The Best Apps For International Travel

The Best Apps For International Travel

It's good to get out in the world, but you don't want to go unprepared. Traveling involves solving a hundred little problems like how to get around, how to speak the language, and even what time it is. These apps are here to help you stop worrying about these needs and enjoy your trip.

Get the Best Deals

Your travel, lodging, and transportation are possibly even more important than your destination; it doesn't matter if you're in the most exciting city in the world if you don't know how to get there, where you're sleeping, or how you're going to get around. Here are some apps that will hook you up with a flight, a hotel, and a car, if that's how you (literally) roll. They could save you some money by bundling or let you compare rates from a bunch of different platforms to help you stay on schedule and get to the important business of relaxing and enjoying your trip.

Expedia: Hotels, Flights, Cars

Search for and compare flights while you use extra features to plan your whole trip.

Expedia: Hotels, Flights, Cars

View departure and return flights

For those who like flight comparison apps that offer hotel and car rental options.

Searching for flights with Expedia is simple and flexible because you choose both your departure and return flights separately and sort by various options for each. View a quick cost summary and then sign in to your Expedia account to book your trip. The Expedia app can also assist you with hotel and car rental reservations as well as activities in the area you are visiting.

Why we love it

If you are a current Expedia user, then the travel app for your device is a must-have. Search for and compare flights, book your trip, and use the bonus features for accommodations and car rentals.

Tripadvisor: Plan & Book Trips

When you need recommendations for your trip, there's no better app

Tripadvisor: Plan & Book Trips

Your own advisor

For anyone who wants great recommendations while on their trip

TripAdvisor is a comprehensive all-in-one travel companion. With TripAdvisor, you can get maps for any location, as well as detailed reviews of hotels and restaurants from other travelers. If you're the type to share your experience and want to help others, you can also leave your own reviews too. TripAdvisor is also a great way to book a flight and room when you need it, and you can even find deals that you won't find elsewhere, right from the app. While you're in town, you can get tips and recommendations on where to eat, what to do, and what to see. When you have TripAdvisor at your fingertips, it's hard to get lost.

Why we love it

TripAdvisor is a powerful app that makes it easy to find great recommendations and deals. It's a must for anyone who plans to travel.

KAYAK: Flights, Hotels & Cars

Why we love it

Searching for your trip options does not have to be a struggle. Kayak searches tons of travel sites to find you the best deals on hotels, flights, and car rentals.

Find Your Way

Whether you know your way around town already, or it's your first time setting foot in a new place, it's never a bad idea to have a good map at your side. And it's even better if your navigation doesn't depend on an internet connection or having to download anything. These apps will set you up to make sure you can get to your destinations easily. And they'll also stop you from looking like the very specific kind of fool that comes with trying to walk and read a huge paper map simultaneously.

Communicate Wherever You Go

Now that you know where you're going, it's probably a good idea to know what you're saying. These apps give you tools to break through the language barrier and hopefully not have too many awkward moments. Some of them will even do the talking for you so that you don't have to worry about pronunciation. And if you're cool with just constantly holding up your phone to people so they know how many oranges you want or whatever, that will be a pretty handy feature.

Capture All Your Experiences

What are you planning on using to remember your trip? Your memory? No; you need a camera. And these apps are here to beef up the one that's already built into your phone. They'll help make your shots clearer, give you a boost when you're shooting in less than ideal lighting, and provide tools to help you shoot like a pro. They probably won't make your post-vacation slideshows any more interesting for the friends and family you subject to them, but that's more a failing of the format than the pictures themselves.

Camera+: Pro Camera & Editor

Building on the popular and powerful original

Camera+: Pro Camera & Editor

Camera+: Pro Camera & Editor

Most importantly, the app now offers a UltraRes upscaling feature. Using machine learning technology, the app upscales images to up to four times what the native sensor can capture. The feature upscales the images while keeping the details crisp and clear. You can find it as a camera preset or as a new tool in the editor. It can be applied to any photo you’ve taken, even not using Camera+ 2. You’ll need an iPhone 11 or later, iPad Pro third-generation or later, ninth-generation iPad, or sixth-generation iPad mini to use UltraRes. Other changes include a redesigned editor and a live histogram in the camera screen. Camera+ 2 is a free download on the App Store and for the iPhone and iPad. With the new update, the app is making a move to the subscription model. Anyone who has previously purchased the app will still be able to access the features you’ve purchased. For new features, you’ll need a subscription of $3.99 per month or $17.99 yearly. You can also unlock lifetime access for $24.99.

ProCamera. Professional Camera

Use this great camera app in any low-light situation

ProCamera. Professional Camera

A number of modes

For photographers who are looking for a great way to take low-light photos.

When you're ready to capture an image or video, just start the app up. There are a ton of different levels you can adjust quickly and easily.

Why we love it

ProCamera+ is one of the best third-party camera apps available. It's powerful and truly gives photographers more control over their images - especially if they shoot in low light. The ability to shoot video is a great added plus as well. You will need to pay extra to unlock some features with an in-app purchase, but the technology is definitely worth it.

Know What Time It Is, No Matter Where

If you have any kind of schedule or itinerary on your travels, it's probably a good idea to know what time it is wherever you are. And if you're traveling or doing business between multiple countries or time zones, it becomes even more important. These apps will make sure you know what time it is wherever you are -- or need to be.

Globo - World Clock and Weather

Check time time anywhere on Earth

Globo - World Clock and Weather

Add new location

For world travelers who want to keep track of the time in a number of locations.

You can create a list of your favorite clocks and then easily manage them. For each location you can view the time zone, time interval, distance from another location, coordinates, weather and more. World travelers can create up to 64 custom location-based alarms and work completely offline.

Why we love it

Globo is rather feature-rich, so it can be used by just about anyone. Our favorite feature is the ability to change the time in one location to see it in another.

Time Buddy - Easy Time Zones
