Travel Apps for I-Pod

I just used the foreign language translator app called Jibbigo. It works off-line and I downloaded the Spanish one for a trip to Guatemala last month. It was great. Voice translator was not good, but I just typed in what I wanted to translate. Much easier than a phrase book.
It was about $5 per language and I will do additional languages as I go to other countries.

Paris2Go, Paris Metro Subway, TripIt, FlightAware, FlightTrackPro, Urbanspoon, Currency, Airbnb, Google
Translate, Weather Pro, Skype, WiFi Finder, SitorSquat, and Flashlight. Most are free.

Donna, The iPod Touch is a very useful travel accessory. I've used one for the past few years, but will probably be packing along an iPhone this year (with the same Apps). A few App's that I find useful..... > fX Change (Currency Conversions) > WordRoll French (Dictionary) > Paris Metro > Jibbigo French > Rick Steves Orsay (or other) Walking Tours (although Orsay may not be completely accurate since the renovations) > Kindle RS Guidebooks or SnapShot Guides > Best Travel (Maps that work off-line) > Docs To Go (trip files in Word, Excel or PDF format) Some of the above Apps are free, others have a small cost. Happy travels!

The iPod touch has been a huge help in traveling. I downloaded some TV and films for the flights and they were lifesavers. There are free white noise generator apps, which help with jet lag. There are also a variety of PDF readers, which have really reduced the amount of paper I take with me (eg, background notes on various sites). I also take along a tiny speaker... feeling a little lonely at the end of a long trip, it was such a comfort to listen to favorite music.

(going through my iTouch...not sure what - if any - came pre-installed...) Google Maps, Notes, Calendar, banking apps, The Weather Channel, USA Today/CNN/BBC/other news apps, I Heart Radio (neat to listen to my home station in Rome!), Pandora, Stanza/Kindle/Nook/iBooks, Wikipanion, Rick Steves' Audio Europe (LOTS of great stuff here - listen to it before a trip, or anytime), Lonely Planet 'location apps' (got 'em for free one weekend!), Amazon (purchase last-minute items/guidebooks!), airline apps, calculator, YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, ESPN Sports Center (gotta keep up with the scores!), Skype, games...gotta have my backgammon for killing time. Thanks, Everybody, for your lists; I'm playing with my iTouch right now...adding apps! AND VERY USEFUL: to make a 'screen capture', you press and hold down the 'on/off' button at the top of the iTouch then press the button at the bottom of the screen. Youll hear a 'click', then that screen is now captured forever in your 'Photos'! Great for your airline reservation email, copying a page from a book with descriptions about those mosaics you're currently looking at, metro maps, lists of business hours, anything you might need but can't depend on having wi-fi when you need it ;-(

I just downloaded one called Tourist Eye (and pd 1.99 for the upgrade)....now, if I can get it to download my trip, which is still glitchy, I think it'll be great, as you can put in your cities and dates, and what you want to see on a given day, and it is (Supposed to) map it and let you use it offline. I did send an email to cust service on Sun about not being able to download, and no reply, but if I can get it done, I think it'll be useful...''trip it'' is also nice for keeping track of hotel bookings and tickets and such.

Question: For those with "Paris Metro", one of its 2 (yes, 2) reviews said to get "Metro Paris Subway" (99 cents) instead; that app has 206 reviews, and they're good reviews. Thoughts?

Eileen, I hadn't noticed that there were two App's with very similar names. Just to clarify, the App I'm using is shown as "Paris Metro" on my iPhone, but shown as "Metro Paris Subway" on the App Store website. The publisher is Presselite. It's been excellent so far, and I even use it during trip planning. I suppose I should submit a review (never seem to have time). I don't know what the cost is, as my computer just shows "Downloaded". Cheers!

Thanks for all the great ideas! Looks like this will be a handy tool for my trip!
