The best travel apps. Chosen by the community.
39 travel apps, chosen by the community. Top of this view: DB Navigator — #15 overall. The overall rank spans all apps and changes with every vote. How the ranking works →
Travel apps are usually needed under unhelpful conditions: an unfamiliar city, weak signal, low battery, time pressure. So anyone looking for the best travel apps is mostly looking for reliability.

Practical criteria follow directly. Does the app work offline — maps, tickets, booking confirmations — or do you face a blank page without a connection? How quickly does it surface what matters on the move: boarding pass, platform, seat, next connection? How are changes announced, and do they match what the desk says? For booking apps, add how openly cancellation terms and extra charges are presented, and whether you can reach a human when something goes wrong. And for apps that need continuous location access, it is worth asking how sparingly they use it — on a long trip that helps decide whether the phone still works in the evening. Being able to share documents with fellow travellers, without everyone installing the same app, counts too.
This list reflects community experience: upvotes minus downvotes, updated with every vote. It rates the app, not the company behind it.
