Android – Iphone – Applications

iBooks (Free) — The appearance of iBooks is what sets it apart, with illusions of an actual bookcase holding your books and the look of actual book pages. While some other apps have similar aesthetic attributes, iBooks, to me, is the best in that regard. In terms of features iBooks offers, it includes: an iBookstore that enables you to purchase books and read free samples before buying, adjustable screen brightness and font for the easiest reading experience, automatic syncing feature between all devices you own so that everything is on the same page, the ability to highlight and add notes to the text, a page navigator, a function that speaks the words, and the ability to open, read, and store PDFs from email. In the App Store, iBooks is rated 3.5 stars, and while it is an overall good app, users have been frustrated with the amount of bugs in downloading books and some kinks when downloading and opening PDFs.

Good Reader ($0.99) — Good Reader isn’t an e-reader app in the same sense as the previous apps, as it specializes in PDF and TXT files. The app allows you to transfer such files directly from your computer and read them on your device. This includes any books that you download, as long as they are in the proper format and on your computer. The app easily integreates with servers like MobileMe and includes a hyperlink feature so you can quickly jump around in each document as well as a text search option. Good Reader is rated 4 stars on the App Store, and users say they wish there was a way to annotate and mark documents, but the app is otherwise great.

Following Luke’s blog about Kayak, I figured I would delve a bit deeper into the app since I also think it’s a great find particularly during the Summer when the question is not if you should travel, but where to and how. Especially now, during trying economic times, choosing the right place is just as important as ensuring it’s the right cost. That’s where search engines like Kayak.com come in — it allows you to compare every travel site to ensure you’re getting the best deals on the best vacations. However, you may not always have your computer handy when cooking up travel plans, so here’s the good news: Kayak also has a free iPhone app, so you can have the best travel tips in the palm of your hand.

The best part about Kayak is its simplicity – right off the bat you get to choose what it is you’re looking for: Hotels, Flights, Cars, etc. Each element of the app has the same smooth interface — you enter all relevant information, and you are automatically presented with the best listings, sorted by various standards (so you can choose, for example, if you want to go cheap or classy). As I said, all listings are products of compilations from all travel-related sites, so instead of leafing through everything, it’s presented to you in one easy screen. If you decide you like something and want to visit it later or want to share it with someone else, you always have the option to e-mail the link to the search you’ve conducted.

What’s nice is the Kayak app also provides you with information you will need after you’ve already made all the arrangements. For example, through the app, you can see what each U.S. airport offers in terms of restaurants, WiFi, lounges, ATMs, and more. You can also access a flight tracker, airline fees, and a listing of all the trips you’ve booked through Kayak. The app also links you to airline information for all airlines worldwide and gives you the option to share your findings on Facebook and Twitter.

With the Kayak app, booking a vacation is a breeze! No need to pay a travel agent to find deals for you — Kayak will get the best prices in the best places, and, thanks to the app, you can use it anywhere, anytime! This is especially great for spur-of-the-moment trips, grand getaways, and anything in between. However, the only thing I think this powerhouse app is missing is a feature that also lets you book activities in your desired destinations. Deals on tourist attractions, things to do, and even places to eat or nighttime activities could also give Kayak a huge edge. However, for the travel and stay elements of vacations, no app is as comprehensive or money-saving as Kayak.
