It’s so nice to be able to show people a word if the pronunciation isn’t working out. That XE app is probably my most used.

I’m glad you found it helpful! I definitely agree about the map apps. I’ve also found some nice places I wouldn’t have known about otherwise.

It’s so much easier to let Google Maps navigate than having to figure out the directions and exits myself, though I’m thinking Maps With Me Pro is worth having as well. That’s a really nice list! Thanks for sharing. I’m pinning it to my “Practical Information for Traveling” board!

I’m off to download it now. XE Currency is brilliant.

I’ve spoken with them a while ago actually. The app looks pretty amazing, but its compatibility isn’t as widespread, and I can’t use it on my phone. Can’t recommend something I can’t use. 😉

It is an augmented reality app that is great when you want to find a restaurant, cafe, museum, gas station, around you, get directions, reviews and a website. PLEASE give it a go, I think you’ll find it extremely useful.

Not going to lie, I do know the developer of WAM, but I wouldn’t recommend something unless it really was amazing!

Kind of mean she doesn’t let you play with the phone! 😉

I started putting a list like this together, but my wife and I share one phone, and after I downloaded a bunch of them, I didn’t get to use the phone enough to test them out. You just saved me a bunch of time!
