Mobile apps that make traveling easier
There are thousands of travel tips, but let’s face it, no one’s phone ever has enough room to fit all of these applications on their phone. However, with this article, we are going to introduce you to some of the most important applications that can be a great help when travelling.
It’s convenient to create a special travel folder on your phone’s home page, which gathers all these recommended apps. That way, you can find them all at the click of a button.
Google Maps
Of course, Google Maps is the first on this list. There you can download destinations, so you don’t have to worry about data roaming. Google has covered the world with its pretty accurate map. Over 220 countries and territories and millions of local places to spend quality time. It shows you nearby cafes, theatres, landmarks, and guides you to bus and metro, also shows you the most reasonable routes.
Airbnb
Airbnb is a good alternative to hotels. An apartment with a kitchen is more wallet-friendly and much more personal. As in addition to a more reasonable price, guests can communicate directly with their host through Airbnb and get recommendations on where to go in a foreign city. Another feature of the Airbnb app is that it offers a variety of accommodation options, from a mattress in someone’s living room to luxurious private villas. Airbnb is a great accommodation option for small groups.
Uber
Uber is a secure taxi service that drives you from point A to point B with visible GPS so that you can keep an eye on the trajectory yourself. The price of Uber remains more or less the same as the local taxi service, sometimes even lower.
Like a local
Like a local is an app that helps you discover those places that are mostly unknown to tourists and where the local people like to go.

Trabee Pocket
To get the most accurate overview of your spending, we recommend installing the Trabee Pocket mobile wallet. You will probably set a budget before your trip, but life, especially another spontaneous trip, is full of unexpected expenses, and it is impossible to predict everything. You can enter invoices in the local currency in the Trabee Pocket app, and you will see their value in euros. You can also keep track of all your expenses by day and by category.
XE Currency
Travelling around Europe has been made quite comfortable for us, as most people use the euro everywhere. Our continent has countries ranging from the Scandinavian countries and Great Britain to several Central European countries where it is preferred to remain true to their national currency. What’s more, the picture is further afield, where one has to navigate with the various Asian dollars. By converting your currency into Euro using XE Currency, you will immediately see whether the exotic souvenir offered on the local market seems to be reasonably priced.
Prey
Prey is an application that lets you track your phone, tablet or laptop. If your device gets stolen, you can take control of your device by logging in with your username on Prey’s website: position, turn on the imaging feature (the phone takes a picture of a theft when he or she starts using the phone) and make the phone ring if it has been stolen near you (for example, in a cafe, on a bus, on a ship).
PackPoint
PackPoint will remind you of things to pack along the way. When you let the app know you’re going for a hike or a festive dinner, PackPoint keeps a list of things you might need.
