Useful iPhone Apps for Travel
June 24th, 2015I am sometimes asked about useful apps for Travellers – I must declare my bias in that I am in the iPhone camp so don’t know as much about android apps.
There are lists online like this one of 50 but I use almost none of these.
Here is my list of essentials
Timescroller – to know what time is best to ring home
Skype and Viber : to ring home. I especially like viber for sending photos back to my family group.)
Tripadvisor app : to checkout restaurants and accommodation
Tripit is an easy way to store ones itinerary, flights etc on one’s phone
A currency app is useful : I use ecurrency
Worldfactbook – to get some statistics about countries while on the road
and of course the essentials Twitter, Facebook, google maps
LOast but not least, here are the apps I developed:
Vaccine Record for Travellers – ( free ) so you can store your vaccine records
Travel Health Guide for iPhone and Travel Health Guide for Android : This will Help you work out what to do if you get sick
I would love to hear suggestions from others as to the apps they love for travel.
My wife ( Gail) and I are patients and we have purchased your great book. Just wondering, as an android camp person ( and there are lots of us out there) whether you would advise about suitable apps similiar to your favoured apple app?
HI Glen, I am so pleased to report that there is now an android version. You can access it via
