Steven Taylor on the Best Apps to Use while Exploring LA

Steven Taylor believes in the power of technology. Not only does it make lives more comfortable, but it also gives people the ability to do things that are not quite possible in the past. Take, for example, exploring a huge city on their own. 

In the past, tourists visiting Los Angeles have two options when exploring the city. The first option is to get the services of a tour agency while the other option is to bring a map while exploring. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. One would have to pay for the tour, but you go along with a crowd, and it’s easier to navigate a big city like Los Angeles when touring with a bunch of people. Having a handy map is the cheaper option, but one can hardly identify the right city or alley without familiarizing the entire area. And that can take a week or two.

Now here is where technology helps out people. With mobile applications available, it is now very easy to access roads and establishments because one is provided with the exact location and/or description of the place that people want to go to. Even Steven Taylor takes advantage of these applications just because Los Angeles is an ever-changing city. It is always busy and people are always on the go. And these apps are so easy to use; all it takes is a solid Internet connection and a compatible phone!

So for tourists who are having a hard time exploring Los Angeles, here are the best mobile applications that Steven Taylor recommends:

Modern Hiker

For the tourist who loves to go hiking, then this is the perfect mobile app. Modern Hiker highlights the best and safe areas to go hiking while you are staying in Los Angeles. They have a library of images featuring full trail guides that helps users find the best place for a great hike. 

Lyft

Los Angeles is notorious when it comes to traffic and passenger congestion. Steven Taylor always has issues riding public transportation simply because there are always too many people! Fortunately, there are many mobile apps that can help people in getting a quick ride in LA. Lyft happens to be one of those great apps. When using the app, it matches you to a local driver near your area, picks you up, and drives you to your destination. Easy!

LAX

For those who don’t want to miss their flight while in Los Angeles, LAX has it covered for you. Because the app is in sync with every flight detail in the Los Angeles International Airport, you have an updated screen full of domestic and international flight schedules loaded on your mobile phone’s screen. Never be late for your next flight again!
