Haloooooo! Here we are back again to continue with my 5 Favourite iPhone App Series, where I’m sharing with you my 5 fav apps on various different topics each week for four weeks. Last week, we looked at my 5 fav iPhone Apps for learning Indonesian. You can check it out here.
Today to follow on with my 5 Fav iPhone App Series, I’m focussing on my 5 fav iPhone apps for travel in Indonesia. Of course when it comes to travel {anywhere in the world} my go to apps are Trip Advisor and Agoda. I can’t live without them prior to travelling and whilst on the road. Seriously – THE best! I’m sure you’d all agree. They give you so much inspiration for not only where to go, but also what to do when you’re there. This Westpac guide is also a must if you need a little helping saving up for your next experience.
And whenever I travel to Indonesia specifically, I’m always on the lookout for a new travel app to download as I think they are one of the most difficult apps to find. There are quite a few out there but when it comes to quality and accuracy, it can be quite difficult to find just the right thing. I’ve also found it almost impossible to find a travel app that covers all of Indonesia. I know…I guess this is quite understandable…imagine developing an app and all the information to cover all 18,000 islands in Indonesia!? Almost impossible, right? If ONLY I had the time and the money to do it! I’d do it, for sure! {It would be a lifetime project ha!} We are lucky that we are in this digital age where we can have these types of apps, and research blogs for traveling such as https://www.tinkerpopbook.com/helpful-tips-for-anyone-traveling-abroad-for-the-first-time/, so we aren’t stuck with what to do when we are abroad and traveling.
But let’s get into it.
My 5 Favourite iPhone Apps for Travel in Indonesia
1. Little Miss Bali {By DYNOMIC}
Little Miss Bali is possibly one the most well known travel apps for Indonesia, however be aware that as its title suggests, it’s ONLY about Bali {and mostly the southern end of Bali} and does not cover other places in Indonesia. So, if you are travelling to Bali – this is definitely the app for you and I’d highly recommend it!
Even though I have been travelling to Bali since I was 14 years old and I have lived there for an extended period of time too, I still find the app useful with it’s current and up-to-date info on various topics. Bali is forever developing and from year to year when I am there, I notice changes all the time. One year’s favourite restaurant or bar may not even be there the following year! So it’s great to have this up-to-date info right in your hand!
The Little Miss Bali app contains some of the best personal recommendations for hotels, villas, places to eat, shopping, surfing, babysitting and much, much, more. It will also keep you up to date with Bali weather forecasts, the current exchange rate for the Indonesian Rupiah to the Australian dollar and more importantly contact details for the Australian Consulate and Medical Centres and hospitals in Bali too.
Little Miss Bali is the must have guide for enjoying Bali, don’t leave home without it.

2. The Lembongan Traveller {By Lisa White}
Another wonderful travel app for Indonesia but again as its title suggests, The Lembongan Traveller App is your guide to Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan {two small islands off Bali}. Book your next holiday and escape to a villa, resort or bungalow with crystal clear waters and a laid back village vibe only 30 minutes from Bali.
The Lembongan Traveller app covers all the things you might want to do and the information needed to do it. By day you can relax by the pool, surf, dive, snorkel, treat yourself to a massage or take time out doing yoga. If you are a keen yoga fan, you might even be able to find a yoga teachers training course to pass the time. By night enjoy cocktails, dining at warungs renowned for their local cuisine or indulge in a culinary experience at one of the island’s most popular restaurants. Topics cover: Stay, Eat, Play, Relax, Transfers from Bali, Island Info, Weddings and Events, Day Trips and other Useful info. There’s heaps of up-to-date info in this app!
The Lembongan Traveller is 100% Australian owned, and offers the service of contacting them via phone or email for FREE advice on where to stay, what to do, best places to eat, family friendly help and any other questions you may have. Not a bad service! So, if you are planning a trip to Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Ceningan, this is the app for you!
