Under the Local Guides and Tools section, I suggest: FLIO.
In unfamiliar airports, this app is great at helping you find all of the services available in that airport. For example, I was at Incheon for the first time this year. Through FLIO, I instantly knew about free tours into the city for layovers, the free Korean history museum inside the airport, the ice skating rink inside the airport, the spa, showers, all food places, etc. This app really does a good job of keeping all information in one place.

just returned form maui and used the GyPSy guide app.
Best $10 I have spent. It was like having a private tour guide in the car.
Told you lots of info. Where to stop what to see.
Used it all over the island but especially on Road to Hana.
mostly guides for US and Canada destinations.

The MetroMan app(s) are fantastic if you think you’ll venture out on the subways/metros in cities you’re visiting. I used it for China and was able to search by city to get the subway map for it and then search by different subway stations to find out how to get between each one, where to make switches, and how much the entire trip would cost (so that I knew what ticket to buy) and the time it would take. They do have different apps for some different cities as well including Tokyo, Mexico City, London, Madrid, etc

Wow, I just spent 10 days on Maui. We loved GyPSy. I highly recommend this app, I would be happy to pay much more. The Narrator was easy to listen to and added lots of humour to the journey. All ages enjoyed it. The kids were always asking me to turn GyPSy one. It was nice to hear things like skip this lookout, the one around the corner is better. Saves time and I feel like I didn't miss out on something I also described what was coming up so you were prepared when you arrived. I will definitely use it on other driving trips.
