App List

I have a friend who is leaving for a 5-week trip to Mexico tomorrow and just got a new iPhone. I had some suggestions for apps to get before departure, and while I was looking for the links I found a few additional ones. I thought I'd put them here because it's a pretty good list IMHO...


Hi friend!
It was nice chatting with you last night! I hope everything is going
well with your preparations to leave tomorrow.

As promised, here are some apps that I recommend for your trip, and
some additional fun ones for anytime.

WiFi Finder -- Haven't used this, but looks helpful.

Flight Aware -- I use this one for tracking flights when family is traveling. I think it would be helpful for you, too.

Converter+ -- for currency, metric, tips, etc.. I like this one but don't have a use for it often.

Air BnB -- This one was a lifesaver when we were trying to find places to stay in Europe. You can sub-let people's apartments through this one.

Google Search -- Just found this. It has "Google Goggles" which tells you what something is by taking a picture of it. Wow!
