TRAVEL APPS
Hopper is a nifty travel app that tells you when it's a good time to book your flight so you get a fantastic price. According to VentureBeat, it's been installed on more than 30 million devices, and it uses a powerful algorithm to compare airfare price points and historical data to help you get a great deal. The app sends you notifications to tell you when prices go down or when it's a good time to book that flight you've been putting off. It also has hidden-city ticketing like the Skiplagged app we previously mentioned.
