APPS For Your Vacation
Do you love you apps as much as I do? Nothing excites me more than to find new apps that I consider cool and fun. Apps are supposed to make your life fun and easy. Here are three apps for you to use when taking your vacation. Here are my top three.
- Hotels by Orbitz- {Free for iPad, iPhone, and Android} Will help you to book your stay. It is an easy way to compare the ratings and price of hotels where you are travelling to. It also shows you whether or not a room is available if you don’t book ahead. How cool is that?
- Disney’s Story App- {Free for iPad, iPhone and Android} This will help you to share your photos fast. It helps you to quickly create albums and videos that you can post to story.us so your family and friends can share in your vacation as well.
- The Krowds App- {Free For iPad, iPhone, and Android} This app lets you view videos that others around you have taken. So you can find out if you are making a guest appearance in someone else’s video.
- Ling App – When you’re traveling to a new country, being able to say more than just “hello” can completely change your experience. While many big-name apps focus on just a handful of European and Asian languages, Ling App is my go-to because it offers over 60 languages, including those hard-to-find ones like Thai, Vietnamese, or even Tagalog. This makes it an essential travel companion if your family is heading off the beaten path. Plus, the app focuses on practical phrases you’ll actually use at a restaurant or hotel, all recorded by native speakers so you can master a natural accent. It’s also incredibly family-friendly! The lessons are broken down into 10-minute gamified challenges and mini-games that even the kids can enjoy in the car or on a plane. You don’t even need Wi-Fi because its offline mode makes sure you can continue the lessons anytime, anywhere. It’s a budget-friendly way to bridge the communication gap and truly connect with the local culture.
