uPackingList
For list lovers, we provide a simple list application focusing on the preparations for travelling.

You're not going to leave anything behind (for a change).

Wi-Fi Finder
To find Wi-Fi connections wherever you are. Save on your 3G tariff and look for a free Wi-Fi network if you have to work for long periods. It has the useful function of being able to download the directory of Wi-Fi points to be used offline. There are several alternatives to this application but it is undoubtedly one of the best.

Radardroid Pro
For business travel by car. Radardroid Pro warns of GPS radars and mobile controls. To save on speeding fines. Nevertheless, at Captio we recommend that you always leave in good time and drive at a steady pace. It's never a good idea to be in a rush on the road so, watch out!

When you get back, you can also produce your expense claim for the trip with just a click, without having to type in each receipt, one by one.
