Useful Apps to Download for Your Trip to San Francisco

Apps were invented to make our lives easier, and sometimes we need all the help we can get – especially during our travels. Here at Stanford Court Hotel, we’ve compiled the very best apps for your visit to San Francisco. 

Navigate the city like a local by downloading these free, useful apps during your stay.

Routesy

There’s BART, the Muni, Caltrain, AC Transit, and cable cars?! Public transportation in San Francisco can be confusing. Routesy makes this easier on users, offering all the information you need in real time. Find the best method of transportation via Routesy, which covers your options with directions to the nearest stop and expected departure times.

Vizzit

It’s hard not to geek-out over this app. Vizzit offers free, self-guided audio walking tours of different areas around the globe, and their SF audio tours are awesome.

Mr. Chilly

The weather in San Francisco is so temperamental, even the fog has its own name (it’s Karl). Instead of blanket weather predictions, Mr. Chilly breaks up the forecast based on San Francisco’s microclimates. Track what to expect wherever you are in the city. Added bonus: adorable animations and interface. Only available on iOS. 

Eventbrite

Looking for local action? Eventbrite is widely-used across the city to disseminate information about local happenings from large-scale events to DIY gatherings.

If you’re in the mood for a night in, the Seamless app makes that entirely possible. Order takeout from the best local restaurants and have it delivered right to your hotel room.
