The last time I checked it\u2019s still July and still summer. Which is why this month, I\u2019d like to introduce another useful travel app: WHERE. Right here, in this column. No, WHERE is the name of the travel app I\u2019m talking about. I\u2019d also like to recommend Mint and Hamilton Mobile CapTel, two very useful and popular apps, especially if you plan to do any traveling this summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>WHERE Lite<\/a>: <\/strong>If you\u2019re in a strange neighborhood, who you gonna call? Forget Ghostbusters. Your best bet may be to use the free Android app WHERE. This app helps you discover nearby restaurants, bars, stores, and more with just a few taps. You get access to special offers and deals at local businesses, as well. And you can save your favorite places and share them with friends. Nearly 50,000 users have given WHERE a grade of 4.3. One WHERE fan believes “there\u2019s not much you can\u2019t find with the app.” Another user summed the app up nicely: “Where is amazing!” And still another said, \u201cI’ve been a longtime owner of this app and it has never failed me, at all!\u201d Simply put, WHERE answers the question: Where should I go next?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mint<\/a>: <\/strong>There\u2019s an old expression that goes, \u201cRich or poor, it\u2019s nice to have money.\u201d No matter how much or how little money you might have in your checking account, it\u2019s good to know how much is really in there at any point in time. You\u2019d probably also like to know if you are over or under your monthly budget. Mint is a free, password-protected Android app that can tell you these things and more. The app enables you to track, budget, and manage your money\u2014all from your smartphone. Mint users have awarded the app a grade of 4.1. But that\u2019s not all. In January of this year, Lifehacker selected Mint as the \u201cBest mobile personal finance tool\u201d; in November of last year, it was a PC Magazine Editor\u2019s Choice; and around the same time last winter Kiplinger\u2019s listed Mint as one of its Must-Have Money Apps. One happy Mint user called it, \u201cThe perfect app if you are looking to control all your expenses.\u201d Mint is full of charts and graphs and can even send you a weekly email about your spending. It\u2019s great for showing others\u2014especially grandkids\u2014how you keep track of your spending.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hamilton Mobile CapTel<\/a>: <\/strong>People who experience hearing loss no longer need to worry about missing out on conversation when traveling. They can download the FREE Hamilton Mobile CapTel Android App on their own at any time. The app enables you to read captions of what’s being said to you during cell phone conversations as you listen and talk with people on the go! In a process that\u2019s similar to captions on a television, word-for-word transcriptions of what’s said are displayed on your smartphone. You\u2019re able to listen to what you can, and read what you can’t hear. Again, the app is free and fully compatible with Consumer Cellular smartphones.<\/p>\n
