Must have Apps for Travellers


If you are a frequent traveller, then you must know that apart from the directions and tourist attraction locations, there are a lot of other things that confuse an individual who isn’t from the same region and doesn’t speak the same language. Luckily, with the advent and development of new and improved traveling apps, you will find that there are many problems that you will easily be able to tackle if you just have a couple of these apps handy.

Now even though there will be close to a thousand apps on both the platforms of iOS as well as Android, there are some which are the most popular, and I will be discussing those with you today.

Triposo
One great thing about this app is that it is absolutely free and that it is on both of the platforms. This means that it doesn’t matter if you are using an iPad, and iPhone or an Android phone, this app will be available to you for free in their individual markets. People who have used this app say that it is accurate, to the point and perfect for mobiles. Because this app has been developed by two ex-Googlers, it has open access to more than 8,00 destinations worldwide and gets its updated information from websites such as openstreetmap and Wikitravel. Some more good news about the app is that it doesn’t require an active internet connection and has much needed features such as a currency converter, a phrase book and also suggestions on where you should travel according the weather and time of day.

Triplt
This app is exclusively for those who have either an iphone or an iPad, sadly, this travelling app hasn’t yet been seen on Android. Nevertheless, this app is free and in general will help you keep track of the trips that you are taken or have taken. This app saves all your itineraries in a easy to scan format on your smart phone which will help you for your future ventures. All you need to do is to email all your important information such as flight details, room and accommodation details etc to the app and will organize everything for you. This means that you won’t have to worry about carrying the bulky folder around with you at all times.

Urbanspoon
Another app which is available on both android and iOS platforms is the very traditional urbanspoon. How is it traditional? Well, the reason why I call this particular app traditional is because it is a simple app which will scan your area and tell you about the nearest restaurants, bars, cafes or other entertainment places. With urbanspoon, you can also search your locations according to the type, the price as well as the ratings that they have achieved. Although Urbanspoon is ideal for London and its parts, it supports many other cities as well. So there you go these were only some of the traveler’s apps that can be helpful for you no matter where you are in the world. So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and get going on that adventure you have been planning forever.
