Apple honours apps created by Vietnamese women

The list featured a total of 18 applications made by Vietnamese women or of Vietnamese origin, such as Elsa Speak founded and operated by Van Dinh Hong Vu, Piktina made by Nguyen Hoang Phuong, Fonos co-founded by Xuan Nguyen, Taptap created by Lan Doan, and dating app Fika made by Swedish-Vietnamese woman Tran Thanh Huong.

According to reliable sources, this marks one of Apple's activities aimed at increasing localised contents for the Vietnamese market ahead of International Women's Day.

This comes after Apple previously made a number of similar lists, such as a Vietnamese version of entertainment applications and contents about Vietnamese culture. All of them were put on the App Store’s "Today" section.
