Here’s an easy read on great apps for when you’re traveling:
Heading out on a trip? There are some apps you’d wish you’d known sooner.
1. **Google Maps:** Sure, Waze is cool, but Google Maps takes the cake when you’re exploring new cities on foot.
2. **Venmo:** This app is a lifesaver when you need to split costs with your travel companions. Whether it’s a shared meal, a cab ride, or splitting the cost of communal essentials, Venmo makes sure you never forget a payment.
3. **Uber:** Imagine a world before Uber! This app lets you split fares with your buddies too, which is fantastic.
4. **Yelp:** You gotta eat, right? This app will help you find the best food in your current location.
5. **iExit:** If you’re in America and on a major highway, this app shows you what’s at each exit. Grab a snack, check for a gas station if you’re low on fuel, or snag a meal at Arby’s if you’re craving it!
6. **Roadside America:** This one’s for when you’re up for a fun pit-stop like admiring The World’s Largest Ball of Twine.
7. **Starbucks:** Keep all your Starbucks loyalty cards in one place and enjoy discounted treats. Being able to pay with your phone when all you have is your driver’s license and one credit card in your pocket is pretty awesome.
8. **Dropbox:** Stay in touch with work or access to your documents wherever you are.
9. **CamScanner:** Need to scan something on the go? This app can turn it quickly into a PDF for you.
10. **GroupMe:** For free group messaging, this app is better than WhatsApp. Easy group chats are a boon when you’re traveling with others.
