BlaBlaCar
A handy application for those who prefer to travel by car. With its help, you can find a travel companion to almost any city. This application is especially useful when traveling across Europe. For example, getting from Vienna to Venice by train costs about € 100, and a car found through BlaBlaCar will cost no more than € 25. The trip from Innsbruck to Milan will cost the same amount, and a plane ticket in this direction will hardly cost less than € 70. Note also that each driver and passenger in the app has a personal rating, much like in Uber. It will help you navigate with whom you have to spend hours on the road.
Liligo
The new application for searching and buying air tickets does not work in all countries yet, so we recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the list of destinations covered by the application. What makes Liligo unique is that it allows you to tailor the flight exactly to your budget. You are required to set the direction and the amount at which you expect to buy a ticket, after which you will be offered either the options already available, or the request will be saved, and the application will continue to monitor the emerging offers. As soon as your expectations coincide with reality, Liligo will immediately inform you about this, and you can purchase the desired ticket.
Upmind
An app for learning English in a playful way. Firstly, it will help to kill time in a traffic jam, plane, train. Secondly, improve your English, without a basic knowledge of which you still can't travel anywhere. The application works as follows: you see English words illustrated with "gifs", then the same words in English and possible variants of their meanings in Russian. From the options presented, you need to choose the right one. It turns out almost Angry Birds or "Fruit Ninja", but good for the brain. Also in the app you can find real examples of English vocabulary from Twitter and tests.
Booking now
App for fast hotel search on site. It differs from the original source in that it helps to find free rooms in hotels near where you are now. Booking now analyzes guest reviews and housing prices and selects the best value for money, focusing also on your location. Convenient if you are not traveling on a specific route, but at the call of your heart.
Trip Splitter
A great thing for those who are poor at counting money. The application will help you organize your budget for those traveling with a large group of friends, namely, optimize spending on gas, food, lodging and other general expenses. For each traveler, a cell is set up in the general file, where the amount spent by him for general needs is entered. The app then divides the costs by the total number of people on the list and identifies the costs of each. The result is a visual table of who invested in the trip and how.
