Travelling? Download This - Tripit, TouristEye, TripCase, TripAdvisor, WorldMate



Planning a travel trip is a tedious job but we all love to do it as you know that as a result of our planning and efforts we will have a beautiful travel experience. However, smart people always find out some way to make the tedious job easy. Thankfully, the current digital world has many helpful apps to assist you in travel planning. 

Usually, when you search in the web for good travel planning apps, then you are most likely to get bombarded with apps that will help you in finding good deals in hotels, flights, etc. In the real sense these are not ‘Travel App’ for planning, rather, these are ‘Travel App’ for booking. This blog won’t talk about such travel booking app rather, it will talk about travel planning app. Apps that are helpful in showing up your flight details help you in tracking the flight connection, dig out the rental car or hotel confirmation number and all types of minute details that you require while traveling.

Tripit

Tripit

 It is quite a popular app that needs no introduction. It is not an app to suggest you destination or the ways to spend time in the town you are visiting. Rather it helps you in keeping note of your itineraries, travel confirmations, hotel bookings, tickets, rental car reservations, etc. over one common platform in a complete 
hassle-free way. 

While traveling, it is necessary to have such an app at your disposal if you want to avoid fishing here and there to get that ticket confirmation email, reservation number, flight number, etc. The app is incredibly handy and has many other imperative features. For instance, it sends you an alert if a better seat on your booked flight gets available so that you can switch. 

Using the app, you can also conveniently share your travel plan with others. For instance, you can share details if you are moving abroad for one month and out of concern your parents wish to have the complete details of your traveling. No need to explain the things and give them the details separately, simply share the Tripit custom built itinerary with them. The app is available for Android, iOS, and other platforms. 

TouristEye

TouristEye

 It is a very interesting and unique app, which is neither for getting the best deals nor to keep a note of ticket details. The app lets you create a wish-list of the place you want to visit and the things you wish to do. It’s not that you must have a dream vacation to prepare a wish-list. Even if you are visiting a commonplace or going for a small vacation, then also the app will be handy to you.

Let’s make it simple!  Don’t you seek other’s advice before going to a place, like how will be the weather there, which is the good place to stay, what activities to do there, etc. We all look for such information before setting out for travel. This app helps you in getting such information conveniently and also ensures that you will get more specific and reliable information.

So the idea is to create travel wish list and share it with compatriots using the app. Other users will advise you based on their experiences. Finally, when you get on the roads for the trip, you can refer to those plans to get the detailed information, maps, links and much more.

 TripCase

TripCase



 It is another app that helps you in having a centralized access to all of your travel documentation related to flights, hotels, rental cars, etc. It operates as one common platform over which you can get all your travel related information, like flight number, flight details, rental car booking number, etc.  

That’s not all; the app has something more to offer. Using the app you can send all your booking confirmations directly to the respective vendors and get the things automatically organized for you. The app has a timeline-based "itinerary" view, over which you get a step-by-step itinerary of your complete trip along with the time details. There is an "action" view also through which you can get more detailed information like flight alerts and other notifications. 

TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor

 Is there anyone who has not heard of TripAdvisor? Its web version is one of the most quintessential travel planning services all across the world. The mobile app increases the usability of the service even more over smartphones. 

The app helps you in plotting your trip by providing you the most required advices.
The app lets you learn about various travel destinations, places, and hotels through other traveler’s personal experiences. Through these travelers’ experiences, you can get help in realizing about which is a better place to go or how to go to that place or where to stay there or what activities to do, etc.

Apart from travelers’ shared experiences, the app also publishes its reviews, ratings, photos and other necessary information on hotels, destinations, etc. 

WorldMate

WorldMate

 It is an app for businessmen and frequent travelers. However, you will still find the app handy even if you are an occasional traveler. It is again an app to keep track of your reservations and itineraries. The app lets you add other destinations, meetings, appointments and events that you need to attend during your trip. Before setting out for your tour, you just need to feed all your details in the apps and all information will be available to you at one view. You will get alerts for your meetings; you can share your plans through LinkedIn, and there are lot more features to support your traveling.

Aforementioned is a list of interesting travel apps. Each app is distinct from each other and has their set of advantages. All these apps are accessible through iOS and Android app store.
