Aplicaciones
Qué instalar en su celular.
La vida diaria en Israel se maneja desde el celular: la sirena de Red Alert, el autobús, la caja de salud, la cita en el ministerio, dividir el alquiler, leer una carta en hebreo. Aquí está lo que conviene instalar (agrupado según para qué lo necesita) y dónde el inglés deja de funcionar sin avisar para que no le cueste una mañana.
Seguridad y emergencias
Instálelas antes de necesitarlas.Home Front Command
Real-time rocket and missile alerts for your exact location, with the safe-room instructions, even when you cannot hear the street siren.
Install this first and enable location and notifications. On Android the alert sounds even on silent; on iOS the device vibrates. Android: search com.alert.meserhadash on Google Play.
De Home Front Command, State of IsraelTzofar - Red Alert
A second, often faster alert feed for Red Alerts (Tzeva Adom), useful as a backup to the official app.
A backup, not a replacement. Keep the official Home Front Command app installed as your primary source.
De Tzofar (independent)
Desplazarse y vida diaria
El autobús, el tren, las compras, leer un cartel en hebreo.Moovit
freemiumWhich bus or train to take and when it actually arrives, in real time, anywhere in Israel.
Works fully in English. Free, with optional in-app ticket purchases.
De Moovit App GlobalRav-Kav Online
Top up your physical Rav-Kav transit card from your phone with a credit card, instead of queuing at a station kiosk.
Needs a physical Rav-Kav card, a credit card, and an NFC phone to load the card by tapping it. Do not confuse it with the separate "Rav-Kav by HopOn" app; this is the one tied to ravkavonline.co.il.
De PcentraHopOn Rav-Pass
Pay for any bus, train or light rail straight from your phone by QR scan, with no card to load first.
A credit or debit card is required. You pay per ride.
De HopOn MobilityWaze
The navigation app Israel actually drives with, Israeli-built, with live traffic and hazard reports.
De WazePango
freemiumPay for blue-and-white street parking by phone in almost every city, with the best English interface of the parking apps.
Needs your car registration number and a credit card; parking is billed with a small service fee. Install the Israeli listing, not the unrelated American "Pango Parking".
De Pango Pay and GoCello (formerly Cellopark)
freemiumThe main alternative to Pango for phone-paid street parking, with start and stop reminders.
Car registration and a credit card are required.
De Cello GroupWolt
freemiumRestaurant and grocery delivery in Israeli cities, fully usable in English from start to finish.
Foreign cards are generally accepted, so it works before your Israeli bank does.
De WoltYad2
Primero en hebreoThe one app almost everyone uses to find an apartment, a job, a used car or second-hand furniture. If you need to find or buy something in Israel, start here.
Hebrew-only, so run Google Translate’s camera or browser extension over it. Nefesh B’Nefesh publishes a field-by-field crib sheet at nbn.org.il/yad2 for the search form, and filtering for private listings skips broker fees.
De Yad2
Gobierno y documentos de identidad
Filas en los ministerios, citas y trámites oficiales.myVisit
Book the appointments every oleh dreads, at the Interior Ministry, banks and government offices, and track the queue from your phone.
An Israeli phone number is commonly needed for SMS confirmation. Worth knowing before you rely on it: the Israeli App Store rating sits around 1.8 out of 5.
De Q-nomyGoVisit
The Population and Immigration Authority’s own booking portal for biometric ID and passport appointments.
An English version exists at en.govisit.co.il. Which system a given office uses, GoVisit or myVisit, depends on the office, so check both.
De Population and Immigration AuthorityMyGov
Download digitally signed government documents (your ID appendix, vehicle licence), change your registered address and pay government fees, all under one gov.il login.
Needs your teudat zehut and gov.il identity verification. The store lists English, but the app content is Hebrew-first.
De Government of Israel
Cajas de salud y atención médica
Su kupah, citas y recetas.Maccabi
Book appointments, see lab results, request prescriptions and manage your family’s care at Maccabi.
Needs Maccabi membership and your teudat zehut to register. The store lists English, but reviews report it runs Hebrew-first in practice, so expect heavy Hebrew.
De Maccabi Healthcare ServicesClalit
Primero en hebreoAppointments, test results, telemedicine and pharmacy stock for Israel’s largest health fund.
Needs Clalit membership and your teudat zehut. Expect a Hebrew-first experience; the separate Clalit NEXT telehealth app advertises Hebrew, English and Arabic.
De Clalit Health ServicesMeuhedet
Appointments, online doctor visits with digital prescriptions, records and results for Meuhedet members.
Needs Meuhedet membership and your teudat zehut.
De MeuhedetLeumit
Appointments, lab results, messaging your doctor and reimbursement claims for Leumit members.
Needs Leumit membership and your teudat zehut. The listing shows English and the description is bilingual.
De Leumit Health Services
Dinero y pagos
Dividir el alquiler, pagarle a un amigo, operaciones bancarias cotidianas.Bit
Israel’s default way to send money to a person: split rent, pay the gan group, get paid back. "Just Bit me" is standard here.
The real barrier: it requires an Israeli-issued payment card and an Israeli phone number, so it is one of the first things that unlocks only after your bank account exists.
De Bank HapoalimPayBox
Primero en hebreoThe other big person-to-person payment app, strongest for group collections: class gifts, event pots, shared presents.
Two barriers: the interface is Hebrew only, and it needs an Israeli payment card.
De PayBoxCHP
Primero en hebreoCompares your supermarket basket across every major chain near you, because chains must publish prices by law. The literal "don’t be a sucker" tool.
Hebrew-only interface, so a non-Hebrew reader will need help or a translation app alongside it.
De CHP
Trabajo y cobros
Buscar trabajo y trabajar como independiente.AllJobs
Primero en hebreoIsrael’s single largest job database, over 30,000 open positions, with alerts and application tracking.
Predominantly Hebrew listings, and a Hebrew CV is usually expected.
De AllJobsDrushim
Primero en hebreoA major Israeli job search engine with swipe-style search by title, company and location.
Hebrew-first, and a Hebrew CV is usually expected.
De Drushimlevels.fyi
freemiumReal, crowdsourced Israeli tech salaries in shekels before you negotiate, with dedicated Tel Aviv and Israel pages.
Global and heavily tech-skewed, so it is useful for tech roles and little help for anything else.
De levels.fyi
Hebreo y traducción
Aprenderlo y leerlo antes de haberlo aprendido.Google Translate
Point your camera at a Hebrew letter from the bank or the iriya and read it in English, or download Hebrew for offline translation with no signal.
The camera mode is the one to learn first: hold it over a Bituach Leumi letter, an arnona bill, a lease or a street sign and it overlays the English live. Download the Hebrew pack for offline use. On a computer, install the Google Translate browser extension to turn any Hebrew government website into English in one click.
De GoogleDuolingo (Hebrew)
freemiumFree daily Hebrew practice, genuinely useful for the alphabet and basics before or alongside ulpan.
Honest limit: it will not get you to conversation speed on its own, and it is a complement to ulpan, not a replacement.
De DuolingoPealim
The verb-conjugation reference every Hebrew learner ends up using: 9,000+ words with full tables, in an English interface.
De Pealim
Comunidad y vínculos
Encontrar a su gente y sus lugares.Sefaria
