Top 6 List of Handy Travel Apps
Travel apps are the rage these days.
Everybody wants the best deals and the best apps to plan their trip. From
booking hotels to planning itineraries, apps are a lifesaver when it comes to
travelling and having a good time.
1.
Google Translate: This is literally a life saver when it comes
to travelling outside of your home country. Even in Sri Lanka, if you’re booked
in multiple rooms
in Kandy, or in budget hotels in Kataragama, you need to talk to
the locals every now and then. With the Google Translate app you can read
signs, talk with locals and experience your travel spot in any language they
speak – Tamil, English, French, etc.
2. PackPoint: Repeatedly listed as “Editor’s choice” in the Google Play Store,
this nifty app helps plan itineraries and things to pack according to the
location and places you enter. It’s like having a thoughtful friend in your
smartphone, who reminds you to pack and carry the essentials for the trip. It’s
got some amazing features that allow travellers to become more strategic about
their trips.
3. AccuWeather: You don’t want to be lost
in the rain, and the AccuWeather app is the best bet when it comes to being
safe during your trip. It will give you weather alerts and warnings if
something is about to happen. It even gives you a weekly weather report that
allows you to change your plans if you see the weather changing.
4. Yoho
Bed: Yoho Bed’s a pretty cool app that’s specialised
in providing great branded hotels at unbeatable prices. It’s a great app for
those travelling to Sri Lanka, and it provides a uniform experience for someone
who’s looking for rooms in Colombo or budget hotels in Galle. It covers a wide
range of areas under the banner and offers some unique features on the app as
well.
5.
Detour: Ever
wanted to have an impromptu tour of the city you’re currently in? Detour app
lets you do just that. You can check out a whole host of features and tours
through the app, and it lets you design your own customised tour of certain
areas that you’d like to visit. You decide what you want to hear and when you
want to hear it.
6. Uber: Not only is Uber a
great tool to get around town, but also it has some great hidden features that
expand its full capabilities according to the trip you’re taking. If you’re in
a large group then you can book an SUV, or if you’re travelling with a loved
one you can book an Uber Mercedes Black.
