EXPENSIFY
Keeping
track of receipts while traveling can be challenging, if not outright
impossible. Expensify comes to the rescue by allowing you to take pictures of
receipts. The app scans logs and creates expense reports for you. The “smart
mode” is a delight to use: after uploading your receipt, the app will read it,
fill in the amount and the company name, and will even try to categorize
it.
INSTAPAPER
How
often do you find yourself reading an interesting article online but don’t have
the time to finish it? Instapaper lets you save the article and read it
later at your convenience, and you don’t need an internet connection to access
the saved version. This simple but powerful app features adjustable text sizes,
a dark mode for night reading, a built-in English dictionary, and folders for
organizing articles.
DOCUMENTS
TO GO PREMIUM
This
app’s primary function is to edit documents you receive while you are on the
go. It supports PDF, Word and PowerPoint, among other types of files. You
can also create documents from scratch. A toolbar at the bottom of the page
provides access to common formatting options. There is a search function for
files that reside on your device.
FLIGHT
TRACK
This
is a fun and very useful app that every traveler should have. It can be used to
check your arrival and departure times, and to check an airplane’s position in
the air, inside and outside the USA. It shows information such as delays,
aircraft type, and departure gate. While in the air, it displays arrival gate,
baggage claim number, airspeed and altitude. And, last but definitely not
least, it features beautiful maps.
DOTS
Warning:
play this game at your own risk --it is addictive. Dots have recently
become sort of a phenomenon in the gaming world. It is simple: all you have to
do is connect dots. The experience is fun, bouncy, smooth and hypnotic. It’s
the perfect game when you have to kill time waiting for your next flight.
