Citymapper
Covering around 30 cities worldwide, this easy-to-use app provides detailed, real-time journey plans for public transport, walking, cycling, taxis, and of course, jet pack! It tells you how long your journey will be and even gives rain-free travel options. Don’t venture into a city without it.
Google Translate
Whilst Google Translate has been around for a while now, its camera tool isn’t so well known. It can help with quickly translating words around you into your native language - once in the app, simply hold up the camera over the foreign language words and you’ll see the translation. It’s great for restaurant menus and signs whilst you’re on the move.
Google Trips
This app makes it easier than ever to plan and organise your trips. Google Trips gathers your travel information from your inbox and sorts it automatically, making it available offline too. Not only that, but it will tell you what sights and restaurants are within walking distance, and will even automatically map out a half or full day of activity suggestions.
TripCase
With so much information to keep track of on trips away, particularly for business travellers, this app helps keep flight times, hotel address, client meeting details, and airport transfers in one place. Travellers can be notified directly of changes to flight times and receive up-to-date itinerary details, tools, and travel information before and during each trip. Simply log on to see your trip information.
Hopper
Hopper predicts prices and helps you book your flights and hotels at the right time, with 95% accuracy up to one year in advance. The app monitors prices for you, watches specific trips, sends notifications, and allows you to pay securely - saving you up to 40% in the process.
BAGBNB
Make the most of travelling without carrying your heavy luggage with you; choose a location from the network of businesses signed up, then drop-off and pick-up time at a time convenient to you. All businesses are verified to ensure luggage is safe, you can securely pay for your storage online, and if there’s a change of plans you can get in touch to reschedule pick-up.
