Uber by Ubercab - Limited cities but growing How would you rate taxi magic? Altoid Jul 17, 12, 10:51 am Yelp/Zagat - for businesses/food. Trip it - to plan trips. Gas buddy - if it's a road trip. Kayak - if I need to plan a quick flight/book a room on the go. Weather channel - Need to know the weather! Bank/CC app - I know they aren't really travel apps but nice to be able to log in on the go and check finances. edsh Jul 17, 12, 1:20 pm How would you rate taxi magic? I've used it twice so far (in Boston) and it has worked great both times. I set up a pickup time the night before, automated call goes to your cell phone when the cab arrives. You can punch numbers on the phone to let the driver know how long to wait. Home address is saved for reuse. It sure beats having to call early in the morning and talk to a dispatcher. Highly recommended. williemaykit Jul 17, 12, 1:45 pm Worldmate is another trip organiser. Its been around for years. Destination Guides. Some of the tourism boards like Hong Kong have decent apps.

It's free and so is the basic Seat Alert service. I suspect an Android version will be coming soon as well. |
