Here is what Apple Ads had to say about this app:

“Imagine a guidebook that speaks to you. With your iPhone as your audio guide you’ll get the scoop on landmarks, historic sites and more – in countless cities worldwide – without taking your eyes off the sights.”

IAmHere

Trying to meet up with a friend in a foreign city? Or wanting to let your mum know exactly where you are? This app allows you to check in to where you are and then send an email to those you choose. Cool, huh?

World Customs

Each day you can learn a fact that is invaluable to even the most cultured traveller. Did you know it’s rude to blow your nose in public in Nepal? Neither did we.

Skype

Every tech savvy travelers “must-have”. Communicate easily and, more importantly, cheaply with home. Skype-to-skype calls are free… a word every traveler on a budget loves to hear!

Babelingo

A translation app for those all important phrases that you need to know when traveling. “How much is the fish ball soup?” is a vital phrase you’ll need to know in China.
