The thread has managed to get a good response from other users who have contributed to the applications.
Among the apps, those that offer cheap trips, hotels at a good price and places to leave your bags stand out.
A Twitter user shared a “traveler’s thread“, which focuses on recommending apps that could facilitate your stay, especially in European territory, although the concept applies to any country.
On this thread, many users appreciated his initiative, others even considered contributing their “grain of sand” by commenting on functional applications in the thread.
Without a doubt, the use of apps has conditioned the way in which we experience the world and how we measure the opportunities from their use.
Apps and their need in the world
On the one hand, apps have facilitated communication between the different systems of a society and travel is no exception. With regard to social networks, for example, TikTok has become the most downloaded mobile app from all over the world, managing to get close to 656 million downloads in 2021. Following these are the apps of Meta, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, with 545 million, 416 million and 395 million downloads, respectively.
Likewise, the United Kingdom has become the most lucrative app market in Europe, this speaks of how much the world has changed and how it is increasingly necessary to use them. In fact, According to Statista, income at the national level by app sales amounted to an equivalent of US$3.4 billion that year, with more than half of the total revenue coming through Apple’s App Store.
“Traveler’s thread” recommends the best apps to feel at home
Via Twitter, a user known as @Heterina shared a thread in which she proposed some of the apps that she has used on her travels in Europe.
Some of the alternatives you share, such as couchsurfinghelp tourists find a place to stay in case they don’t have money, or in case they haven’t been able to reserve a hostel.
Another alternative is Luggage Herowith which, as he points out, you can store your luggage in a nearby hotel even if you are not staying there, as long as your objective is to “tourist”.
In the same way, it is recommended to always have travel apps such as Uber, cabify, DiDi and 99 installed, as all of them work in European territory and are considerably more efficient when you have no idea how to get to your destination.
This “Traveler’s Thread” has managed to attract the attention of many Twitter users who not only appreciated his initiative, but also shared some others that are also of vital importance to them when traveling to a foreign territory.
This is the thread shared by the Twitter user:
No one asked me, but I’ll make a thread 🧵 of the apps I’ve used on my trips ✈️ because I’ll delete them from my cell phone and as a tweeter it’s my diary, so I don’t lose the names and their use LOL

Some of the comments this thread has caused:
“There is an application that I use in Europe and my sister in the USA called ‘last minute‘. In it you will find 3 and 4 star hotel offers at a reduced price because they are last minute offers as the rooms have not been sold. highly recommended”, Alexander Davila V.
“’Transit’ It cannot be missing from this thread, much better than Google Maps and much more accurate, this application is really cool when you are traveling”, rickss.
“I return to this tweet to recommend something that saves your pocket in many parts of Europe (I think in the USA too) and it is this app where you can eat with up to 3 pounds in London ‘Too Good To Go‘”, the A; 찬백아기다릴게!!.
And what do you think about this thread? Would you consider using any of these prior to a trip?
