Also XE currency is very helpful.

-XE currency
-AirBnB
-Rick Steves has free audio downloads of some of the walks in his books - I print out the map and download the audio before I go.

-If I'm not flying United I download the app for whichever airline I am flying so I can check in for return flights, check status, etc.
