Top travel apps for phones & tablets
These are the apps we downloaded, gearing up for our journey. In this day and age, it comes in handy, not 5to say we will use them all. Some will argue that there is a loss of spontainity now that travel industry has gone digital. But why be unprepapred? Why not leave more time to absorb the enviroment rather than sweat trying to buy a train ticket. These are all android apps but it should exist for iOS.
