Uzone.id – Traveling is not only about packing, installing the right application on your smartphone is also important. Installing applications such as navigation, hotel booking, interpreter or translation can be very helpful during travel, especially abroad.
Well, while you are packing, try to install some applications for this trip.
1. Google Maps
Google Maps is the most important. If in the past there was an expression “Embarrasssed to ask stray on the road”, if now “Did not open Google Maps makes you get lost on the road”.
No need to ask about its ability to be a road signposting application. All traffic will be shown in real-time, both traffic conditions and so on.
If there is no quota, Google Maps also works well offline, as long as the map must be downloaded first.
Facts that you may not know: Google Maps can save the location of the hotel that you are aiming for or going to. Press the “Favorite” button, it’s done!
2. TripIt
Imagine having all your travel details organized in one place—flights, hotel bookings, rental car reservations, and more.
That’s exactly what TripIt does. It collects all your confirmation emails and creates a master itinerary for you.
No more scrolling through your inbox in a panic when you’re trying to remember which airport terminal to go to!
3. Google Translate
Language barriers? No problem. Google Translate helps you communicate with locals, read menus, and even translate signs or documents.
You can either type in the text or use your camera to scan and translate on the spot. Plus, you can download languages for offline use, so you don’t need Wi-Fi to understand basic phrases.
4. XE Currency
One of the trickiest things about traveling abroad is figuring out the currency exchange. XE Currency lets you convert currencies on the go, so you don’t accidentally overpay for that cute souvenir.
The app updates exchange rates in real time and works offline with the last updated rates, so you’ll never be in the dark about how much you’re spending.
5. Skyscanner
Looking for last-minute flights or just trying to find the cheapest way to your next destination? Skyscanner is your go-to app for flight comparison.
It searches across airlines and travel sites to show you the best prices for flights, hotels, and car rentals. You can set price alerts and book directly from the app, making it super convenient to find the best deals.
6. Airbnb
Want to skip the hotel and live like a local? Airbnb connects you with people who rent out their homes, apartments, or even just a room.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy cabin in the woods or a chic city loft, Airbnb offers tons of unique options that often feel more personal than traditional hotels.
7. PackPoint
Packing can be stressful, especially if you’re heading to a destination with unpredictable weather or specific activities in mind.
PackPoint creates a customized packing list based on the weather forecast and the activities you’re planning, so you never forget your umbrella or hiking boots again.
8. Rome2Rio
Wondering how to get from point A to point B in a foreign city? Rome2Rio shows you all the possible transport options, from flights and trains to buses and ferries.
Just enter your starting point and destination, and the app will list out different routes, prices, and travel times.
9. LoungeBuddy
Layovers can be a nightmare, but LoungeBuddy makes them a little more bearable.
The app shows you available airport lounges and lets you know if you have free access or need to pay a fee. Some lounges offer pay-per-use, meaning you don’t need a fancy airline status to get in.
10. Duolingo
Want to learn the basics of a new language before your trip? Duolingo makes it fun and easy to pick up key phrases.
Whether it’s Spanish, French, or Japanese, you can squeeze in a few lessons while you’re on the plane or waiting for your train. Plus, it’s free!
