For many of you today a true mega bridge begins, come on, almost an aqueduct, a preview of the Christmas holidays that can last up to nine days, without a doubt one of the most anticipated moments of the year. And now, the luckiest of the lucky ones, will take the opportunity to make at least a little getaway.
If you have a trip planned for the next few days, your iPhone can become your great ally, and it is the best time to put it to the test with a lot of applications of the most varied that will be very useful, from some well-known to others that you may never have seen. Shall we start?
Travel? Not without my iPhone!
Yes sir! That's the attitude 😂. Since we have spent a real pasture on our iPhone, we are going to put it to work on this bridge with the most useful applications to go on a trip, and not die trying.
Preparing the suitcase
Looking for applications to recommend you, I have found several whose purpose was to make a list of everything you have to put in your suitcase, so you don't forget anything. And I was dying of laughter, € 1,99 for that. Forget! With the app Apple Notes You can make a simple list of everything you should or want to take on your trip and mark them as completed so as not to be wrong. It's that simple and it's that free.
So as not to lose you
I know that many of you will be thinking that I am going to recommend Apple Maps. Well no! Although it has improved a lot over the years, Google Maps still seems far superior to me.
With Google Maps You can plan the route to your destination if you are going to travel by car. And when you arrive at your holiday destination, you will find practically everything you need with impeccable accuracy: hotels, restaurants, cafes, shops, museums ... Everything! The walking routes are perfect and the information on public transport doesn't even tell you, at least in the cities. Install the Google Maps widget for public transport on your iPhone and you will tell me when you return.
To discover
Yelp It is one of the best applications to discover places and services that are close to you, especially since it is based on the opinions of users, and thus you can avoid having breakfast where they serve "café de la gaviota" 😅.
Do you get it?
And since in Spain we are not very given to learning languages, if you travel abroad do not forget to install on your iPhone the Google Translator. You will be able to download the language packages you need (52 available offline out of a total of 103) and thus not consume your data rate while you are traveling. In addition it also offers:
- Instant camera translation: point your iPhone to instantly translate text in 29 languages
- Camera mode - Take text photos for higher quality translations in 37 languages
- Conversation mode: instant translation of spoken text in two directions in 32 languages
- Handwriting: draw characters in 93 languages instead of using the keyboard
Travel diary
Any trip, especially if it is to a new destination where you have never been, is a source of discoveries and memories and precisely for this reason, it deserves that you start a travel diary in which you reflect all your experiences.
With Day One Journal You can do it in great detail, a digital diary on your iPhone with a very careful design and very easy to use and intuitive. You will be able to manage several diaries, include up to ten photos in each entry, add labels, your "memories" will automatically show the location, the weather, the time, the date and a lot of functions that you will love.
And when you return home, you can export your diary in PDF format.
Ah! I have not mentioned any app for accommodation reservations because I understand that you have already done this for a long time, or are you planning to sleep under a bridge?
Have a good trip and enjoy!
