Your pocket-sized solution to a more productive, efficient and stress-free corporate travel experience. We’ve listed 8 of the best apps for business travellers in 2019.
2. VPN Proxy Master
App 1:
Data security when travelling for business is paramount when
making online transactions on a company card or sending
private data abroad. VPN Proxy Master provides a secure
Internet connection and anonymous browsing, preventing any
nasty surprises when connecting to public Wi-Fi in unfamiliar
places. As a bonus, the app gives you access to video content
no matter what country you are in – meaning you can keep up
to date with your favourite Netflix series even when travelling
to a country that doesn’t host it.
Available on IOS and Android.
3. Yoink
App 2:
This app is the ultimate digital shelf for all the ‘save it for later’
content you browse through on your iPhone or iPad. It collects
text, images, links, emails – basically any content that you can
electronically drag and drop. Yoink syncs your content across
devices using iCloud, allowing users to conveniently access
files on any device as required. The app integrates into your
phone keyboard, meaning you can easily insert files you have
saved when typing an email or text.
Available on IOS only.
4. CTM Mobile
App 3:
CTM’s proprietary booking technology can be accessed
anytime, anywhere, through the CTM Mobile app. Take control
by booking domestic and international air, hotel and rail on the
go and in line with your company’s policy. Stay informed with
personalised notifications delivered when and where you need
them, including flight status, gate changes, directions and
more. Get organised thanks to Trip Feed, where you’ll find all
your trip details at your fingertips in one place.
Available on IOS and Android.
5. Freeletics
App 4:
Freeletics is a free fitness training programme that provides a
quick and effective workout anywhere for the busy business
traveller. Best of all, it doesn’t require a gym or even weights,
just some time and space. With over 900 pre-programmed
options, you’re spoiled for choice with workouts for every level
of fitness.
Available on IOS and Android.
6. Calm
App 5:
While we are well aware of the physical effects business travel
has on our bodies, it is just as important to take care of your
mental health when on the go. Named one of the ‘BEST of
2018’ apps, Calm is the perfect app to help you unplug and
meditate, whether at the lounge, during your flight, or in the
comfort of your hotel room. This app is ideal for travellers to
help sustain healthy stress levels and sleep patterns, which is
needed for maintaining productivity on the go. The app offers
free seven-day trial and can then be purchased for an annual
subscription fee of £35.99.
Available on IOS and Android.
7. London Heathrow Airport
App 6:
Whether you’re a Heathrow regular or a once-off visitor, the
Heathrow Airport App is the ideal travel companion with flight
tracking, car park booking and retail deals. An interactive
airport map helps you navigate through the airport, and by
pre-ordering your food and drink you can skip the queue and
collect your meal on your way to the gate. You can even collect
Heathrow Rewards points and redeem through the app.
Available on IOS and Android.
8. FullContact
App 7:
This free cloud-based app makes it easy to store, organise
and sync new contacts from multiple sources (including
Google, Exchange and Office 365) across all devices. In an
age where social media is king, FullContact also allows you
to save contact social handles, including LinkedIn Contacts,
for easy recall in future. However, the best feature is the card
reader which lets you easily scan and save business cards
directly into your phone’s contact book.
Available on IOS and Android.
9. Maps.Me
App 8:
Travelling somewhere new? Maps.Me provides incredibly
detailed, free, offline maps for cities all over the world. Unlike
other popular map sources, Maps.Me utilises open-source
data from OpenStreetMap, meaning maps are up-to-date and
reliable – providing real time traffic information and intricate
details such as hiking trails. Simply download your city map
while connected to Wi-Fi and use it free of charge without
requiring an Internet connection – the perfect solution when
travelling to isolated areas or to countries where your phone
network does not operate.
