Do you want something for directions? Language translation? Last minute deals? Well, there’s an app for that! Here are some of the best travel apps to download before your next trip:

Say Where

Do you worry about getting lost? Not being able to find what a decent place to eat while you’re travelling? The Say Where app is one easy (and free!) way to travel worry free. Simply press down the button on your screen and say where you are. From there, the app will pull up a map of your location, give you a traffic report, the Yellow Pages, or even a Yelp review of nearby attractions. This app is super handy if you don’t want to ask a stranger for directions. Plus, if you have this downloaded on your phone, you won’t need to download the Yelp app as well.

iTalk

Want to remember every part of your vacation? It’s possible with iTalk. This handy app allows you to record the sounds around you. Whether you want to save a conversation or the sound of a live street band, it’s all at the touch of your fingertips! You can record several minutes of sound before you even notice any change in your memory. Simply press the record button and get ready to hold onto some of those once in a lifetime memories.

Sit or Squat

When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go! Unfortunately, when you travel, you need to think about where the nearest washrooms are. That is where this next travel app comes in handy. Sponsored by Charmin, Sit or Squat is a database of the nearest locations of free washrooms to use. It doesn’t just list the locations, though. You’ll also get user reviews and an actual photo of the facilities. Yes, you can be a little choosey…. even on the go.

Lingolook Flashcards

For just $4.99, you can have a little extra help dealing with foreign languages. This next travel app is all about providing flashcards with simple words and phrases, like: “Speak slowly” and “I need a taxi.” It comes in a number of different languages, like Spanish, Italian, French, Japanese, and Chinese. Best of all? It doesn’t require a data plan to work.

Packing Pro

Do you worry about your suitcase going over the weight allowance? How about bringing back more goods than you’re allowed? With the Packing Pro travel app, you won’t have to worry about that anymore. This program sets up a to-do list and helps you to keep track of everything you’ve got with you. Everyone in your family can make use of this. There are settings for women, men, and children, so that every packing list is customized to your individual needs.
