9 Android Applications to Keep with You When Travelling

Today, who does not travel with his cell? These small devices have become unavoidable, if only to allow us to listen to music and take pictures. But since we have them in their hands, why not exploit them to the fullest and use their full potentials.
Here is a small list of 9 of my favorite applications and I can not live without them, plus they are free.

Skyscanner

Available on Android 
As much on my laptop during my research, I use Skyscanner a lot. It allows me to quickly know the best available rates and it also offers them in time, which is convenient if we are flexible in our travels.

Hipmunk

Available on Android 
This app is similar to Expedia and other aggregators of this world, but it offers a bit more. It is possible to push the search for transport with the charters. In addition, the search for accommodation is greatly expanded with access to AirBNB which greatly increases the possibilities.

Currency converter

Available on Android 
Essential to keep an idea of ​​the value of our expenses. With the amount of different currencies, it is easy to get lost especially when you change countries. Imagine arriving in England and changing your Canadian Dollars to Pounds Sterling and then heading to France and changing your Pounds Sterling to Euros! We get lost easily. There are several applications available, but my choice is towards Currency app.

Free Wi-Fi search

Available on Android
Traveling, unless you have an unlocked device and buy chips from the local provider, it could cost you a lot to use the roaming feature of your cellular plan. Also, the use of WI-FI is the most sensible and simplest option. The hotel is fine, but elsewhere? A simple application that allows you to 'scan' the surroundings and tell you where is a free network interests you? Well, here!

Translate It

Available on Android 
Nothing better than to be understood and speak the language of the country. The contacts are more real and sincere. Even if the accent is not perfect, locals will appreciate the effort. Translate It allows you to translate English in 70+ languages with different features. 

Mint T wallet

Available on Android 
Small application handy to keep an idea of ​​our expenses. This application allows you to keep track of your expenses. I do not know if you are like me, but often I do not remember how much had cost me this or that trip, this little software allows us to review everything. The free version only allows us to create an expense report, but allows us to export the data of our trip as a Word file and thus create a new one. For the Iphone version, the same application does not exist, but I propose an alternative.

MAPS & GPS Voice Navigation

Available on Android 
This app connects by GPS and allows you to find nearby places such as Hospitals, ATM, Tourist Places, and tells you the distance from your current location. Also gives you to driving directions.

Tourist Eye

Available on Android
Application of slightly different travel guide. It allows among other things to visit the city from certain angles. What is good is that it is community, which means that everyone can add a travel list. For example, NY Art Guide, the best beaches for surfing ... Possible use offline, but available only in English. Here, you can not find a homeowner equivalent of Iphone.

App of your aviation company

Available on Android 
Most airlines offer you the mobile version of their site. It is interesting to be connected. In order to make your registrations, seat changes or even to know the status of your flight. In addition, you will have access to a wealth of information available in the palm of your hands.

App of your bank

Available on Android 
Nothing better than keeping in touch with your finances and see if you can afford this balloon flight as desired. Most financial institutions offer very effective applications to access their accounts. I am with Desjardins and am super satisfied with their application, but I also heard a lot of good on some others.

There are obviously many others, but they may be less essential. I would like to know your suggestions to make new discoveries.
