Hopper<br />

Been thinking about going to Japan for ages, but<br />

haven’t had much luck in booking a cheap flight?<br />

Hopper, a travel app, is your guide. The app tells<br />

you the best times to fly and what prices you should<br />

be expecting over the duration you are looking at.<br />

If you have a specific flight destination in mind, then<br />

use the “Watch a Flight” option to catch the lowest<br />

price. Don’t be worried if you do not have a particular<br />

destination of interest yet. The calendar in this app<br />

is colour-coded so it can tell you when and which<br />

dates offer the lowest price before making your<br />

decision. Just think about the money you will save<br />

on air tickets if you download this app, that’s quite<br />

a sum eh?<br />

Travel List<br />

A checklist will ensure you’ve gotten everything and this is<br />

where the Travel List app comes in handy. The app enables<br />

you to get organised with the essentials you should really be<br />

bringing when you are travelling. From reminding you about<br />

packing in ID, passport, phone charger, credit card to buying<br />

souvenirs and everything on-the-go, Travel List has got you<br />

covered. The app also features a calendar and allows for<br />

reminders setting for the stuff you pack last-minute. To<br />

conclude, Travel List is just perfect in ensuring you have<br />

everything you need for a comfortable and memorable trip.<br />

Google Maps<br />

Getting lost in a foreign place is undoubtedly<br />

an adventure unlike any other. But if it is not<br />

on purpose, then it is no fun. First things<br />

first, download the Google Maps app in your<br />

mobile before setting off on a great journey.<br />

What it does is it saves you money if you<br />

plan on hiring a car sans GPS. It can track<br />

where you are and allows you to switch<br />

between map, street or satellite view – 3D<br />

view even. Plus, the app is also proven to be<br />

useful if the locals are not giving you clear<br />

indications to get to where you want to be.<br />

Foodspotting<br />

It is pretty obvious that you would want to taste<br />

what the locals usually eat when you travel so as to<br />

learn more about their culture. Refueling your energy<br />

aside, food makes the utmost priority when<br />

travelling. Knowing what to eat, where and which<br />

eateries offer local meals and snacks can be hard<br />

when you are at a foreign destination. This is why<br />

you should download Foodspotting. This app helps<br />

you find food and recommend specific dishes in<br />

just about any local restaurant. A handy tool that<br />

allows quick, easy access, you can keep McDonald's<br />

as a backup plan. With Foodspotting, you can now<br />

eat like a local!<br />
