Traveling often means dealing with spotty connections and expensive data plans. Luckily, many iPhone apps work perfectly offline, helping you stay organized and entertained without burning through roaming charges. Here are seven of the best apps to download before your next getaway.
1. Maps.me — Reliable Offline Navigation
Maps.me lets you download entire regions so you can navigate cities, trails, and attractions without the internet. Turn-by-turn directions and detailed points of interest make it a traveler’s essential.
2. Google Translate (Offline Mode)
While Google Translate is known for its online capabilities, you can download language packs for offline use. It’s perfect for deciphering menus, signs, or quick conversations when Wi-Fi is nowhere to be found.
3. Here WeGo — Detailed City Maps
Here WeGo offers rich offline maps with transit information for hundreds of cities. Download the cities you’re visiting and get directions for driving, walking, or public transportation without a data connection.
4. XE Currency — Accurate Exchange Rates
Keep track of spending abroad by storing currency rates before you depart. XE Currency works offline to provide quick conversions anytime you need to check prices in a local market.
5. Trail Wallet — Expense Tracking on the Go
Trail Wallet keeps a running tally of your travel budget. Because it stores information locally, you can log purchases offline and sync later if you choose. It’s a lightweight way to stay mindful of your finances.
6. LocalOne Sounds — Relax Anywhere
Long layovers or noisy hotel rooms are no match for LocalOne Sounds. This fully offline app plays high-quality ambient audio to help you rest or focus, even when you’re far from home.

Need a break during your travels? LocalOne Crosswords delivers a new crossword every day, completely offline. No account, no tracking—just pure puzzle fun whenever you have a spare moment.
With these apps, you can explore confidently and keep your trip running smoothly, all while protecting your privacy and your wallet. Download them before you leave, and you’ll be ready to travel anywhere—no Wi-Fi required.
