For amateur and semi-professional group trip leaders I would recommend WeTravel - Itinerary and planning tool for group trips and yoga retreats.
The platform is free of charge to create, manage, and promote group trips. Travelers can then join these trips, using WeTravel’s website to register and pay securely.

Apps I use when i travel!
I like using a few apps for when i finally arrive at my destination. Usually im a repeat traveller (i often go to the same places) but when i go into a new place, i use two apps.
One is called Vacationship - its an app to get you to meet/date locals who can show you the town from their eyes. I had a fun little holiday fling when i was away last. My local match took me to a cool spot to do yoga in the morning and we like each other so we went to a cool bar at night together too. Definitely worth trying because i would never have found them otherwise.
The other is called Sidekix - its an app that shows your how to get to places (like a regular map) with attractions and useful things like ATMs and cool bars along your route. Its also good to show you the most busy and lit up areas so you feel safe.

I like the look of Sidekix.
Google maps does a pretty good job of walking routes already but I'm often thinking of something like:
I need to get from A to B but on the way I want to get some adaptors/shoelaces/food shopping/SIM card/printing done etc or stop for a beer/ice-cream/coffee/dinner with making a huge detour.
Having said that the voracious Google monster is catching up on that too and will soon make all other apps redundant and implode on itself.
the other thing looks like Tinder/Grindr and therefore Inappropriate for me.

Hi Jackdiver!
I'd like to submit flightSpeak to the list. (www.flightspeak.net)
The app is focused on airports - finding places to eat, shop, as well as tips and other content/conversations from travelers in the same airport.
Hope everyone finds this useful.
Feedback most welcome!

This site satisfied a huge, festering need for me, all the direct flights from any airport in the world. Click on a destination airport and the airlines that fly the route show, with weekly schedules as popups. Shows two, three and four stop connections too, for that matter.

I found it on FT, this thread has some related sites and discussion. It appears that the bugs have been worked out.

Hello!
I think you should add AwardFares.com to this list/wiki. Its not an app (yet?) but a web based service to find availability of award fares on Star Alliance airlines. Basic search is free while a premium sub costs $5 a month and lets you do advanced searches and also set up alerts and search further into the future than with the free plan.
Get going by setting an origin airport, maybe a destination and an 'earliest' and 'latest' departure date. Then sort the result on cabin class, number of stops and so on. You can even sort on equipment. For me its the goto search engine to spend my AMEX vouchers.
I would add a screenshot but as a newbie here I'm not yet allowed, sorry.
Disclaimer: I'm not involved other than as an early beta tester back in early 2018.

One of the agencies that I partner with developed this simple but very useful utility for Amadeus and Sabre GDS users.
- Convert PNR segments to client readable format
- Convert PAX names and DOB from email or WhatsApp to GDS format
It helps avoid errors and saves a lot of time.
Demo:
Download a 10 day trial version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iFk...xERr7I50s9lHp/
There is a offer now for $15/mo until July 15 for more than three users (regular license costs $29/mo).
