BEST FOR NAVIGATING TRIPS: Rome2rio

Available for iOS, and Android.

Rome2rio is an amazing app to help you navigate different routes of transportation. Simply put in where you’re going from where you want to depart and it’ll tell you how much time it’ll take to get to your destination via different modes of travel (train, car, taxi, and bus) as well as how much it could cost so you can estimate how much money you need to pull out. If you want to take the train or bus it’ll tell you which bus or train to get on and where to transfer and so forth.


BEST FOR FLEXIBLE DATA PLANS: Google Fi

Available for iOS, and Android.

Google Fi is all about flexibility, so your plan can be a month-to-month unlimited plan when you need it and a pay-per-gig plan when you don’t. They also offer privacy and security features that help you stay safe, with a built-in VPN for a private online connection, end-to-end encryption for secure calls between Android phones on Fi, and spam call blocking.


BEST FOR TRAVEL MUSIC: Spotify

Available for iOS, and Android.

Listen to music anytime, and anywhere in the world through the Spotify app. This app algorithmically generates music recommendations based on your personal listening habits. They combine songs you’re intimately familiar with, brand-new tracks that the algorithm thinks you will like, and more! You’ll easily be grooving from the airport til you reach your next destination with this app.

BEST FOR HOTEL DAY STAYS: DayUse

Available for iOS, and Android.

DayUse is a smart travel app that offers daytime hotel bookings in over 23 countries. The app is designed for travelers who need a hotel room for a few hours, not overnight. It is slowly transforming how people are seeing hotels. Hotels aren’t going to be only sleeping sanctuaries, but can now be visited for temporary stay-ins.


BEST FOR MANAGING TRAVEL FUNDS: Trail Wallet

Available for iOS.

You can use the Trail Wallet app to smoothly enter your travel expenses and convert currencies, a helpful companion for both long-term travelers and occasional vacationers. It certainly beats the hassle of tracking costs on paper or a notes app or calculating various exchange rates on your own.


BEST FOR FINDING GOOD PRICES: Hopper

Available for iOS, and Android.

Hopper is an app designed to help you find and secure the best prices on flights, hotels, accommodations, and car rentals. They focus on predicting fares and nightly rates so you can choose when to travel so it fits best within your budget.


BEST FOR YOUR BODY DURING A FLIGHT: Timeshifter

Available for iOS, and Android.

The Timeshifter app adjusts and synchronizes your body clock with the new time zone of your destination through a specific sleep and caffeine schedule. The jet lag disorder can ruin many trips because of the time difference and the Timeshifter enables you to avoid this, thus allowing you to enjoy your vacation more!


BEST FOR ORGANIZING YOUR TRIP: PackPoint

Available for iOS, and Android.

PackPoint is a must-have for travelers—it’s geared towards everyone, from last-minute packers to perfectionists who need a helping hand when putting together an all-inclusive checklist! The best function of the app is to generate customized packing checklists based on the input details provided by the user.
