Tech apps have continued to positively influence holiday and travel experiences. While the list of these apps is long, there are some important ones worth considering whenever holidays are being planned or while travelling.
Holiday and travel apps
Hopper – Hopper should be your trusted flight booking app. This app analyses thousands of flights to help you find the best deals and the best times to fly and buy. What sets this app apart from the rest is that it not only lets you book flights on your phone, it tells you when to do it, and how to get the best price and the biggest savings. Once you’ve searched for a flight, the app will let you know whether to wait or buy. If it’s best to wait, it will send you a notification the moment the price drops.
Rebtel -This is a recently launched app which enables the user to make high quality international calls to both mobiles and landlines for next to nothing. Rebtel will detect your best available connection type and set up your call via a local phone line, mobile data or WiFi. This means you never have to worry about bad reception or your call dropping. The added good news is that there is a currently a “Rebel calling” deal until 2018, which means friends or family can be called for free if they are also using the app.
Waze -Waze is a GPS navigation app that draws from its active community of drivers to create the most up to date and accurate road data. It’s similar to Google Maps except users with Waze can easily share information about hazards, traffic or accidents. If you’re navigating an unfamiliar city and aren’t sure where the traffic hotspots are, this app is the best you can get.
Rome2Rio -This app is ideal for transit connections and makes route planning easier to manage. If you need to figure out how to get from A to B (when A and B are on different continents), Rome2Rio is the best app to consider. With route information from over 4,800 transport operators in over 158 countries, the app will instantly display flight, train, bus, ferry and driving options with estimated travel times and fares.
Google Trips – Google Trips is your travel itinerary best friend. This app is designed to gather all your travel information from Gmail and various Inboxes and organises it automatically. It also maps out half day or day itineraries, with suggestions of things to do or see. This app works entirely online, which means you don’t need to worry about arriving in a new country and needing to look for a Wi-Fi spot to use it.
