It’s hard to imagine a world without mobile apps – they’re excellent sources of support for the busy consumer.
And if there’s one aspect of life they’ve really improved, it’s travel – there’s now an app for just about every stage of your journey.
With that in mind, here are five of the most fantastic apps for travel.
- Trip Case
Trip Case is an awesome travel planning app that lets you organise all of your trip details and plans into a single itinerary.
This clever app even sends you flight notifications whilst you’re at the airport and has seat maps so you can easily park your posterior in the cabin.
Furthermore, when you arrive at your destination, the app gives you the option to book an Uber and provides directions to your accommodation.
Travel tip: When it comes to activities, avoid overfilling your travel itinerary by focusing on quality rather than quantity.
- All Trails
The AllTrails app is the ultimate companion for lovers of the outdoors – it’s home to more than 100,000 trails for hikers, bikers and runners.
This awesome app has GPS tracking so you can follow your route on screen and avoid getting lost. Plus, it has a fantastic range of filters too, including ones for dog and kid friendliness – pretty awesome right?
Travel tip: If you invest in water filter products from LifeStraw you’ll be able to drink from pretty much any water source whilst on your trails.
- Guides by lonely Planet
The Guides by Lonely Planet app is your go-to place for travel tips and advice – it’s packed full of place guides for more than 8,000 cities.
As well as this, it also has audio phrase books, a currency converter and city maps, all of which can be accessed offline, thereby making it an essential app for travellers.
Travel tip: Research you destination in advance, so you can get off to a quick start once you arrive.
- Google Maps
Navigation app Google Maps is a must-have when your travelling. It has real-time traffic and public transport updates to help you plan you route like a pro.
Some of the best features include the must-try recommendation lists created by local experts and the shortlist function which allows you to share prospective activities with your group and vote on them.
