Six Incredibly Useful Travel Apps

I have a tonne of apps on my phone but these are the ones which I feel are the six most useful travel apps, or at least they are the ones I use the most often when traveling.

This list of incredibly useful travel apps does not include social media or other apps that I use for blogging.

Six Incredibly Useful Travel Apps
1. OSM And

This is by far the app that comes in most useful while traveling. I would literally be lost without it.

Apart from being a GPS it can also tell me where points of interest are.

2. Compass

Sometimes the GPS does not work, or all I want to do is find direction without having to open the gps. I also carry a real compass.

3. Booking.com

Booking.com is my go-to accommodation booking site. When it comes to actually booking I prefer to use the website, but to check current bookings the app come in very handy as it works offline.

4. XE Currency Converter

Great for converting currencies and works off-line as long as you have added the currencies you want to convert between into the app.

5. Google Translate

With google translate you can translate between almost any two languages. It is not the most accurate app there is but is good enough to get you by. If you download the language pack onto your phone then it can be used offline also.

6. Ankidroid

Ankidroid is a flashcard app which I use to learn languages. There are other language learning apps like duolingo (another of my favorites) but I prefer ankidroid because it can be used offline and is not as processor heavy, although I do feel that duolingo is a better way to learn than just flashcards.
