If you’ve ever traveled or even just thought about booking a trip, you know all about apps that can help you find flights and hotels. But did you know that there are tons of other apps out there that can make your travels even better? Apps to help with money, translating, and even apps to find a bathroom!
Read on to learn about five essential apps for travelers.
When you travel to a foreign country, it's important to keep track of exchange rates to ensure you're getting the best value for your money. XE Currency is a handy app that provides up-to-date exchange rates for virtually every currency in the world. You can use it to convert prices, compare rates between different currencies, and set alerts to notify you when a particular currency reaches a certain value.
If you're traveling to a country where you don't speak the language, Google Translate can be a lifesaver. This app allows you to translate text and speech between dozens of languages, making it easier to communicate with locals and navigate your way around unfamiliar places. You can even use it to translate text in real time using your phone's camera, which can come in handy when reading signs and menus. You can also have someone speak into it and it will translate what they’re saying for you. An absolute must-have.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. But when you're on the road, finding a clean and accessible restroom can be a challenge. Flush is a useful app that allows you to find nearby public restrooms, complete with user reviews and ratings. You can even filter your search by criteria, such as "handicap-accessible" and "baby changing station" to find the perfect restroom for your needs. No more squat-and-hover. Find a clean bathroom with this app and wonder how you ever lived without it!
Packing can be a stressful experience, but PackPoint can help you streamline the process. This app allows you to create packing lists based on the length of your trip, the activities you have planned, and the weather at your destination. It even lets you customize your list with your own items, making sure you never forget anything important… you know, like your passport. This app is a total lifesaver and will stop you from packing all that junk you don’t need!
We’ve all done it – wandered around looking for that ‘free Wi-Fi’ sign in café windows, hoping to get connected. No more wandering for us, though, because we have the answer. WiFi Map can help you find free Wi-Fi hotspots all around the world. This app allows you to search for available Wi-Fi networks in your area, complete with passwords and user ratings. You can even save maps offline to access later when you don't have an internet connection.
There really is an app for everything these days, right? Whether you're trying to find a clean restroom, translate foreign languages, or stay connected to the internet, there's an app out there to help you do it. Travel should be fun and relaxing. No one wants to spend their vacay hunting for clean bathrooms or trying to figure out how to say, “Two wines, please,” in Japanese.
So, why not download a few (or all!) of these apps and make your next trip a little bit easier and more enjoyable? You’ll thank us later.
