thread, Fifty Shades of Grey, The Bourne Ultimatum and Fast and Furious Present: Hobbs and Shaw.



Animated Favorites

Sometimes, all you need is an animated film to brighten up your mood and let your inner child out. Take your pick from some of these feel-good animated movies on UPSTREAM that you can enjoy with kids or by yourself: The Boss Baby: Family Business, Despicable Me, The Croods and Trolls.



Must-See Documentaries

Some real-life stories are meant to be told, and documentaries are a great way to do just that. In UPSTREAM, you can find a list of documentaries made from all over the world, tackling untold stories about some of the world’s most influential people. For your consideration: Elizabeth at 95: The Invincible Queen, Hawking: Can You Hear Me?, Final Account and Diana.

This year, more movies are headed straight to viewers, while even more TV series are jumping from cable channels to gadgets.

Crunchyroll

Here’s the latest streaming partnership shaking things up at Globe this year: the telecommunications giant has inked its deal with Crunchyroll, dubbed the “official source of anime and drama.” This gives Filipino anime fans a window into the largest anime library, where thousands upon thousands of new and classic titles from Japanese creators can be found. (Not to be discounted here, of course, are critically acclaimed Crunchyroll Originals.)

Netflix has become one of the top streamers in the Philippines: a go-to if you’re after a diverse library of series, blockbuster movies, reality shows, documentaries, and top-tier original programs. And Netflix isn’t through upping its game. In 2021 alone, it released over 70 original films, bringing big names like Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, and Timothee Chalamet to streaming.

Here, you not only get to help yourself to an archive of smash-hit dramas, variety shows, and movies; you also get to stream new episodes of in-demand series within just eight hours of their telecast.

Amazon Prime Video

In the same way Netflix has gone into film and series production, Amazon is here to give major film studios a run for their money. Signing up for a Prime Video account means gaining access to a knockout library of comedy, action, drama, sci-fi, horror and fantasy titles, plus way more.




With all the exciting titles premiering this year, we’ve obviously got a lot of streaming to do. Do it all with Globe Postpaid, where you can also discover and enjoy exciting, new apps and subscriptions. You just have to find the GPlan that’s perfect for you.
