If you are anything like me then you get a bit
overwhelmed by the process of app shopping…as an Expat living abroad these are
my must have apps:
 |
No
matter what country I am in I always need to know how much things cost. XE is a great way to easily convert any
currency.
|
 |
A
great app for telling you what the weather is or will be in any place you are,
or any place you plan to travel to.
|
 |
Having
trouble communicating in a foreign country?
This app is great to translate almost any language, via text or
orally.
|
 |
My
favourite booking site for hotel bookings – they offer great deals and if you
use them enough you become a ‘Genius’ booker and get even better deals and
special offers.
|
 |
If
you are not one of those people with a super fancy airline membership card to
access their lounges, then Priority Pass is for you. For an annual fee you get access to any of
the 900 Priority Pass lounges around the world. Download the lounge info with wifi and then
use the app offline when you arrive at any airport.
|
 |
You
can’t beat the Netflix shows on offer for a small monthly fee. And now you can download shows on the app
for offline viewing.
|
 |
Are
you looking for a cheaper accommodation option than a hotel?…the houses and
rooms on offer via Airbnb are a great travel option. I am also a fan of sites like Airbnb that allow
you pay by Paypal.
|
 |
If
you can handle the occasional ad then this app is great for free music. To get the ad-free version you will need to
pay for the app. But in the end the
free version still has less ads than a radio station!
|
 |
And
lastly, for a little bit of light entertainment…Words With Friends is an app
where you can play scrabble with your friends (as opposed to playing against
AI). Beware…it is slightly addictive.
