Travel Apps? Lay them on me!

I started using TripIt for my 2 upcoming trips. I like it so far.

Tripit user for years. It’s terrific. Google translate. Units Plus. CityMaps2Go. I’ll be watching this thread for other ideas. By the way Hank…great pun!

Metric Conversions (does what’s on the label)

Xe: ForEx calculations

Kim from Paris talked me in to Citymapper and I liked it a lot. Very easy to use for walking and public transit in Paris and Amsterdam.

Museum apps - often you can buy your ticket within the app as well as having museum floor plans, some have better info on artwork than others (Louvre is pathetic, Rijksmuseum and Mauritshuis excellent).

All airline and airport apps for your trip

Rick’s RS Europe app if I’m going to use his walking or museum tours

Taxi app - I used it a bit in Paris the last 2 times and downloaded one for Rome for my upcoming trip. I’m not much of a taxi user but it’s handy sometimes.

I have a yoga app that I can download practices to and don’t have to depend on hotel wifi to stream a workout.

Pam I dig the yoga app suggestion. Since way back, my wife and I often start a yoga or workout app appropriate for hotel rooms at the beginning of our trip.

I think I need to try Tripit? What does it do?

City Mapper. Fabulous public transit App. Works in most major cities

Polarsteps: unique way to record your journey.

Bank App - obviously.

Apple Wallet - to store CCs, DCs, Boarding Passes, and Airline FF Cards.

Numbers App - for 1 spreadsheet I use for travel.

Airline Apps and Train Apps - which I only use to dump Boarding Passes to Apple Wallet.

Documents App - where I store .pdf copies of airline tickets, train tickets, and hotel confirmations.

Skype App - worldwide calling with Skype minutes

Google Translate App - although I'm not sure I've ever used it while actually on the holiday.

Scanner Pro App - to scan hotel receipts (if the hotel can't email the receipt) - I then pitch the hard copies in the garbage.
.
I don't travel with hard copies of anything travel related i.e. tickets and the like - it's all stored digitally on my phone and tablet and can easily be downoaded again, if needed, from the pertinent website.

I use everything that periscope mentioned. Google translate has been invaluable. Paperless is definitely the way to go.

Also WhatsApp is quite handy.

WhatsApp
Google Translate
Google Maps
DayOne (or another journaling/photo taking app)
Flush (public toilet finder)
Google Trips
Kindle (for travel guidebooks - I also bring my Kindle e-reader)
DB navigator (German train app but has train schedules for every city in Europe)
OpenTable (mostly US but I have found lots of European restaurants, too)

Hank, TripIt is sort of an itinerary app. It will receive emails about travel (i.e., hotel and train reservations, flight info) and create an itinerary for you that you can amend to. Here's a link to their website that should give you an idea. It's really a nice app - I use it.

NYT Crossword + Webster's New World College Dictionary + Webster's New World Roget's A-Z Thesaurus

Definitely Citymapper and Google Maps.
Google Translate: you can get phrases in advance and save them for when needed.
Always have the apps for any airline you are taking, particularly nowadays.
Also the apps for any airport you are passing through.
Apps for trains or buses you plan to take on your trip, some have realtime scheduling, especially local buses.
AirBnB and Booking.com, in case you need to find accommodation in an emergency.
A flight tracking app....I like FlightView.
Your Kindle app for books, or one from your local library for books.
Podcast app.
Google Photos.
Netflix if you have it....download some things to watch offline.
Skype.
WhatsApp.
TripAdvisor.

I’m sure there are many more!
