Apps

A useful travel guide that can be as jam-packed as you decide to make it, with features to boot.

A superlative mapping experience that’s unrivalled on the iPhone, with only a few minor caveats.

The perfect companion for those who really do forget their toothbrush when travelling.

A triumph of function over style, HERE is the perfect antidote for those using iOS 6, but missing the comprehensive features of Google Maps.

An inexpensive, finely developed foreign language app with a bright future, but not one to replace iTranslate any time soon.

A reasonable download if you only travel by train very infrequently, but we much prefer UK Train Times.

Estate and travel agents everywhere rejoice/start to panic – TourWrist could be about to make your lives much easier/see you out of a job. A fun, panoramic app that for free, is a steal.

Not infallible, of course, but a very polished app that presents information about speed cameras clearly.
