GetUpps! - application store for MegaFon subscribers / MegaFon Blog

Smartphones and tablets are already used in almost every field of activity. In addition to making calls on the way to work, sending SMS to a loved one who is still basking in bed: “Today it's warmer, get up, great weather” , we can take some photos of funny snowmen in the yard and share them with friends. Then, checking the mail and reading the news, we will plunge into daily worries. Returning home in the evening, we will read a fairy tale to children or turn on a filmstrip for them. And to start a new day early, set an alarm.

All this and not only many of us do on our mobile devices, which are no longer just phones, after the advent of an incredible number of mobile applications.

Habrahabr users are among the first to know about all the new products. Therefore, today we want to introduce you to the application store for devices based on Android, created by MegaLabs in partnership with Yandex, for MegaFon subscribers.
