Two things that come to mind upon travelling is money and if the experiences will be remotely authentic?<br />
But, with these mobile apps, you get to have best of both worlds. So, what are you waiting for? Download<br />
the apps and start planning your next getaway!<br />

Uber<br />
If you haven't heard of Uber,<br />
you should go out more often as this<br />
driver-on-demand app has quite<br />
spectacularly been taking over countries in just<br />
mere months. Choose from economy, premium,<br />
accessibility or uberPOOL, choose your destination,<br />
swipe your credit card for confirmation and get on with<br />
your journey. The app promotes cashless transaction apart<br />
from catering to customers with special needs by allowing<br />
them to choose the accessibility option for cars with<br />
wheelchair storage or allowing thrifty customers to choose<br />
uberPOOL, if they wish to carpool and save more money.<br />
While travelling, this will be quite intriguing as you not<br />
only have secured your transportation, but it is by<br />
a local who might just be able to give you<br />
pointers if you're new to the city!<br />
The app is available on iOS,<br />
Android and Microsoft.<br />
FOURSQUARE<br />
What if your food-finding app not<br />
only knew your favourite restaurants but<br />
also your favourite foods? Foursquare is your<br />
ultimate pocket city guide. Find the best places to<br />
eat, drink, shop, or visit — in any city in the world. Find<br />
suggestions for places to go grouped into various categories<br />
such as coffee, brunch, dinner, shopping, fun, dessert and<br />
nightlife. The app automatically picks a category based on the<br />
time of day but you can also choose one on your own. Below<br />
each category, you’ll find recommendations on where to go. It<br />
also filters recommendations from friends, places you've saved,<br />
liked or visited. Once you’ve picked out a few tastes, Foursquare<br />
begins calculating its recommendations towards places where<br />
people have left positive tips about the things you like! So,<br />
tastes and expertise creates a recommendation system<br />
that's customised for you but also rests on those with<br />
tastes more developed than your own. Pretty neat!<br />
The app is available on iOS, Android and<br />
Microsoft Windows.
