Have you ever taken the time to scroll through all the apps available for your smartphone? Probably not, since there are nearly two million of them just in the Apple app store according to Apple’s website. No wonder it can be near impossible to figure out which ones are the best travel apps for solo female travelers. Today, I am sharing the best travel apps with you, so you can be prepared for your next vacation.

Best Travel Apps for Solo Female Travelers

Google Maps

If you have never used Google Maps before, you are in for a treat while traveling. This is one of the best travel apps, because it offers an offline maps feature.

Utilize the comprehensive map for real-time GPS navigation, traffic conditions, and even public transportation schedules.

WiFi Map

Do you love sending pictures and updates back home? Or updating your social media accounts while traveling?

If you do, check out WiFi Map. This travel app will help you find free Wi-Fi hotspots around the world.

It is important to note that others have access to these hotspots. So, if you do use this app, be careful while utilizing passwords and sharing personal information.

bSafe

Staying safe as a female solo traveler is easier when you install the bSafe app on your smartphone. This personal safety app offers features that include location sharing, an SOS button, and voice-activated alerts.

Your friends and family will be able to track your location too, so they will always know where you are.

See why solo female travelers should embrace vacations! 

Meetup

The Meetup app has been around for a while now. It is an excellent option for finding local events when you are traveling.

If you are looking for authentic local activities while traveling, Meetup may offer a few ideas.

Google Translate

You may not be able to speak every foreign language fluently while traveling the world. However, you should be able to translate English to another language using Google Translate.

This travel app has more than one hundred languages available. Plus, it supports text, voice, and image translations.

Imagine having help communicating with the locals, reading signs, and even understanding exactly what is on menus. This travel app can be a gamechanger during your travels.

Uber/Lyft

Uber and Lyft are ride-sharing apps. In fact, you may have used one of these apps right here in the US.

You will be happy to know that these apps are also available in many cities around the world. A ride-share is a safe way to get back to your hotel, especially at night or when you are in an unfamiliar area.

It is important that you take the same safety measures while using Uber or Lyft as you do here. Check out the driver’s ratings and compare license plates and photos.

These are some of the best travel apps you can use as a solo female traveler. Of course, don’t forget to download the airline app for your flights and your hotel’s app if there is one available. All these apps can be quite helpful while you are traveling and seeing new destinations.
