The best apps for finding tours. The best mobile apps for those who are going on a road trip

We already have a post on the blog about the best mobile travel apps for Android, but things are changing very quickly - I decided to update the list and add more useful apps for iphone.

In this article, top 30 indispensable travel assistants that help you easily find cheap flights, book a hotel or apartment, find a delicious restaurant or cafe, communicate with locals and much more.

The best travel apps for iphone and android

Buying tickets

✔Aviasales- a mobile application from the largest Russian meta-search engine for air tickets, there are convenient filters, a price calendar, you can subscribe to notifications of price reductions. Supports the search for a compound route, for example Moscow-St. Petersburg - Kazan-Moscow.

✔ Skyscanner- a similar application that also allows you to find cheap flights by comparing more than 700 airlines and providing information in a convenient form with the ability to sort by filters. It also supports advanced searches.

In general, these two are more than enough, but if you want, you can also try Momondo, Buruki, Kayak and similar ones.

Hotel reservations and other accommodation

✔ Hotellook- a service from the creators of Aviasales, only for hotels. How it works: compares 80 accommodation booking systems and finds the cheapest option. It's nice to have everything in one place. It is also possible to find a suitable place using a filter, see photos and ratings.

Read also:

✔ Roomguru is an international meta-search engine for hotels from HotelsCombined, with similar functionality. I always look at both, in some cities the proposed options differ, both in terms of availability and price.

✔ Airbnb is the world leader in hosted rentals. Renting an apartment, house or villa is often more convenient than a hotel room, especially if you are traveling with a large family or a group of friends and want to feel almost at home even at the end of the world.

Read also:

✔ Couchsurfing- an application from the well-known hospitality site of the same name. Find friends and people who are ready to host you among 12 million inhabitants of 230 thousand cities around the world.

Best Travel Apps - Accommodation

Transport

✔ Russian Railways is the official mobile application of the Russian Railways. Buying train tickets in Russia. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well.

MailRu Group recently released a similar app: BeepCar.

✔ Uber is an application for ordering a taxi in more than 500 cities around the world.

Recently YandexTaxi and Uber merged in Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Belarus. Applications will also be merged into one.

There are many more analogues: Gett Taxi, Grab and many others. In some countries, Uber is a motorcycle taxi, which can also be called using the application (in Bali, the local taxomafia is at war with them). And in Tehran, for example, there is an application for calling a taxi - Snapp.

✔ Flihgtradar24- No. 1 in the "Travel" section in more than 100 countries around the world. This useful application allows you to track thousands of aircraft around the world in real time. And besides this, find out the status of the flight, speed, altitude, weather conditions, flight history for the last month. There are free and paid versions with advanced functionality.

✔ Seat Guru- a database of many airlines with detailed plans for specific aircraft from a particular company. Thus, you can choose the most convenient place - even a long flight will be easy. Now there are more than 130 carriers in the service, but many Russian carriers are still missing.

✔ Yandex.Metro- allows you to easily lay routes and navigate the metro of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, Kyiv, Kharkov, Istanbul.

What other travel apps do I recommend?

Planners and organizers

✔ Evernote- organizer application, electronic notepad. Synchronizes across all devices and allows you to record thoughts and notes anywhere, they will all be stored inside the application. You can also add sharing, make lists, save web pages, PDFs, and more.

✔Trip It- collects all your travel plans in one place. The application itself can collect data from mail, forming a trip plan and synchronizing it with the calendar.

Attractions

✔TripAdvisor— the largest service for travelers. Easily find the best hotels, restaurants, entertainment, read reviews, find interesting places nearby, download city maps.

✔ Redigo— guides and guides to various countries of the world, now more than 800 cities and regions. All guidebooks and city maps can be downloaded and used offline.

✔ Afisha World- a similar country guide, you can also add notes, tips, see the recommendations of friends and other users.

✔ Triso- also works offline, you can book hotels, excursions directly from the application, there is a built-in currency converter.

Cards

✔Google Maps A must have for a traveler. Wherever you go, have maps handy. After all, you can buy a local SIM card with an Internet package and easily navigate the area. Now Google maps have the opportunity to download the site in advance and use it offline - I've been waiting for a long time!

Maybe you prefer Yandex maps, you can take them, but Google is somehow more familiar to me.

✔ Maps.Me is the second travel map app that I recommend downloading to your smartphone. Works offline and via GPS, no internet or connection is needed, you won't get lost even in the forest. There are most countries in the world, download the package for a specific area in advance (now you can even not the entire country, but by regions or provinces) and use it offline. Now you can book a hotel or call YandexTaxi from the application.

✔ 2Gis— convenient when traveling around Russia. There is not only a map, but also a list of organizations in the building, directions and even a little historical background.

Languages

✔ Google translate is a universal translator from 103 languages ​​(online) and 52 (offline), and this list is constantly updated. The ability to receive a translation from a photo (for 30 languages) is very useful when traveling. Plus speech translation (from 32 languages). In China, I communicated well with completely ignorant people. English language people on many topics is a very useful travel app.

There is also a similar translator from Yandex, you can use it, as it is more convenient for you.

Connection

✔ WhatsApp- allows you to send messages or use just for a telephone conversation. It requires much less traffic than Skype, and works stably - in Iran, it was easy to communicate with the house thanks to the local 3G Internet and this application.

✔ Viber- Free video calls, phone calls and text messages. You can create group chats, which is convenient in work.

✔ Skype is another useful travel app that allows you to make free video calls to any part of the world via the Internet.

Not all VPNs will work equally well in any given country. For example, in Iran I used Psiphone - it worked great.

Cost planning

✔ XE Currency— online currency converter. Before the trip, update the database by downloading all the latest courses and then use it offline. As soon as there is internet, the courses will be updated again. It is convenient when you just arrive in a new country and cannot immediately convert these dongs, rupees and others into rubles.

✔ Monefy- an application for recording expenses and income, allows you to keep records in a visual form. It features a clear interface, ease of recording expenses, the ability to change the currency. I use it not only on trains, but also at home in Russia.

Search for restaurants and cafes

✔ Foursquare is one of the best apps for finding food, entertainment and places of interest. A convenient filter by preferences, a map with reviews from other people.

Search for tours

Often, tours to popular tourist destinations are more profitable than if you plan your trip yourself. For a week to Bulgaria for 8,000 rubles with a flight, accommodation and breakfast, or for ten days in Thailand at the price of a flight for 25,000 rubles?

✔ Travelata.ru— convenient search best prices for tours among 120 tour operators from many cities of Russia. Search by specified criteria, dates, price, detailed descriptions of hotels. Payment online by credit card.

There are many more useful travel apps, but these are the ones I have installed on my smartphone and often help out on the road.

The most pleasant thing about traveling is the anticipation of new experiences, acquaintances and discoveries. To make the trip a success, you need to carefully prepare: think in advance what useful mobile applications for travelers will need, download them at home - there is not always access to free Internet abroad. Maps, dictionaries, current exchange rates and phrasebooks will help you plan your trip and save your nerves, time and money.

All Courses Online has found the best free travel apps and software for phones, smartphones and tablets on Android and iOs systems that will replace a personal guide, travel agent and translator.

  1. skyscanner(iOS / , free)

All well-known service for the search and purchase of air tickets can also be used through a mobile phone. The application retains the same functionality that is available on the site - convenient filters by travel time, number of transfers, price, etc.

The application, like Skyscanner, is designed to search and buy the most profitable flights. The main advantage is that it helps to predict the most optimal purchase time for the specified dates in order to get the lowest price.

  1. Lounge Buddy(iOS/Android, free)

The application is designed to pay for recreation areas at different airports around the world, having read the list of services offered in advance.

No matter how much you want to relax at the airport, keep an eye on the time - we have often seen poor inattentive tourists who resorted to the gate after landing, complaining that the boarding area for their flight was not announced in the lounge area.

Accommodation booking
