We’ve been trawling the net and we’ve found some more great apps to add to your smartphone when you’re travelling Australia. Get downloading, and let us know if you have any others to add.
Pocket
Australia and the internet aren’t always best friends, especially when you’re doing things off the beaten track or exploring the Northern Territory. That’s why Pocket’s great. This free app lets you save text, images and videos anywhere, anytime and send them to your friends’ Pockets or e-mail/social media accounts.
The app currently has over 17 million users with over 1 billion items saved items to date. There’s no need to have access to the internet as once the item is stored on Pocket, you can view it whenever and wherever you want.

Flipboard
This app lets you collect stories, articles, images and videos from the sites and publications you love and create your own personal magazine. Gather information from an endless range of content, from the New York Times to Grazia.
It’s perfect for long train and bus journeys across Australia’s endless flat, dusty bits. You can also connect with social media and check out what your friends and followers are up to as well.

This app lets you connect with others in a particular destination as well as offering tips, reviews and recommendations. It allows you to define who you want to connect with and helps you create a very specific profile about your requirements. You can view events as well as create them and most helpfully, there is a Wi-Fi finder.
