| Pros Genuinely useful and so simple to use. Cons None really, but it isn't available for Android or Blackberry... yet. |
| Pros Doesn't need an internet connection. Cons Limited Language support, and the language packs don't translate both ways. |
| Pros Augmented reality option makes it even more fun to use! Cons Has been honed for the United States, but other countries could still be improved. |
| Pros Powerful photography app that's simple to use. Cons Image quality isn't great, and it doesn't support the high megapixel cameras on the latest iPhone and iPad. |
| Pros Potentially life-saving app. Cons Doesn't yet cover every country in the world. |
| Pros Take photos of your receipts and invoices and add them to your purchase list for backup. Cons Needs Wi-Fi to keep the exchange rates constantly updated. |
| Pros It does a good job of making sure you pack everything you need, and nothing you don't. Cons Can't actually pack your bag for you. |
| Pros Has been around for a while now so is very accurate and reliable. Cons You won't be able to use the app with charter flights or private aircraft. |
| Pros Being able to communicate with someone when you can't speak their language. Cons Translation still not perfect, so you have to talk slowly and clearly for best results. |
| Pros Avoid paying too much to unscrupulous tour agents. Cons Some tourist destinations aren't covered, especially in developing countries. |
| Pros Organise all your travel details in one place. Cons Boiled down it's just a combination of different apps already available. |
| Pros No need to pay for those guided tours anymore. Cons The app requires the GPS to be permanently while you're recording your track, which can drain the phone battery quickly. |
| Pros Wi-Fi locations are all stored offline. Cons Some of the Wi-Fi listings are out of date and advertisements are irritating. |
| Pros Save time by sending out multiple postcards without having to write each one out. Cons Postcards being sent to countries other than the US, UK, Australia, or Germany will take longer than four days to arrive. |
| Pros The app takes full advantage of the iPhone's Augmented Reality capabilities. Cons Doesn't have a really useful or practical purpose for most travellers. |
| Pros Simple way to get the most out of your trip. Cons A fairly new app, so a few bugs have been reported. |
| Pros Possible to triple your data roaming plan at no extra cost. Cons Doesn't support media streaming or VoIP apps like YouTube or Skype yet. |
| Pros Watching a cab approach you on the map is curiously addictive. Cons You might end up using cabs much more than you usually would. |
| Pros High quality weather reports from Europe's largest independent weather company. Cons Some extra features require in-app purchases. |
| Pros Easy way to quickly learn about what you're looking at, without talking your eyes off it. Cons Still in development so there are quite a few gaps in less travelled areas to fill. |
