8 iPhone Apps No Traveler Should Go Without

It happens to everyone: your trip gets thrown into a rut when you find out you don’t have the right paperwork.  Perhaps your boss forgot to claim your frequent flyer miles or you can’t remember the company card number for your car rental. We understand that today’s busy lifestyle forces you to juggle whatever life throws at you and that’s why we developed the Doc Keeper app for the iPhone.

You have enough to worry about on a business trip. Whether dazzling the company with the presentation you’ve spent months working on to keeping track of what gifts you promised to bring back for your kids, sometimes travel hassles seem inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

The iPhone has quickly become something of a Swiss Army Knife of apps to handle all life’s hiccups.  Ensure you have the right ones at your fingertips for your next trip. Here are some of our favorite iPhone apps to help make your travels a little more fun (and keep it pain free):

TripIt: Get notices for your flight arrival (or delays), make trip itineraries, and keep track of all those business expenses using this iPhone companion to the Travel website.
Yelp: Since you’re never sure where to eat in a new town, Yelp is the ideal app to find nearby restaurants for any taste and price range.  The iPhone app makes it easy to leave tips for future visitors.
GorillaCam: This free app gives your camera features usually included with paid apps: grid lines, a level, and a timer to take that perfect self-portrait to show everyone back home.
Dropbox: Just in case your presentation notes get dropped, use this free online server to backup all of your work documents for remote, secure access when you need them. Bonus: the iPhone app lets you read your docs when you’re offline (like when you’re on the plane ride).
Bump: For whoever you meet along the way, never get caught without a business card again using this contact info exchange app.
iTranslate: Ideal for international travel, this app works best when you need help finding the right words.  Using the text to speech makes it easy for language beginners too.
Foursquare:  Use this location-based game to tell your friends where to meet up after work, or just to make your followers on Twitter jealous as you hit up the hot spots on the road.

and of course:

Doc Keeper has all the information you need to make your next trip hassle free.  From the calling cards you forgot to pack to the passport information of your whole family, Doc Keeper has got you covered when you need a backup copy of all your critical information safely accessible on the iPhone in your pocket.

With a new arsenal of iPhone apps to carry with you on your travels, you should be fully equipped to take on your next trip carefree and with confidence.
