Daryn, 13: I’ve got a smartphone, but I don’t spend much time online and I don’t use many apps. I don’t play online games and I don’t even send emails! My favourite app is iTys. It’s Kazakhstan’s first national messenger app. I use it to send messages and to chat with my friends. iTys is the only messenger app that has got all the letters of the Kazakh alphabet! It’s got some great emojis, I like them. Lena, 15: I’ve got a smartphone. I want to buy a tablet, too. I’ve got a little money, but it’s not enough. On my phone, I’ve got a dictionary app and four other apps for learning languages. I speak English, Russian and French. At the moment I’m learning Kazakh. I use the dictionary app a few times every day and it’s good, but in my opinion the best app is Soyle. The lessons are interesting, and it’s free!

Iskander, 14: Both my parents have got tablets and they sometimes allow me to use them. My mum has got apps for everything, from sending messages to watching videos. There are fewer apps on my dad’s tablet. He spends less time online. He’s got a very good travel app though. It’s called ‘Kazakhstan: Land of the Great Steppe.’ There are beautiful photos and a lot of interesting facts about different places in Kazakhstan.
