Smartphones really have opened up a new world for us as far as travel is concerned. As long as there's a signal, you can access information that you wouldn't have been able to access a decade ago. So, when you take your smartphone while you're on the road, what apps do you need? With so many apps on the market, it could be overwhelming trying to make a choice.
Splittr
Traveling around with friends? For you Splittr is the app. This app splits your commuting costs and bills between different entities and keeps track of who paid what for you. It will also convert the currency so that you don't have to do any mental acrobatics when breaking a bill into another currency.
Google Translate
Whether you're more of a fan of Google, you should stick with Google Translate to understand your needs for flying. As with the regular design of Google, the software is easy to use and removes any learning curve that could have influenced you. This app is very helpful with signs, allowing you to hold your camera to a sign and it will read the sign for you, making it look like you're reading the sign in reality.
Speak & Translate
If you're going to another country and don't speak the language, a translation app is really required. It is important to be able to understand what people are saying, but also to be able to ask for help and to read signs. It is much more difficult to move to a place that uses a different alphabet so getting something handy that can help you out can take away a lot of tension.
Packpoint
Essentially, this app is a computer organiser. This will build a packing list for you and make sure you pack everything you need before you set off for your next adventure. The app also monitors the weather to keep you running on time, as well as your daily schedule. The app will ask what you're doing and will let you know which things you need to pack depending on what you're doing.
Uber
Uber is not accessible anywhere, so this app will only function in cities where it's accessible. Uber is much like a taxi, but with frequent drivers who are not really experienced drivers. The fares are typically better than the taxis, so you can get where you need to go when you need to get there.
Hotel Tonight
This is a helpful feature you need if you don't know where you're going to stay for the night. The app is searching for last minute offers and will find available hotels where you need them. There's always a fantastic customer service around the clock if you're in a bind. If you have a layout between flights, this app is especially useful.
XE Currency
This is the best place you can go to to convert your currency. It's very frustrating trying to mentally quantify how much currency you need when you're on the road. And when you look at the exchange rate, you're so used to living in your home currency that actual value can be hard to understand. Using a currency app will help keep things transparent so that you can grasp the currency variations.
Citymapper
Citymapper works better than any other travel planning software as it helps you to schedule your journeys, including flights, tours, and any other travel details you'd like to keep track of.
