5 Essential Must-Have Travel Apps
Have you ever been in a new city without a guide, trying to navigate, find the best restaurants, and figure out the currency?
We all get caught up in it sometimes.
Thanks to travel apps, you have an assistant at your fingertips. There is now an app for everything, from hotel bookings to travel planning to navigation.
If you’re planning your next holiday, here’s a list of five essential apps you must have.
Google Maps
While Google Maps aren’t 100% accurate, you can still trust them to get you where you need to go. The app works well in cities, but be cautious when visiting remote areas, especially if you aren’t sure about the internet connection. The good news is that you can download maps ahead of time and access them offline. Keep in mind that the app works best when your GPS is turned on.
XE Currency Converter
The concept of currency can sometimes be confusing, especially when travelling to a new country. With this app, you can check currency rates and convert currencies quickly. The XE Currency Converter also lets you view and keep the rates offline. So the next time you bargain, you’ll at least know what you’re bargaining for and get the best deal.
Transport Apps
There is no doubt that Uber is the most popular and common transport app in the world. There are, however, other apps that are used locally in different countries. Take time to research and learn which transport apps are popular with the locals.
Weather Apps
You don’t want to plan a holiday only to have bad weather ruin it. Many weather apps are available in the market today, including Carrot Weather, AccuWeather, and other default weather apps available on your mobile phones. Use an app that will provide you with extended and smart weather forecasts, alerts, and other important information.
TripAdvisor
If you are wondering where to go in your new location, TripAdvisor will provide you with reviews, recommendations, and photos of places you should consider visiting… from the best destinations to restaurants.
So, before you head out to your next destination, have these apps in your arsenal and get the most out of your trip. After all, the listed apps are free to download.
