5. XE Currency
Convert can convert almost anything, from dollars to pounds (with up-to-the-second rates), yards to kilometers, joules to calories, and even pixels to picas. The app looks great too. Half of the screen is taken up by a basic calculator. The other half features categories and units arranged on appealing iPhone-variety wheels.

6. TripIt
The best ideas are usually the simple ones, and they don’t come much simpler than TripIt: automatically convert your travel booking confirmation emails into an itinerary (synced with your calendar) that stays with you wherever you are. All hotel and flight information are kept in one place, simply by forwarding your confirmations to [email protected] – with minimal manual input required as the system is largely automatic. If you add hotel address details to the itinerary manually, TripIt will then link to a map of the area.

8. Citymapper
There are many apps that offer maps, directions and public transport, but CityMapper offers them all in one place. Enter a starting point (or let the app use your location at the time) and a destination and it does the rest. Suggested journey options are shown with estimated time and cost, including taxi, train, tube, bus, cycle and the quickest of all – catapult (really – one minute from Kings Cross to the Science Museum is fast).
