Top 5 travel apps for Android

Here's a list of some useful travel apps for this summer:

Gogobot - This travel guide delivers personalized recommendations for places to visit based on user experience. For example, if you're planning a stag party with five friends, you will receive a completely different set of recommendations from those preparing for a family vacation. It recently received a substantial update and is highly regarded in the android community.

Locish - Another travel companion which aims to offer a similar targeted experience as Gogobot, providing specific advice tailored to each user. It also has a feature that let's you ask questions in real time, like "what is the best jazz bar to visit in paris?" where other users can reply straight away.

Nara – A serious app for foodies, Nara offers personalized restaurant recommendations, route guides, and menus, all specific to your tastes.

TripIt - For those constantly making notes of train times and flight schedules, TripIt is for you. TripIt collates information your email inbox to create a convenient itinerary of your travels and also offers weather, maps and directions. It's got a ton of accolades and well worth checking out. (If you're okay with it accessing your email acount!)

Kayak – Travel search engine for hotels, flights and car-hire. It aggregates a whole host of airline and booking companies to ensure the prices are always competitive. I always check this first before booking any flight.

These are just some of my ideas. Anybody else have any?

Thanks for sharing the list, will certainly use more apps next time. For now, it's just Google Maps and Tripadvisor (+ some translator apps, if I don't know the language)

Yeah I don't think I could survive without Google Maps
