There are so many travel apps from which to choose, but which ones are worth the download? A new report in the Guardian suggests some of the most helpful apps for a variety of different needs.
First on the list is an app that helps you make phone calls without Wi-Fi access.
"To make cheap calls around the world without the internet (or faffing around with phonecards), the app to choose is Rebtel. By "hijacking" local phone lines, it gets the best available calling rates," says Will Coldwell.
If you haven't used Google Trips yet, you should. The app is perfect for tracking your travel plans.

"Are you the kind of person who prepares for every trip by getting a manila folder and filling it with every bit of your travel itinerary? Well, Google Trips is like that folder, but without the annoyance of maintaining a tatty pile of paper printouts; the app gathers all your travel information from Gmail and Inbox and organizes it automatically. It also maps out half-day or day itineraries, with suggestions of things to see or do," says Caldwell.
There's even an excellent app for packing.
"Packpoint automatically generates a bespoke packing list for your trip: you just enter the destination, date of travel and length of stay along with some details about the activities you are planning," says Coldwell.
