The Best iPhone Apps for Travelers

iPhone App: Inn Touch

Price: Free

Road-trip salvation. ILoveInns.com, the web-based B&B finder, created this app to search for nearby guesthouses based on your GPS location in the U.S. (you can also search by city before you leave home). Tapping a property brings up descriptions, inn-provided photos, price ranges, user reviews, video (for some properties), and those all-important “call” and “e-mail” buttons for contacting the inn directly. American Historic Inns inspects and vets each property, which many Kayak and Travelocity searches consider off the grid. Bonus: there’s a section of recipes provided by some of the inns (cinnamon-raisin bread pudding from Grandma’s Cottage in Virginia, anyone?).
