If you have an iPhone it will probably go everywhere that you do and you will refer to it constantly. Most people with an iPhone will have loads of apps on it that range from the fun to the more serious, but did you know that you can have a happier and safer holiday with some of the apps that are available?
Here are some of the best that will help you to have a safe and more enjoyable holiday.
App for overseas weather – the Weather+ app is not only easy to use it will give you a five day forecast of the weather in the resort you will be at, information on cloud cover, time and date features and a useful weather report that is updated at three hourly intervals. This app can be used by sunbathers, people who plan on hiking or walking and for pilots. For those of you that are planning on travelling to different places while on holiday you can switch between locations to get an idea of what the weather will be like in your next destination.
Met Office app – this is ideal for anyone who wants to know what the weather will be like in the UK. The app is powered by GPS which means that it will update your location and give you information on the weather. This is vital for people who will be venturing into the hills or mountains in the UK in addition to being helpful for sunbathers. The five day forecast feature can help you to plan activities in advance.
Overseas calls – if you are going to Mexico, Russia, India, the US, the UK or Canada make sure that you download Voxofon’s International Calls app that can also be used to send SMS messages if you are in an emergency. The company that created the app is located in the US but the app works in all of the countries listed. It has low rates for calls and will allow you to make send free IM’s and free Skype, GTalk and VoiP calls.
BT app – this is handy if you have an iPhone or an Android phone and you are a BT customer. The app will log you into the closest BT FON WiFi or BT Open Zone WiFi spots (there are currently more than 1.5 million of these hotspots all over the world) allowing you to make free calls or send free messages while you are on holiday.
iPhone Apps can also help you detect road information when travelling abroad. If you do suffer an road traffic collision abroad you can claim compensation with the help of a specialist solicitor.
