When we go on a trip, there is definitely a list of things we don’t go without. First we pack a passport, a bank card and of course a mobile phone, which can be a great tool when planning a trip. Nowadays, there are many travel apps that make it easier for us to plan a trip. Finding good apps is time consuming, and most of them aren’t exactly useful. We have already tried many mobile applications, but only a few have proven useful. Here is our list of 15+ useful travel apps to make our travels easier.
Skyscanner
Skyscanner is a fairly popular app that allows you to quickly find airline tickets from all airline providers around the world. Using the application is quick and easy to use, and with its help we can quickly find the appropriate airline tickets. One of the most useful functions is to enter the departure airport and destination in the search engine, and with the help of a color calendar and graphic display we can see how air ticket prices are moving and on which dates tickets are more favorable. If you already have a travel date selected, you can set a reminder for a specific date in the app, which will notify you of any price changes with a notification.
Maps.me
We use the Google Maps or Maps.me application for navigation. We recommend the last one especially in moments when the mobile signal runs out or in case we do not have mobile data. Before leaving for the trip, you need to download the maps of the desired destination to your phone. You can also use the navigation while cycling, driving and walking.
