Trip Advice and Apps

But there’s really no need to worry.

So whatever you do, don’t panic. Next time you’re getting ready for a trip check out these apps and they will help you on your journey from start to finish.

Weather Live Free

This weather app from Apalon Apps for Android is about as informative and as easy to use as they come. It has all the information you will need throughout your journey at your fingertips.

Of course Weather Live has all of the important stats that you will need: current temperature, current and possible precipitation, wind direction and speed and even a sunrise/sunset time so you can plan those early-morning adventures. But it also has an constantly-updated weather radar that works anywhere in the world and lets you keep track of storm systems that may threaten your day.

The best feature, however, is the widget. You can customize the widget to show as much — or as little — information as you want directly on your homescreen. This eliminates the need to even open the app, so you can get a quick glance at the weather forecast whenever you want.

Unexpected wet weather could ruin your travel plan badly.

This app shows you traffic conditions from all around the country, including side roads and neighborhoods as well as the major thoroughfares. It will keep you up to date on traffic jams, construction zones, speed traps, closings and more. It works because the community of users report directly to the app as they travel, so it’s up-to-the-minute. It can even help you find the cheapest gas!
