Travel Hack : Make your travels easier with these five handy Apps
Whether
you are a keen traveller, or someone who takes the occasional trip, the
actual travel part can sometimes be the most dreaded part of the
experience. Thankfully, the phrase ‘there’s an app for that. . ‘ is not
only an advertising gimmick, but a reality that not only benefits
digitally savvy travellers, but anyone else planning or making a trip.
See below for our list of 5 handy apps that will make your travels
easier:
Tripit
The best
way to describe Tripit is that it is like having your own personal
travel agent in your pocket. The application is available for free on
both Android and iOS app stores and organises your trip using travel
information from your confirmation emails. Everything from flights,
hotels, rental cars, and even bookings for events are converted into a
handy single itinerary for your entire trip. Users simply forward their
confirmation emails to the app and it does the rest. Travel plans can
also be shared easily so the app is also ideal for co-ordinating group
travel as well.
Citymapper
Knowing
where you’re going and when is important, but so is knowing how to get
about when you get to your destination. This is where the brilliant
Citymapper comes in; the app is a comprehensive alternative to Google
Maps and is an easy to use travel tool. Citymapper provides details of
over 30 cities worldwide including such information as real time
departure times, disruptions, cycle routes and Uber integration.
Mobile Games
Not
only is the app store is full of games in every category, from
role-playing to brain training, most sites offer mobile versions of
their popular app games. By downloading the games of your choice before
travelling you’ll be able to have a back-up entertainment plan to keep
you occupied during delays or periods of waiting.
For those who enjoy the risker side of gaming there a whole load of online casino and bingo sites such as
www.bingosites.uk that offer mobile games, just always remember to pack your charging cable!
Duolingo
The wonders of technology have transformed most aspects of modern travel and the language barrier has not escaped attention.
Duolingo is one such attempt
and the language app is already used by over 70 million people
worldwide. The app is free, user friendly, and its computer game-like
levels and rewards are an easy way to pick up basic vocabulary and
grammar for any trips abroad.
Time Out
Time
Out is a great app that makes it easy to find events and things to do
wherever you are in the world. The app is a directory of everything from
bars and restaurants to attractions and concerts, some of which can
also be booked through the Time Out app.
The five handy app
suggestions above a good armoury to have on your smartphone to make
travelling easier, and its all thanks to the technology that our trips
can now be that little bit easier!
