Travel Tuesday: Travel App that Will Help You Find Everything!

Our goal is to keep you well informed on your travels, whether they’re for business or the next family vacation.    We have found a fabulous app that will help you find anything you want/need when you arrive at your next destination.  Have you ever arrived in a city late at night/early in the morning, you’re hungry and need to grab some cash from the ATM and  the front desk clerk is of absolutely no help to you?  There’s an app for that…lol

‘Around Me’ is a fun app that literally tells you what is around you.  Using your GPS location, ‘Around Me’ lists the nearest banks/ATM machines, coffee shops, gas stations, hotels, movie theaters, parking facilities, restaurants and grocery stores.  Forgot your prescription, don’t worry because ‘Around Me’ also lists the nearest pharmacies.  If you need emergency medical attention it also lists nearby hospitals. 

I really like that this app is super-fast and very easy to use.  Once you open it and you okay your current location, it loads everything within seconds.  Then once you select what it is you are looking for, it lists all the important info and uses ‘Four Square’ for true life photos and reviews. Turn by turn directions are also just a click away whether you’re driving or walking.  My favorite feature is the ‘deals’ section.  This section lists the daily deals of local eateries, delis and restaurants (some with savings upto 60% off).

‘Around Me’ is our favorite kind of app…it’s FREE!  It’s available for download in the app store (for both iPhones & iPads), Android devices and the Windows Phone.   This fabulous app is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Chinese.   I see why it was chosen as the ‘best app ever,’ because it is truly fabulous and functional.
