This is a great app. Simple and fast, it's like a currency dictionary. You can swap currencies in seconds and type in any amount for a quick check.
God forbid you ever lose your iPad/iPod/iPhone abroad, this is a little tracking app you can link with your Apple account. You can GPS map its location, remotely wipe it, make it beep obnoxiously, and send a message to display for whoever might find it.
The best online dictionary money can't buy (it's free). Seriously wonderful for looking something up on the go. Italian students will appreciate the conjugator function.
If you've taken a language course in the last few years, you've used Google Translate- don't lie, I'm not judging. Or maybe you just like to translate dirty words into Albanian. Either way, this great site is also a great app!
If you have an Apple product you have this app and I can't tell you anything new. But it needs to be on this list because without it there's a good chance I'd be in a dumpster in Thailand right now (too dark?).
Hands down the reason my friends think I understand the NYC Subway system.
Great travel app. I mostly use it to check flight prices during conversations but it has hotels and cars and flight trackers too! Also links to their site to sync your trip agenda.
And finally a shameless plug for my bank. They've saved me more than once on a trip, and they've done it so nicely! Best customer service I've ever experienced. The app is great- you can transfer money and deposit checks right there. The bank also offers very low currency exchange commissions when you use your card abroad (1% vs 3% last time I checked) and no ATM fees. If you're looking for a new bank, here it is.
