3D World Plugs
Read full descriptionHide full description
Electrical plugs and sockets vary across the world, something many travellers only discover when their device does not fit the local outlet. There are 14 main plug types worldwide: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N. World Plugs App helps you travel prepared by providing clear information on plug types, voltages and frequencies used in 218 countries and territories. Beyond simple images and basic explanations, the app includes interactive 3D models and Augmented Reality (AR). Rotate and zoom each plug to examine it from every angle, or project life-size models into your space with AR to compare them directly with your wall socket before you travel. The app also covers global voltage standards (110V–240V) and frequencies (50Hz and 60Hz), helping you determine whether your devices will operate safely abroad. Use the side-by-side comparison feature to compare countries, plug types, voltages and frequencies quickly and clearly. The app focuses on plug types for common travel appliances. Heavy machinery and large stove connectors are not included. Travel prepared. Avoid surprises. Stay powered anywhere in the world.
