Internet access can be a problem while traveling. But this does not mean that you need to bring a million paper cards or a scribbled notebook with useful information about a new place.

In addition, using the application you can select a local tour or entertainment and order it for yourself (for the order itself you need the Internet). Although you cannot book a hotel without the Internet, this is a good way to find something nearby and view options.
