Favorite Phone Apps for traveling

What are you favorite phone apps that you use when traveling?

Viber is the best one I've found as let's great call rates to non subscribers plus free for members

Second is map my ride. Which will monitor where I go and what I've fine

Great for walking ports and using up those calories the ship brings

flightaware is one I use frequently. Lets me track flights of friends. You can look back a few days and also check out historical departure and arrival times along with expected gate arrival and departure.

I've used these apps and found them very helpful...

Free Wi-Fi Finder -- So I can find hotspots world wide (even offline).

Find Near Me -- Maps ATMs, restaurants, hotels, doctor's offices, pharmacy, etc.

Spotted By Locals -- Over fifty cities around the world, with information from people who know the low down. Can be accessed offline.

Trip Advisor. Many cities have downloadable info.

CHP traffic. Because driving California freeways is an adventure in itself:)

......I love using that little switch to TURN IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!......I'm on vacation.....;)

TripIt Pro: keeps track of my tickets, reservations all in one place. Keeps track of any updates, flight changes… I can have my ICE people just access this info so they know where I am at any time on my trip.

Google Translate: I can always be polite and say "please", "thank you" "where is the restroom" in the local language ;) It's also good for figuring out what a sign says.

App Box Pro: has just about every little "thing" I can need - a good calculator, currency converter, measurement converter, tip calculator, flashlight, mirror, Google apps…

Yelp - if I need to find a place to eat quickly.

Parla's Rome - my favorite guide for anything food-related in Rome

Delta's app - a must when flying Delta anywhere

my credit union's app - access to my money wherever, whenever.

AMEX - access to my accounts to know what is going on them, instant reporting if my card is lost/stolen…

Apple's Maps (came with iPad Mini) or Google Maps - a MUST. find walking routes, find driving routes, GPS to use when driving…

If I am driving and need gas, then Gas Buddy app is excellent. Lets you know location and gas prices of nearest stations to your location, and maps them for you. Really handy.

We use skyep ..

I just started using Trover. Fun way to find things you may want to see in any given location.

• the compass (not actually an app, but a part of my iPhone)
  
• Google maps
  
• XE currency converter
  
• Time Tape (like having multiple international clocks so you know time in different places)
  
• Flig******* (TRACKS FLIGHTS in flight)
  
• On The Fly (ITA Matrix of available flights)
  
• Trip Advisor (and Trip Advisor City Guides)
  
• Seat Guru
  
• Travel Nerd (maps of many airports)
  
• various translation apps
  
• various specific apps for the location I'm going to, especially maps of local transit or DK Top 10 attractions)
  

I LOVE LOVE LOVE SKY WALK (on my iPad) a must for cruisers,,,

Flashlight

Rome2Rio maps a trip with alternative ways to travel, including metro and bus lines!

U pack it.. It's an app to help you pack. Love it!

Word Lens. No data connection needed and language packs are free now.

Wow! Very cool app. Thanks for the recommendation!

Word lens works so-so in my limited experience but I think it might help you make reasonable guesses about words you don't recognize. Block fonts (e.g., signs) work better than weird fonts (e.g., menus).

Haven't used it out of the country, but when in other cities here at home, 4Square. We pretty much always get some good deals and perks when using it.

GPSmycity

They have both free walking tours themed for sights, shopping, restaurants etc, and a purchasable version to customize your walks.

I've saved money on self-guided tours on 4 continents.

GoodReader, we use it copy copy everything we can think of, maps, confirmations, descriptions etc.

Another vote for Tripit. I just have the free version, and it's great! I'm thinking hard about getting Tripit pro.
