Our pick of the Top 10 Travel Apps
These days it seems there’s an App for pretty much anything you can think of. For some people, Apps are technical wizardry worth 100 times their time in downloads, and to others they are not.
Will they really make me APPier?
Apps are designed to make things more instantly tangible. They are intended to give us the power to take care of both significant and mundane tasks in the palm of our hands, wherever we might be. Different Apps suit different people depending on individual needs, wants and interests – as well as how much time each of us is willing to dedicate to them!
Perhaps through a lack of understanding or genuine disinterest, Apps have their doubters but when it comes to the world of Travel, there really is an app for anything you may possibly need on your holiday.
