Flight Bookers

Skyscanner

Skyscanner
I still do my flight bookings when I’m on my laptop but this is handy to have for checking prices while I’m on mobile, usually while I’m daydreaming about where to go next.

Download App: iPhone | Android

Geolocation

Places Around

Find “Places Around” you including restaurants, hospitals, gas stations, ATMs, movie theatres and more.

Download App: iPhone | [No Android]

Messenger Services

Whatsapp

Whatsapp is my messaging service of choice. Free SMS saves me eating up phone credit, share photos, and send a map of your location to friends.

Download App: iPhone | Android

Viber

Viber is similar to Whatsapp and I have it downloaded for the few friends that prefer to use that over Whatsapp.

Download App: iPhone | Android

GroupMe

GroupMe is a ideal for groups of up to 50. For example I am in a GroupMe for an expat community in Vietnam and it is a good way to announce informal get togethers.

Download App: iPhone | Android

Line

Line has taken over Thailand so if you are messaging locals there the chances are you will be asked for your Line account.

Download App: iPhone | Android

KakaoTalk

KakaoTalk is big in Korea and I use it with one friend.
Download App: iPhone | Android
