Moving to a new country is hard when you don't speak the local language. Towner is a free mobile app that brings foreigners together in communities organized by their country of origin and their language. Whether you are a Vietnamese living in Korea, a Chinese living in Japan, or any other community, Towner gives you a place to ask questions, find housing, share local tips, buy and sell, and meet people who understand exactly what you are going through — all in your own language. Towner is available worldwide on iOS and Android.
