2. iTalk Recorder
Sound recordings of your destination are cheaper than trinkets, longer-lived than food, and second only to photographs for the ability to make past moments seem almost tangible. Touch iTalk’s big, red button to record Big Ben’s gong, birdcalls in Costa Rica, or street musicians in Barcelona. The quality is much better than you might expect—you can usually hear things clearly, even at a distance, and you can leave it on for minutes on end without making much of a dent in your memory. Once you get home, run iTalk Sync (also free) on your computer and it will sense your iPhone in Wi-Fi and instantly transfer your soundscapes to your system.

Visiting a city that has a complicated subway system? Punch your origin and destination, as well as the day of the week and time you’re traveling, into 17 MetrO and it will find the shortest ride. Say you’re taking the London Tube from your hotel near Kensington High Street to St. Pancras Station. There are several ways to do it, but MetrO will tell you that the shortest is to change at Paddington for an eight-stop, 25-minute ride (iPad, iPhone; free).

10. The Weather Channel
The Weather Channel app tells you what to expect hourly throughout the day as well as for the next ten days.

Talk about time management (Android, BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, Windows Phone; free).
