Useful Apple iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android Free Apps for Travellers

These are what Tutubi has currently installed in Ring-O (his iPhone 4S) and Claire (his value for money Cherry Mobile Flare) to aid him in his daily dring and regular travels.

DISCLAIMER: Not all of them are listed though. Some apps he used in particular trips like the off-line maps of Singapore and Singapore Transport maps he used in his recent trip to Singapore. If you have other recommended apps for travellers, feel free to leave comments and suggestions:
