What travel, aviation & other related apps do you use?

[erkpod]

Apart from the AFF app, which travel, aviation & other related apps do you use? There's a lot of apps out there so I thought I'd ask which ones get your tick of approval.


When mentioning apps, it would be handy to mention your OS platform & if the app is a free or paid one if there are 2 versions.


As for me (iOS - all free except TripView):

AFF
VA Flight Specials
VA Entertainment
TripIt
Live ATC
Flight Board
Plane Finder
Agoda
Global Wallet
Skyscanner
Sydney Airport
Cities (for timezone conversions)
Weatherzone
TripView (Sydney public transit)
xe Currency

I'm on iOS and have a lot of apps, but hardly use them all.

FlightRadar24 Pro is a good one for me, enables me to see what just flew over my head.

None specifically for travel... The closest to a "travel" app I have is Skype...
Then again I prefer accessing websites over downloading an app which IMHO half the time seems to have less features and is more difficult to use than it's web counterpart...

I can see my bookings in the Qantas app

I also have a cruise app and a couple of quick access banking apps that are easy to use when travelling.

1. TripIt
2. XE Currency
3. American Airlines
4. Delta (Don't know why I still have this app )

iOS or Android version?

I have had issues with the Android one from day one. Reported to QF, acknowledged and then ignored.

I use most of the ones that have been listed plus a few work related ones like Concur. I really like Flight Aware, most of the time you can track your inbound aircraft to get a heads up on any potential delays.

If you're on a tablet, I agree. However on a phone, an app can do most of the things I want it to.

Concur
TripIt (by Concur)

did I mention Concur?

 

[suparockin]

Tripit is amazing, couldn't live without it. I would go far as to say that it's the most useful app I have.
