Google Translate

Many people are afraid of facing language barriers when traveling. Google Translate takes the edge off by quickly translating both written text and speech. You can use it to voice the translated text, as well as enter text using a camera or handwriting.

When connected to the Internet, the app can translate 103 languages, and 52 languages offline.

Another option is Microsoft Translator, which offers offline translation for 60 languages, phrasebooks, and a real-time conversation translation mode.

Signal

Many apps only talk superficially about security and privacy. However, Signal was originally designed to allow people to communicate easily without the fear of being overheard.

The Signal app completely replaces the standard call and SMS client (although it also works well as a standalone program). It allows you to send and receive encrypted calls and messages.

A nice addition is that the appearance and usability of the app are constantly being improved.

Adobe Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom is a powerful mobile photo editing application that inherits many of the features of its desktop counterparts: Lightroom and Lightroom Classic.

It's important to note that Lightroom also synchronizes all these changes between the mobile and desktop applications.
