Pretty and practical travel app: Trip Rider

Posted on 19 August 2013

Trip Rider is a great travel app for managing your trips.

It takes the form of a vintage-looking notebook for organizing, sharing and keeping all your travel info in one place – kind of like a virtual travel journal or scrapbook. It’s beautifully designed with a vintage sepia look that is a pleasure to work with.

Use this app to manage your next trip that works offline, which is useful if you’re travelling to isolated places. You can use the app to prepare for your next adventure with packing lists and day planners to organise a travel itinerary.

It comes with a wallet feature that safely stores any important documents, credit card info and tickets.

Although Trip Rider doesn’t have it’s own maps, you can use it to store photographs of maps you think you may need on your travels, which isn’t a bad idea if it’s not covered by Google Maps or the internet signal is sketchy – and you won’t look like a lost tourist ruffling the map about.

You can also use Trip Rider to track your spending, check currency exchange rates and best manage your travel budget.

 

You can plan many trips to detail - including currency value and travel budget

Other great features include a travel photo album, daily diary, quick notes and the ability to share all the info with your friends.

Is it worth it?

If you love collecting snaps, all the memories and every travel detail it’s a nice buy. I like it from the organisational aspect (especially travel budgeting) and the way the app works as a complete package.

Plus, it counts down the days until you leave – it’s about getting excited to travel and doing the research to make the most of it.

Costs about R39,99 from the Apple App Store
