Bento: Local Travel Apps

Land in a new country knowing which app gets you a taxi, which one delivers dinner and how the corner shop expects to be paid. Pick a destination and get the shortlist: ride hailing, food delivery, payments, transit, messaging, navigation, shopping and more. Every app comes with a short note on what it is good for and what to watch out for. The ones that really matter are marked essential, so a short trip does not start with an evening of downloads. WHAT IS INSIDE - 101 countries, from Japan, Thailand and Turkey to Morocco, Mexico and Uzbekistan - Close to 800 apps, researched with local sources - Mobile data for every country: eSIM or local SIM, ID registration rules, where to buy and what a tourist plan usually costs - Sources and a last-checked date on every guide MADE FOR THE ROAD Every guide ships inside the app, so Bento works at the airport before you have a SIM, on the plane and wherever roaming is expensive. When you are online, it downloads guide updates in the background. Tap Get on any app and the App Store opens on the right listing. No account, no sign-up and no ads. Anonymous usage analytics and crash reports help us improve the guides, as described in our privacy policy. Bento is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Italian, and follows your phone's language. Made by a full-time traveler who has spent years using these apps on the ground.
