You can forget to take anything with you on a trip, from your bank card to your socks. But you won’t forget your phone, even if your trip is limited to a trip to the nearest grocery store. The reason is that even with the cheapest smartphone you can play with an online bookmakers bonus and chat, regardless of your location. If you’re planning to travel farther afield, be sure to download these 9 best travel apps.

TripIt 

It’s your personal travel manager. The app organizes all the details of your trip, from plane tickets to restaurant reservations. The app will remind you to go to the theater (you choose the number and time of reminders), show you a convenient route and tell you where to drink wine afterwards.

Rome2Rio

Tells you how to get from anywhere to anywhere and how you want to get there. It’s easy to get from Perm to Paris by bus! The app will also tell you the cost (even if you travel by car, Rome2Rio will calculate the cost of fuel) and transport schedule.

PackPoint

An intuitive app for packing a suitcase. You just need to choose the parameters (where, when and for how long you’re going), and the app itself will tell you what to take with you.

SeatGuru

An app with one function: it helps you choose the best seat on the plane. It will tell you where you can relax and stretch your legs, and where it’s better not to sit, so that the unfolding chair or the lack of armrest won’t become an unpleasant surprise.

App in the Air

Personal flight manager. It will inform you about any flight changes, advise where to eat best and how to connect to Wi-Fi at any airport, and keep statistics of all flights. The application works offline, and all changes in the schedule will come by SMS.

SkyGuru

An app that treats aerophobia. It was developed by professional pilot and psychologist Alex Gervash, director of the Fearless Flying Center for Overcoming Aerophobia. All you need to do is to enter your flight number. From there the app will act itself: it will tell you in real time what’s going on with the plane, alert you on the turbulence and even analyze all the sounds that might seem strange. 

Organic Maps

Many people remember Maps.me, the app with the most user-friendly online maps. It had a sad fate. Big company bought it to improve and refine and wrecked it so badly that it became impossible to use. Organic Maps is the same Maps.me, revived and even improved.

Nearest Wiki

This app tells you how to find the nearest attractions, finds interesting facts about the city and country and advises local cafes. But these are secondary functions. The main one is additional reality. The app will tell you about almost everything in front of your camera lens – you won’t miss a single sight.

Spotted by Locals

Here you can find recommendations from locals – where to eat, what to see, where to go, where to dance, and more in 81 cities around the world. You’ll agree that it’s much better to come to a trusted place than to run into the tourist traps that abound everywhere.
