Going on a trip is one of the most exciting activities you can experience, but it can also be stressful. To make things easier, there are apps for Android that can help you plan and organize your next trip. In this article we will present to you the best applications for Android
1. PackPoint
We all need a little help packing, and PackPoint can do just that. Answer a few simple questions about your trip and PackPoint will create a customizable packing list for you, with recommendations based on weather forecasts, activities and whether you have access to laundry facilities.
It's easy to cross out items as they're packed or add more as you go. The standard version of the Packpoint app is free, but includes ads and in-app purchases. You can upgrade to premium for £2.49 on the Play Store or £2.99 on the App Store to remove them.
2. Google Translate
Are you worried about encountering a language barrier when you are abroad? Although the Google Translate app won't let you learn a second language, it can help you when needed. One of the most useful features is instant camera translation – just point your camera at a panel or menu and the app will translate it for you into 38 different languages.
Good to know: If you have an Android, you can use the Ok Google voice command to help you do translations!
3. AirBnB
If you're looking for vacation accommodation, Airbnb is the app for you. Find a home away from home with over 6 million choices in 191 countries. You can tailor your search based on price, neighborhood, and nearby amenities to ensure you find the best choices, whatever your tastes and needs. Save your favorite rentals for your future vacation and find new experiences to enjoy during your stay.
4. Google Maps
The days of the foldable map are well and truly over! With the Google Maps app , you can find directions to and from any location in the world, and you can even adapt them to different means of transportation. If you're unsure about your internet connection while you're abroad, you can download maps of the areas you're going to visit in advance for offline access.
You can also create your own "saved lists", where you can pin your favorite attractions, restaurants and bars, and view them on a personalized map. It's a simple, visual way to organize all your must-visit places, which you can easily share with friends or keep private.
5. SitOrSquat
SitOrSquat is probably the best app at the moment for finding toilets, since its database contains more than 105,000 toilets around the world. What's great about this app is that Charmin (the toilet paper manufacturer) is currently sponsoring it, which means there are funds to improve the app and attract new users. To find a toilet, simply search or use the phone's GPS to get results near you. The application can be downloaded for free on iPhone, iPod Touch and Blackberry.
Make your trip easier
With the strength of travel from the Covid, most people take advantage of the fact that they can finally pack their bags and fly to the land of sun and pleasure. Many things have changed in the past two years and, when it comes to travel, many things have become easier.
For example, online visa demand is now possible for Europeans who go to many destinations such as Egypt, Vietnam, India, Kenya, etc. This means that the time when it was necessary to go physically to an embassy to obtain a paper visa is now over. Some countries, such as the United States and Canada, have indeed abolished the visa obligation by developing an electronic travel authorization platform.
In addition, for those who plan to travel from Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport ( CDG ), it is now easier to find affordable parking options nearby. Online services such as CARLILL allow you to book parking spaces in advance at competitive prices, thus guaranteeing peace of mind before departure.
In summary, thanks to a multitude of new technological improvements made to visa demand processes, travel planning and navigation, travel seems easier than ever. So what are you waiting for to buy your plane tickets today?
