The Best 5 Apps For Travel
While there are over 2 millions apps to choose from, there are a few favorites that help make traveling a bit easier. And so we give you what we believe are the best 5 apps for travel.
Maps.me
Paper maps have somewhat become a thing of the past and now the average person relies on their phone for directions. However, most people don't have phone data while out of the country. Maps.me is an offline map and navigation app that allows you to download city and country maps onto your phone and access them when you are no longer connected to wifi. The app offers offline turn-by-turn directions, offline search, and custom bookmarks.
Uber
Uber is a ridesharing app and is available in over 60 countries and 400 cities across the world. It's an app that you may use at home, but you shouldn't forget about it while traveling. Use this app and know you are getting an honest price and a reliable ride without having to flag down a taxi.
Whatsapp is a messenger app that allows you to message and call others while on wifi. It can be especially useful to get in contact with restaurants, hotels, and other businesses while traveling, in addition to your family and friends back home. Be sure to download the app before you leave the country, as you need to receive a text message to register your phone number.
My Currency Converter
Dealing with other currencies can be a headache but this app makes it easy to convert between different currencies. It also works offline, so you can still use it even when you aren't connected to wifi or phone data.
Trip Advisor
Many people have a love-hate relationship with Trip Advisor, but the app can come in extremely handy while traveling. The Trip Advisor app is great for looking up nearby restaurants and attractions, reading reviews, and viewing pictures. If you visit the Trip Advisor mobile website it will usually re-direct you to the app regardless.
