4 Travel Apps to Get Excited About This Spring

Written by Audra Oliver | 02-Apr-2015 11:16:00

We know you are planning a trip. How? We just do. We also know the 4 latest apps that will make sure you see, do, play and live your trip to the fullest. After all what can be done without an app these days? Nothing! So check out these great new apps and take Easter or your May bank holiday trips to the next level. 

 

1. Seasonal Cities

 

Seasonal Cities is a unique travel app offering seasonal city guides, updated every three months with brand new content. These insider guides to 11 of the world’s top cities are also written by leading travel journalists who actually live there. This means that you get the very best out of your destination or home city as the seasons and weather change throughout the year.

 

The app also has a unique weather function which suggests the best indoor and outdoor venues and activities in the guides, tailored to the weather up to three days in advance. So if it is hot and sunny in Barcelona, the app will tell you about a great rooftop restaurant or bar that’s just opened. If it is cold and raining in Tokyo, it will bring you the best museum or café to take shelter in. The app is £.69 to download and is available from iTunes / Apple Store.

 

2. Spotted by Locals

 

Spotted by Locals is a group of city guides with up to date tips by locals in 61 cities in Europe & North America. The app creators handpick locals (Spotters) and meet them in person in their city. Spotters live in the city they write about, speak the local language, write only about their favourite spots, and keep their articles up-to-date. It is a sure fire way to make sure you don’t end up at Planet Hollywood or a restaurant with a bunch of tourists. The app is available for Android and iPhones and costs $3.99.

3. Funny or Die Weather

 

For whatever reason, we are as obsessed with the weather as we are with VoIP phones. And we also like a good laugh. Funny or Die Weather (FoDWeather) is the app that provides real weather forecasts that you can use on your trip, or just impress your friends at home with your meteorological knowledge of forecasts, humidity, and pressure. In the app creator’s own words “Funny Or Die Weather will blow the doors off your stupid, boring, old weather app.” Hahahh ok, we are laughing already! You can also share jokes via email, text or social media. 

Download for free on iTunes / Apple Store.

 

4. Bria App

 

This is an app that you can download from iTunes and Google Play, that lets you use your mobile phone just like your office VoIP phone. So when you are away on your trip, and taking that extra day or two, you can make and receive calls from your office phone number – on your mobile! The best thing is it is easy to set up (VTSL support will walk you through it), and easy to use. VoIP phone systems have other features that will help ensure you aren’t missed too badly from the office, such as advanced call routing and multiple device log-in capabilities.
