KAYAK 14.1
Easy-to-use interface,
but it doesn't come with instructions
Many travel apps come with instructions of use or a tutorial to show users how to navigate in the app. But Kayak app doesn't come with tips, letting users discover all features by themselves. The app lets users log in to their profiles or use Google+ to create their own accounts.
Kayak has plenty of regional websites, so you can select one of those, to make the app display only local offers. In addition, you can change the currency used in the app.
Book hotel rooms, flights and transportation
The app makes it easy to book flights to whichever destination you need, simply type in the city and the app will find all available flights, together with prices and all flight information you may need. The app connects to other websites for users to complete the booking process.
The same procedure applies when booking hotel rooms, but users have the option of filtering them by price or location. There are plenty of user reviews that you can check before booking a room, which is done on a separate website. Users also have the option of renting cars using the app.
Check
changes in your flight schedule or call your airline
This app truly has everything you need to plan a trip and more. You can manage your trip, track flights and see if they're on time or get notifications when flight prices drop. There's also the option of calling airlines directly from the app and you can create shortcuts for your favorite ones.
The app comes with a currency converter that will surely come in hand if you're traveling abroad. You can also get information on stores and cafes in certain airports or check airfare trends.
Other than that you can create packing lists to make sure you don't forget anything at home. Still, you can try out the Explore feature which shows you how far you can travel based on your budget.
