I’ve made a list of my top 5 free travel apps, across all platforms like Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Nokia and Windows Phone.
For those of you who bought Marie Claire last December, you would have seen this list. Since it’s old now but still relevant, I thought I’d publish it for the benefit of those who don’t read MC.
In no order, they are:
1. TripIt

Forward all flight, accommodation and car rental confirmation emails to TripIt and have your digital itinerary wherever you go.
2. AccuWeather

3. TripAdvisor
