Is your phone doing all it can to make your travel easy? There are hundreds of apps to keep you safe, happy and efficient on the road. We’ve created a list of the most helpful apps that we have found for travel, but we want to hear your ideas. Leave us a recommendation in the comments below and tell us what app has changed your trips for the better.

1. Tripit – This app is a great way to manage your trip’s reservations. It acts as a master itinerary, organizing your hotel, flight, car and restaurant reservation details in one place. Avoid frantically searching for tickets or buried emails – plus, you don’t need Wi-Fi to access your information in the app.
2. Google Translate – Going to another country? Don’t worry. Google Translate will help you decipher foreign languages and assist with making sure you aren’t lost in another country. Our favorite feature – the camera that translates photos for you instantly. All you have to do is take a picture of a sign, menu or product and upload it in Google Translate.
3. Best Western To Go – Search more than 4,200 worldwide locations and earn or redeem Best Western Rewards points in this convenient app. Download “Best Western To Go” and book stays, manage reservations or find nearby attractions quickly and easily.
4. LimeBike – Download the LimeBike app to skip taxi rides and save with an affordable eco-friendly option while traveling. LimeBike offers locations around the country where customers can rent a bike for one dollar. Look up a bike near you with the app and ride it to your destination. The dockless bikes make it easy and convenient to get around traffic-filled cities.
5. Smart Traveler – Access updates from the U.S. State Department when you are traveling out of the country. This program allows for international travelers to view basic information about various countries and receive important travel advisories.
