iOS / iPhones Travel Apps

Hi all
New member here, a bit geek with travel apps / tools...,

Could not find a Top travel Apps for iOS / iPhones in the forums.
I thought I could share the Travel Apps I use, discovered, & favorites,
Let's make this list dynamic, we could edit / add new ones or discuss favorites

My travelling profile would influence the apps I use I guess, but mainly
Miami - NYC frequent
Mia / NYC - London / Paris Monthly
Paris - London frequent w Eurostar.

Native apps I use extensively are Weather, Wallet / Passbook ( E boarding Pass & Train ticket)

Accommodation
Booking.com > Hotels
Airbnb > Peer to peer
Hotel Tonight > Hotel on the last minute
TripAdvisor > Recommendations, Ratings, Hotels booking
Overnight > Just discovered this one, a Last minute room at one's place, like HotelTonight meet Airbnb

Business Expenses Tracking
Concur ( integrates with a lot of apps & tools)

Communications
WhatsApp
Wechat
Skype
Sonetel ( prepay local calls)
Wifi discovery Apps > tried WifiMap & others, not so convincing, 20% connection success rate.

Driving & Itinerary
Google Map > Feels better than Apple Maps
Waze > Gps + traffic alerts

Flights
American > Flights & Miles mgt
Air France > Miles Program mgt
Kayak > Good flight prices
FlightAware > Track flight real time, Gates, Schedule pick up, Notify delays...
LoungeBuddy > Access Lounges , useful when no Airlines or alliance lounges.

Tour & Activities
TimeOut > City Guide, Ticket bookings
HeadOut > Last Minute Tour& Activities
Viator > Tours & Activities

Transport
Uber > Taxi rides
Car2go > City smart cars, pop in, pop out like ZipCar ( they discontinued Miami)

Planification
TripIt > Planification app, don't use it, but seems the best.

What about yours?
