Ask HN: What apps/services/software do you miss from your home country?

Posted by adam_gyroscope on Monday December 11, 2017 @04:08PM
from the ask-hn dept.

If you've lived outside the US, what app, software or service did you use in that country that doesn't exist in the US?

And, if you lived in the US but now live elsewhere, same question.

Socialized medicine is a government service, I guess. I miss that.

Banking. In the EU I can just ask someone for her account number, input that in my bank account app, and the money would be in her account in an instant. Same with for example cash register payments. They would show in my banking app immediately, even if I was in another country. Also online banking apps are much simpler. Just account, payment, date, description and a contact list.

Chase bank app: Take a picture of a cheque received and the money is credited to your account instantly.
