Apps To Download Before Going On A Vacation
Google Maps
Google Maps is the most popular navigation tool, and it’s worth mentioning as a must-have for your journey. Directions can be filtered by the quickest route, traffic conditions, avoiding tolls, or intermediate stops. You may also download entire areas to use offline, which is helpful for long routes of road that are not covered by the app. If you want to plan out when you’ll stop for food, gas, coffee, or a supermarket, Google Maps will locate locations along your route, each with all of the reviews left by other Google users.
TripAdvisor
TripAdvisor is a user-generated travel guide to hotels, restaurants, and activities worldwide. The app allows browsing through various reviews, photographs, and videos from across the world for better ideas on what to expect when you arrive at your destination. You can also look up contact information, search for local businesses, browse restaurants by cuisine, price range, or rating, look up flight prices, and contribute to the knowledge base by leaving your reviews, photos, and notes for the locations you visit.
GasBuddy
GasBuddy has officially been named the world’s largest community-based fuel app. The software uses data from many users to help drivers save money on gas. You can use GasBuddy to identify the lowest fuel among various types, locate petrol stations based on distance and price, and assist others in finding low-cost fuel by reporting fuel prices based on your experience. You’ll get points and achievements for reporting fuel prices. With GasBuddy, you’ll never have to worry about running out of gas on your road trip.
Google Translate
Google Translate is a translation app that lets you do it all: type into 108 languages, access 59 languages offline, translate by photo for 94 languages, translate bilingual conversations for 70 languages, and even translate 96 languages using the handwriting feature. Google Translate is very straightforward to use, with icons at the top for drawing, taking a photo, speaking, and typing.
Airbnb
Use the Airbnb app to book home rentals instead of hotels. You can filter results based on home type, price, required amenities, and more after entering your destination and dates — and for those last-minute trips, you can search only for properties that don’t require pre-approval. You can book immediately through the app if you find something you like. After booking, you can also book local experiences at your destination.
Spotify
Turning up the music and rocking out to your favorite tunes with the wide road in front of you are certainly some of the best road trip experiences. Instead of being trapped with what’s on the radio, download the Spotify app to choose your favourite artists or music genres and create playlists with the swipe of a finger.The app is free to use if you don’t mind the occasional ad, but you can pay for a premium version for continuous music.
Spotify
Yelp
One of the most popular apps for crowd-sourced company reviews is Yelp. Yelp is your go-to resource for finding the best places to eat, drink, shop, and everything in between, whether you’re looking for a nearby coffee shop or a salon that’s now open. Find the greatest restaurants, shopping, and services in your region by using the app. You can filter the results by rating, location, price, distance, and what’s currently open.
