The application is designed to pay for rest areas at different airports around the world, having familiarized yourself with the list of services offered in advance.

We fill the smartphone’s memory with the most suitable travel tools that can “make” any trip!

Irina became depressed at work. I took out my phone. I looked into one application - oh, Beyoncé’s concert in France! I went to another one - hmm, a plane ticket to Nice for 4,000 rubles. I moved to the third - wow, a forgotten bonus of $37 for an apartment. Three clicks and your vacation plan is ready.

And so Irina, in whose head after such fortune the “Who ran the world?” stuck. (girls apps), the idea arose to write an article about which applications help you travel around the world on a budget and without problems in the spirit - it’s all about France, and you need to find out the bus number to the airport. After all, this is not her first vacation “on her knees” :)

Have you got your megabytes ready?

1. Search for tours online

For what? To fish Spain/Thailand/whatever at the lowest prices

To plan your trips, you don’t have to bother with each segment (tickets, accommodation, transfers). Manipulations can be simplified to one action - purchasing a tour.

Smart search for tours online

Developing the ability to book tours cheaply requires a couple of conditions. First, determine the optimal departure date based on the price calendar. Secondly, check the nearest airports; perhaps it makes sense to fly not from Kazan, but from Samara. Thirdly, read the article about 10 purchasing rules, and only then use the tour app :)

2. Search for hotels

For what? To find accommodation cheaper than on Booking

Yes, yes, there are at least 15 more hotel booking systems, and each with its own discount offers. A polar bear from RoomGuru. From the user - input data, and the search engine itself will figure out what it costs and until what date and display suitable sites in order of increasing price tag.

Travel applications for finding hotels and apartments are not limited to those mentioned above. There are also Hotellook, Hotels.com, Hotel Tonight, CouchSurfing (free accommodation).

3. Search for air tickets

For what? To be the first to buy tickets while others go to the computer

Cheap air tickets, unfortunately, are running out quickly. Especially if they appeared in the mailing list, like, for example, in our telegram channel. Therefore, having a smart aggregator (searching prices for several companies) at hand is a must. Which one? Choose either, both - best apps in its own way:

• Skyscanner(download: for iPhone; for Android), the advantage is a cool “everywhere” option, showing where it’s cheapest to fly from a certain city/country
• Aviasales(download: for iPhone, for Android), advantage – calendar and low price map

4. Offline maps

For what? In order not to waste valuable traffic into the bottomless abyss of roaming

Maps.me is a great app for travelers where you can download maps of any country for free and use them offline. If an enthusiastic “ah!” It hasn’t broken out yet, here’s an explanation: Mapsmi works without the Internet :) Plus, it’s extremely accurate and relevant and with useful comments from users in the “police fines here” category. It also functions as a GPS navigator (tested by the author both on a car and on a bike).

Download: V ; V

And in Russia and the CIS good alternative– 2Gis.

5. Find a cafe nearby

For what? To avoid getting into a situation like Irina ↓

We love good coffee :)

Other mobile services focused on food and entertainment are Foursquare and Yelp.

6. Search for free wi-fi

For what? So as not to run from Starbucks to McDuck and back to KFS

And Irina cannot provide a list useful applications without WiFi Map, because she is a real Wi-Fi addict, because she doesn’t want to buy a local SIM card :) The concept is very simple: people share passwords from access points around the world. To avoid getting into the dead zone, where there is a point but no connection, you need to use filters like “most popular” or “recently connected”.

7. Translator

For what? To more or less express myself, when is “speak English?” doesn't say anything

Google Translate– a well-known travel application where English/Russian/Arabic and other 100 languages ​​are woven together, building bridges of communication between peoples. Of course, everyone already knows this, but does everyone know that Google Translate also helps out offline? You just have to download the desired language in advance.

8. Guide

For what? To be your own personal guide

There is a whole set here: Triposo, TripAdvisor, and izi.Travel. But recommendations are subject to Redigo, as convenient, non-lagging and not yet mentioned. There are maps with attractions, background information about countries, various routes, an event feed and even a phrase book. In short, almost everything is available, except that the audio guide is missing.

Nature on the island of Nusa Penida, Bali

9. Travel app

For what? 1) to avoid sponsoring greedy taxis; 2) save your budget with your travel companions

Regarding the first: Uber- a lifesaver that will always cost less than the local elite with checkers on the roof. Public transport eats up a lot of money, time and personal space, but in some places Uber is surprisingly democratic.

Download: V ; V

Regarding the second: moving around the country between cities - on. This is a ride sharing app. The driver recruits fellow travelers (the cost is divided accordingly), and everyone rushes together in the car to music, jokes and heart-to-heart conversations (but more often in silence, not everyone speaks English 🙂) Distributed throughout Europe.

Download: V ; V

For car rental

10. Communication

For what? Every connection with your mother is necessary, every connection with your mother is important

Otherwise, rest is not rest. Therefore, your best travel apps should include at least two:

• whatsapp(download: for iPhone; for Android) – I like it because you can insert another SIM card, and the number on WhatsApp will remain the same
• Skype(download: for iPhone; for Android) – differs in that you can call landline phones

11. Currency

For what? In order not to be stupid in the store over price tags with three zeros after the decimal point

XE Currency combines everything the travel world needs from such an application: it’s free, works with all known currencies, copes with calculations even without an Internet connection.

12. At the airport

Our flight from Rhodes airport

For what? To brighten up Hachiko's regime near the gate, and maybe calm his nerves

In fact, Irina doesn't really like to fly. And he prefers to spend his time waiting in cafes or easy walks through duty-free. Helps her find interesting sections and soft sofas at any airport GateGuru(download: on iPhone), and to relieve the nasty chill down your back - FlightRadar24(download: iPhone; Android). As they say, you can forever look at the flames, the water and the number of planes in the sky above the globe.

13. Concerts

Well, and the same travel planning application that started this whole article - Songkick Concerts! You type in your favorite bands/artists, and this cool find notifies you of an upcoming tour in nearby cities.

14. Custom travel apps

• DreamSim - mobile communications abroad (you order a SIM card online, it is delivered by mail). We always use it for short-term trips of up to 7-10 days. Using the link from us, a bonus of 7 euros to your account.
• Splitwise- if you are traveling with a group and need to share expenses. There is no constant wasting of time and counting: today a friend buys, tomorrow you buy, at the end of the trip everything is mutually subtracted. Convenient, minimum cash.

• HUJI– an application for shooting in low light.
• Unfold– templates for Instagram stories.
• Awardwallet– collects all loyalty programs (miles) in one place. You can also add travel routes. An application for people who really like structure.

• Google Trips– application for building routes. Helps to estimate how many days to spend in a particular city.
• The Entertainer– a great app if you are traveling with a group. We tested it in Dubai, in short: it allows you to buy 2 dishes or tickets for the price of 1. But it doesn’t work all over the world. We tried it in the UAE, there is also Cyprus, Athens, Bali and several other places. Check on the website. To use, you need to sign up for a paid annual subscription, it pays off after the 1st or 2nd purchase.
• Flush- an application for finding free toilets nearby :)

For travel to the USA:

• Yelp – best analogue TripAdvisor, search for cafes and restaurants in the USA.
• Lift is an analogue of Uber, but with working promotional codes, you know what I mean? Here is the promo code – IGOR33222
• VIA – you can get a “free” ride from New York airport in a Mercedes (click the link for a $20 bonus). So far, it is fully operational only in New York.
• Hoteltonight– for booking hotels for today or tomorrow (sometimes there are very good offers).

There are many currency converters, but this one seems to us the simplest and most convenient. Download for Android. For iPhone, try XE Currency.

Choosing between the bus. by train and hitchhiking, don’t forget about the opportunity to hitch a ride with a driver who is already driving along the route you need. Often the cost of the trip is purely symbolic, barely covering the cost of gasoline. In addition, it is more convenient than a bus and almost always cheaper than a train.

For example, we were amazed to find ourselves in Apple Store– despite the fact that this huge two-story store is one of the largest in the world, we observed incredible crowds in it, and we counted about 40 people in line for the iPhone 5 (and this was six months after its release on the market).

However, in Russia, the situation is significantly different - devices based on the Android OS are leading in terms of sales, increasing the gap every year (75% versus 15% on iOS in 2012). However, this is not surprising, because Android smartphones are produced by such monsters as HTC, Samsung, LG and Sony, and in addition, their range includes budget models, which cannot be said about Apple products.

We couldn't ignore this popular operating system, and today we bring to your attention brief overview applications for Android while traveling.

This powerful navigation app will help you get the most out of your device's built-in GPS and compass. GPS Essential allows you to see data such as coordinates, altitude, speed (current/maximum/minimum), moon phase. With it, you can record tracks, plot routes, put marks on the map, take pictures with your camera, with data overlay, and much more. The application can work with OpenStreetMap, Google Maps and MapQuest maps.

This is a mobile application popular search engine air tickets. In addition to directly selecting tickets, what is especially valuable is the widget that allows you to easily monitor cheap flights to a specific destination. For example, if you want to fly from Moscow to Barcelona, ​​but it doesn’t matter to you exactly when, you can configure the widget accordingly and look at it periodically - once a day, the information in the widget will be automatically updated and you will always have fresh information about best offers in this direction.

Another ticket metasearch engine. It does not have such a convenient widget as Skyscanner, but, firstly, the application itself is very conveniently implemented, and, secondly, this search engine searches, according to the developer, “by 728 airlines (including flights from low-cost carriers and charters), 40 agencies and 5 reservation systems." And, indeed, very often it gives the most advantageous offers.
By the way, we talked about what other ways to save money when buying air tickets in our article "
"

We already wrote about these cards in the article "", but I would like to mention them here too. This application, as they say, must have for everyone who periodically travels outside their city/country.
Unlike most navigation apps that use online maps and, accordingly, not of any value in the absence of the Internet, MapsWithMe allows you to upload a map of any country to your device and use it completely autonomously. For some countries, the maps are more detailed, for others - less, but in any case, all the main roads between cities are drawn. Another plus is that the maps are stored in vector form and, accordingly, take up quite a bit of space.

This application is very useful for those who cannot imagine life without the Internet. WiFi Manager very quickly searches for available wireless networks, displays the type of network protection and signal strength, and also provides the ability to systematize the found networks. The application has several widgets that allow you to find, analyze and connect to the network in seconds.

If Wi-Fi points there is no one nearby and you have to use GPRS when roaming, but you don’t want to get a bill for several tens of thousands of rubles, it is advisable to take into account the volume of transmitted and received traffic. 3G Watchdog does an excellent job of keeping records, and among other things, the application can set up notifications with daily/weekly/monthly statistics.

Almost every new smartphone user strives to install as many useful applications as possible. Most of them turn out to be not as wonderful as they say in the description, so in order not to turn your device into a trash heap, it makes sense to periodically remove unnecessary software.
Unfortunately, it is not always convenient to do this using built-in tools, and besides, not all applications can be completely gotten rid of; it is in such cases that Uninstaller comes to the rescue. The application's functionality is very modest, but it copes with it quite well.

If during your travels you climbed to a place where the signal level cellular network is not high enough, this application will help you. OpenSignal determines the position of the tower you are connected to at the moment, maps out nearby towers and also shows you the direction you should move in to get a stronger signal.

This application, of course, will not protect you from theft or loss of your smartphone, but it can make your life much easier if this does happen. AndroidLost provides the ability to control your Android device from a computer (or another smartphone): delete data from the card, block the smartphone, send SMS, search for the phone by GPS signal and on towers cellular communications, as well as much more.

One of the main advantages of Android is the ability to more fine tuning interface. Therefore, despite the fact that this application is not directly related to travel, we decided to mention it in this article.
With help, you can completely customize the smartphone interface. Themes, icons, gestures and, most importantly, widgets - everything can be controlled from this application.

When traveling, especially long ones, carrying paper books with you is an unaffordable luxury. The best option- This e-book, but you can also read on a smartphone/tablet, although your eyes get tired faster.
Cool Reader is one of the most convenient and functional applications for reading books on android. The application has many settings that allow you to customize it as much as possible to suit your taste. There is nothing special to say about the application, if you like to read books on your smartphone, it’s better to just install it and see for yourself

Bigg

If you are not a linguist and English language is not your native language, then one of the very important applications that will certainly come in handy while traveling is an English-Russian-English dictionary. With all the wealth of choice, there are not so many truly high-quality and complete dictionaries, and the most optimal price/quality ratio is the Bigg application.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that according to statistics, the most popular applications for Android are games and many travelers like to while away their time with mobile toys; we are not fans of this category, so we did not consider them in our review.

If you like to play on your smartphone, then you may be interested in reviews of Android games.

If you just recently got a smartphone and you don’t know how to install applications, read the instructions for Google installation Play for Android.
