Ten Free Apps Necessary for Traveling Abroad

When you are on the road, believe me, your best travel partner and tool assistant is your smartphone! When you see the beautiful scenery, you can take photos with your mobile phone as a souvenir. If you can't think of anything to eat, you can search the food guide and even get lost and help you navigate. The various apps in the mobile phone make us less depressed during the trip, especially when traveling abroad.

In order to let everyone get wet in the rain and dew, Mi Xiaoyan decided to tell everyone that this 10 APP is super easy to use, and it is free, free, and the important things are said three times.

1, Tripit- personal travel planning website

TripIt was once listed as "Top Ten Most Commonly Used Travel Applications" by Forbes magazine, which can automatically create all the details of your itinerary into a truly helpful itinerary. No matter how many cities you go to, how many flights you change and how many hotels you change, it will list your reservations in a simple and vivid order, including reservation confirmation number, date, time, place, detailed address, map connection, local weather forecast and other data.

You can browse offline without upgrading, and you can still view the previously synchronized information without the network.

More importantly, when you book air tickets, hotels and enter your itinerary online, the system will automatically send a confirmation email, automatically filter the data for you and arrange your itinerary.

TripIt can also share your travel plans with your family or colleagues and let them know when and where you will go, which saves time and is very convenient. Best of all, this application service is completely free, but if you want to get more information, such as flight warnings and dynamic updates anytime, anywhere, you can also choose to pay $49 a year to upgrade to a premium member (tripit

2. Send physical postcards for free.

Haven't received a postcard for a long time? In the digital age, this traditional expression is gradually replaced by e-cards or other tools. But occasionally receiving a physical postcard is quite expected and surprising.

Postagram, a mobile phone application, can turn the photos taken by your mobile phone into physical postcards, and it will also help you attach the correct postal code, so that you can send them directly to any corner of the world with your mobile phone. Previously, American users had to pay 99 cents to send personalized postcards to domestic areas and 1.99 dollars to send them overseas, including postage.

After selecting a photo, you only need to enter the recipient's name, address and credit card information (which will be automatically remembered once), and you can include a personalized message with 140 characters. Then click a few buttons, the postcard will be printed and sent, and the printed postcard will be output at 300dpi resolution. It takes about 2~5 working days for the recipient to receive it (it may take longer if it is sent abroad). Although it is in English, the interface and operation are quite simple, and it is very convenient and interesting to use.

In addition, it also supports the functions of creating a list (storing five currencies for quick access), offline access and querying the exchange rates of outdated currencies that still exist.

6.gasbuddy- Help you find the cheapest gas station.

After the composition is completed, viewers can look at these photos as if they were there. However, it should be noted that the finished products processed by Photosynth are basically open by default after uploading, but the sharing authorization method can be set.

Yelp is a world-class platform with more than 50 million store reviews around the world. Awesome, no different from domestic public comments. Yelp is very popular in America. You can check the local restaurant or specialty store, understand the various preferential information provided by the store, and make a reservation directly through the app.

Even if some shops don't have their own websites, they will be displayed in yelp's files, which is very considerate to users and has made yelp have a stable usage rate in the United States.
