Entertainment apps

When it comes to some of the top entertaining mobile apps, Tiktok is always on the list especially within the last few months when it started to become so popular among younger users. TikTok is both social media and an entertainment app, thanks to the app's variety of features for creating content and to its millions of users worldwide who create posts that offer a lot of fun. 

For those who love to sing, WeSing is the app. It is a karaoke app with millions of songs in its list and it's a free to download and use. You can record a video of you singing your favorite song or even a duet video with your friends and share it on the platform or to your social media app like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. 

With Kumu, apart from being able to meet new Filipino friends from around the world and interact with them, you can also earn money as you use this app. According to its page description, Kumu is a Pinoy community platform where users can get paid by becoming a livestreamer, win cash prizes by playing games, and make money by participating in various promotions run on Kumu. 

Now if you love watching shows from ABS CBN and GMA Network, you can check out iWant and GMA Network apps from the AppGallery. You can also watch previously-aired programs from the networks. iFlix is also now downloadable from the AppGallery as well as the VIU.

If you are into mobile gaming, there are also a ton of selections available on the AppGallery. There is the crowd-favorites like Asphalt 9: Legends, Naruto: Slugfest, Rise of Kingdoms, and Plants vs Zombies to name a few. 

For book lovers, the Huawei MatePad has an eBook mode perfect for reading, well, ebooks. One of the popular ebook reader apps you can download from the AppGallery is called ReadEra. And did you know that WattPad now also available on the AppGallery? 

If you have kids at home and you would like them to learn English while using this tablet, you can try the LingoKids app. It is a fun-filled and exciting learning app that kids will definitely love. The LingoKids app will teach your children numbers, shapes, colors, alphabet, animals and more. 

For adults, they can try the English Grammar app to improve their English grammar even further which is also available from the AppGallery. 

These are just some of my recommendations but there are a ton more apps available on the Huawei AppGallery and the selection just keeps on growing by the day with more and more top and popular apps becoming available in Huawei's own app marketplace. Now if you can't find the app that you need or looking for, don't worry as Huawei's new Petal Search app will help you find the best place to download them whether it's from the app's official website, third-party app marketplace such as APKPure or even from the AppGallery itself. 

By default, the Huawei Petal Search is not pre-installed on the Huawei MatePad, don't know why. But you can search it on the AppGallery and download it from there. Petal Search is also available for Huawei smartphones. 

For me, two of my most used apps are YouTube and Netflix. While both of the apps are currently not available yet on the AppGallery, through Petal Search, I am able to access and use YouTube like I normally would through the browser and save a bookmark to the home screen. Then as for Netflix and even Facebook, Petal Search directed me to download it from APKPure and the Facebook app from its website.
