It's great for travelers that there are many free apps, especially in the field of travel, that offer exactly what you need. Things you must have on your phone when traveling travel apps, I made a list of the ones I actively use, I hope it will be useful for you too!

You can choose Enuygun to make your travel plans more comprehensive and economical. Enuygun, which has been growing and expanding its service capacity since 2008, can meet all your needs through a single application.

That being the case, you can make your travel plans easily and quickly thanks to Enuygun's user-friendly interface and convenient features.

Maps.me Offline Map App

Travel application that I use most and recommend most during my travels. Maps.me It must be. Before you go, you download the map of the country or region you will go to on your phone, then you can use Maps.me as a map application without the need for internet. As you can use it as a navigation, it is possible to see the nearby gas station, restaurant, places to visit offline. I usually mark the places we will go on the map before we set off, so it is very easy for us to take a route immediately.

Google Maps Offline Map Application

The Google Maps Offline map application, on the other hand, if you know the points you will go to while planning your trip, you can mark and download these points while you have internet, then turn on the GPS and benefit from the navigation feature even if you do not have internet. An application that saves lives in an unfamiliar city most of the time. Compared to Maps.me, my first choice is generally Maps.me, as the navigation feature is less successful for me.

XE Currency Currency Conversion App

XE Currency currency conversion application will give you a great advantage if your travels abroad are constantly spent with foreign currency calculations. If you set the currency type of the country you are visiting before you go, you can easily use it offline. I usually set the currency of the country I will go to as Turkish Lira, Euro and Dollar. Thus, when I need to compare a price, how much does it cost, I don't have to deal with the account book in TL.

Uber Taxi App

The fact that it is widely used in the world and is cheaper than a taxi almost everywhere makes the Uber application unrivaled. It is one of the first travel applications that you must have on your phone, you never know when you will need it.

While Uber is very common and affordable, some countries have their own Uber. For this reason, it is useful to research and download this type of online taxi application to your phone in advance in the country you are going to.

Trip Advisor Travel Planning App

If you're wondering what people who went before you said about places to stay, places to visit and places to eat in the countries you visit, what they recommend and what they warn you about, these are available on Trip Advisor. At the moment, we can say that it is the best travel application in the global sense.

I use Trip Advisor a lot, especially when looking for a restaurant in a place I don't know. But remember, thousands of people like you use the same app, so Trip Advisor top spots are often very crowded.

Piri Guide Audio Guide Application

If you do not go with a tour to the places you go, you need to research the historical and touristic places yourself. Especially in historical places, Piri Guide is a great travel application in order not to miss points such as the history, stories and legends of that place.

You download the content of the place you are going to your phone via the application, it detects the places you visit from your location and tells them aloud. All you need is a headset for your phone.

In addition, if you trust your own knowledge, you can create your own guide content and share it with Piri users.

Booking.com Hotel Reservation Application

Booking.com is one of the applications and websites I have used since the day I started traveling. If you are looking for a place to stay at your destination, it is a system where you can find a wide range of alternatives from hotels to hostels, from villas to apartments, and where you can choose your accommodation by taking advantage of user comments.

You can also download your reservations as an image to your phone, so that information about where you will stay is on your phone even when you do not have internet.

Airbnb Accommodation App

We can say that Airbnb is a new generation accommodation application, it is also called short-term rental.

You can rent your house, room, farm or an experience you have designed through Airbnb. The system, which works on the basis of trust and scoring, allows you to host guests from anywhere in the world.

On the other hand, you can stay in the homes of local people as a guest. If you dig around Airbnb a bit, you'll find that it's an experience solution, not just an accommodation solution. There are such houses that are designed only for Airbnb. For example, Netflix has a program called Stay Here, they talk about how you can make your property more attractive on Airbnb.

Hostel World Accommodation Application

As its name suggests, this accommodation application is specialized for hostels. Since hostel accommodation will make your travel much more economical, it is one of the methods I often use, especially when I travel alone. Hostel World application is an application where you can find thousands of hostels around the world.

Users registered to the system open their homes, rooms and sofas to guests from anywhere in the world. When they go to a place, a local is a guest in someone's house. The system is completely voluntary. You send a message through the application to those who have opened their place at your destination, you stay at the house of those who accept you.

You don't need to use it just for accommodation. If you want me to meet and chat with local people, you can also contact them.

PayBack Travel Budget Tracking Application

Are you one of those who follow the travel budget like me? I even like to write down the money I pay for the toilet, follow up and get my trip cost down to the smallest detail. That's why I've been using Payback for a long time. If you are traveling with a few people, it is also a very practical application to keep track of cost sharing.

Thanks to this application, I can easily prepare my "Travel Cost" articles that I write after each trip.

Runtastic Altimeter Altitude Measurement App

I guess I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that I have an obsession with both maps and altitude tracking. Especially when traveling on mountains and hills, "How many meters are we now?" I constantly wonder. The Altimeter app does this, it's extremely simple, but it's an app that easily defeats my curiosity. If you like to travel high like me, you will also like this application. There are many different applications like this, there is no particular reason why I prefer this one.

Google Translate Translation App

If you don't know the language of the country you are visiting, a translation app will save your life. Google translate travel application is one of the best alternatives in this regard. You can also use it offline if you download the language of the country you are going to in a place where you have internet or without going to the application. Another nice feature is that it translates the texts you have photographed. You can easily translate things that are difficult to understand, such as signs and menus.

Triplist Travel Bag App

If you are a frequent traveler and wonder what other people put in their suitcases on their way to your destinations, you should try this app. You can find many lists of bag contents such as what should be in your bag for business travel, what to have for action travel, suggestions for families with children, and you can create your own list by looking at them.

Bla Bla Car Car Sharing Application

Bla Bla Car is one of the new generation applications that you can use to go from one place to another. Let's say you are going to go from Istanbul to Izmir, the people who will already go that route are making room in their cars this time. We can call it Airbnb's car sharing model. You both share the travel expenses and become a companion for people who do not like to travel alone.

Bookmate Book Reading App

Online book applications are the easiest way for me to read while traveling. Bookmate serves as both a written and audio book application. Thus, you can easily read a book without the need to carry a physical book with you.

Dayuse Hourly Hotel Rental Application

This is one of the applications that I have not used myself, but that I find very interesting. Dayuse is an app that lists hotel rooms that are open during the day and where you can rent and shower for a few hours. Thanks to the application, you can stay 75% cheaper in hotel accommodation where you do not want to stay overnight. Let's say you've been camping for a long time and you just need a place to shower. The Dayuse travel app can save lives in this situation. If anyone has tried it, it would be great if they add their experiences in the comments below.

This is one of the travel applications that I haven't used yet but I'm very curious about Roomer. In the Roomer application, you can rent hotel rooms for people who have to cancel their travels. In this way, your hotel expenses can be up to 80% cheaper.
