One of the sites where I always love to read and write for, Mumbaikar! No, am not from Mumbai but that’s not what you need to be to write there, or read the various scribbles written by others. I love the site, as it gives everything, every information you need about the busiest and buzzed up place of the country – Mumbai.

Opening the website and getting updated with the latest news of mumbai, the weather, the events and all, is not always possible. We have our busy lives, and not always have ourselves seated in front of the computer. We need something that can make life easier.. we have mobile phones, uhh yeah the iPhones!
And here is how Mumbaikar makes your life easy -

Mumbaikar.com comes to iPhone. A cool, compact version of the same blogs, directory, events and incidents to keep you updated on the go. Also featuring a powerful search, geotagged content, get your current location and see things around you, comment, rate, share and do more. Get it and get going.

Other things that the site has to say about the app -
