First, Google Maps.
Google is in hand, and I have it in the world.
Of course, the most common Google Maps is the first one. In recent two years, public transportation (including buses) in big cities in Germany has joined its system, which is more reliable at any time. The funny thing is that if your mobile phone system is in Chinese, it will automatically translate the place names, so there are translations such as "Beautiful House Street" and "Healthy Fountain". However, if the weather is bad or the train is cancelled late, the information of the following two apps is more timely. Of course, Google Maps has more functions than that. It can also check the business hours of shops and restaurants and share places to play together, which is more than who won the bid.
Second, DB Navigator
German railway in hand, Germany (car inspection) worry-free
Detie, a local tyrant, this app can check the itinerary, buy and add tickets and Bahncard's QR code. In addition, as a supplement to Google Maps, it is very reliable when some small cities can also rely on it to query public transportation. And there is an English version. If you just travel in Germany, public transportation in Germany, d b+ Google Maps is enough.
Three. BVG· faherinfo
Whether you buy shoes or not, you need them.
Basically, the first two can meet the general public transport needs in Germany, but for BVG, whose advertisements are slippery and its service is sometimes unreliable, it is necessary to use its own app to check the car at a critical moment (similar to the public transport systems in major German States, such as VRR in Ruhr), and at the same time, you can buy tickets in the app or understand the usage rules of different types of tickets. Give iPhone users a hint, BVG can be added to a Widget, and you can swipe left to check the time of nearby public transportation without opening the app, which is especially effective for reasonable planning of going out in cold weather.
Fourth, my taxi/Uber
Take a taxi twice a year.
Although it hurts to take a taxi, there are always times when you are dragging heavy luggage (Tagore, an airport that doesn't take the subway), or when you go out for a drink in the middle of the night. My taxi is a taxi service. You can calculate the approximate cost from the starting point and the ending point. Generally, in the center of Berlin, a taxi can be called within five minutes, even in the irregular hours of late night and early morning. The disadvantage is that the fee is the taxi meter price, and there is no coupon. A tip of 10% to 20% will be suggested when making payment.
Uber has been at war with the German authorities and taxi unions for a long time, and now it lives in Berlin and Munich, but the business in the two places is different (there are taxis and private cars UberX in Berlin, but there are no taxis, UberX and higher-grade Uber Black in Munich). However, friends in Munich recommend it: the price is lower than that of taxis, and you can give discounts to friends all over the world. After the shooting in Munich on 20 16, Uber in the whole city was free and a conscientious enterprise.
* * * Enjoy riding a bike.
This mysterious force from the East also swept through Germany. At present, there are many different brands of bicycles on the streets of Berlin: Lidl Bike, Next Bike and Donkey Republic jointly operated by DB and Lidl, and O Bike in mobike and Singapore. Although I doubt whether this business model can really succeed in Germany, maybe more and more people will join the ranks of * * * next spring to enjoy riding.
Take Lidl Bike as an example, there are two standards for charging: 3 euros/year, the first half hour 1.5 euros, the second half hour 1 euros, and the maximum one day 1.5 euros; Or 49 euros a year, 0.5 euros in the first half hour and 1 euro in the second half hour.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) check 24
From reader 1: "Check 24 ...? You can directly choose your favorite destination, and then compare the price of the hotel ticket package, which is more cost-effective than setting two things separately. " In addition to travel comparison, there are car rental comparison, various online shopping and contract package comparison.
The intransitive verb Kinod
Movie database, movie search, movie release reminder
This website is equivalent to the German version of IMDB (International Film Database). MySpace seems to be a godsend since I accidentally discovered its app version. The home page is the latest movie. You can check the screening time of major cinemas, including independent cinemas in the city, and give priority to collecting cinemas.
If you have a cinema movie that you particularly want to see, you can join the collection, and there will be a push reminder on the day the movie is released. If you are a streaming media user, you can watch the newly added movies and TV series on Netflix and Amazon video of Auf Abruf. The disadvantage is that there is no built-in seat selection and ticket purchase function, or it will jump to the ticket sales page of the theater. In addition, if you often go to the cinema of a commercial cinema, you can also see if there is an app for the cinema, and remember the main points when buying tickets. For example, ten cinestar cinemas can get a free 2D, and drinks and snacks can also participate in points.

The Gospel of Annual Card Users for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
This article comes from our reader Fish Wong: "iDaily Museum will give a brief introduction to various exhibitions in addition to the time and place, which is very practical." I also use this, a Chinese app that pushes information about exhibitions around the world. Select "Same City" to see the ongoing and upcoming exhibitions in Berlin. Generally, exhibitions of national museums and classical art are the main ones, and the introduction of the exhibition is translated from the official page. The disadvantage is that there are few exhibitions in other museums (such as private museums or galleries). Sometimes the location is not very accurate and needs to be carefully checked.
If the weather is too cold and I don't want to go out to play, reader Kbiu provides an idea: In Germany, where entertainment resources are extremely scarce, I will make an appointment with three or five friends from different places and open a karaoke bar on weekends. Don't go out, don't wash your hair, don't spend tickets, don't be alone, what are you waiting for? Let's go to Muye Zhang together! "After all, KTV in Germany is expensive and there are few songs. ....
Eight, restaurant reviews
Yelp and Tripadvisor, two giants, have the necessary manpower, and the effect is better when used with Google Maps. Yelp is much used in the city, and Tripadvisor is much used when traveling. Thankfully, Yelp finally updated the UI this year, and it's not so unbearable to look at it directly. Besides these two, there are four squares. The UI is very refreshing and practical, and will list the highlights of the restaurant and the user's tips.
Nine, takeaway
Li Felando
Even if I didn't order takeout, I was stuffed with their coupons in the mailbox or saw the takeaway brother running away in the street. The starting price in Germany is relatively high, about 10- 15 Euro. Some restaurants also have delivery fees, plus tips for takeaway brothers. So it's not particularly single and friendly ... it's more suitable for friends to get together and order pizza (instead of eating mala Tang at home alone! )。
X.amazon Prime Now
Reader's oxygen: "I recommend Amazon's prime now, which can be delivered in Berlin in two hours, and at the latest in the afternoon 12. Now, in cooperation with Rothman and others, you don't have to go out to buy a bottle of shampoo in winter. It is especially suitable for solving the urgent matter of running out of toilet paper. "
At present, only Munich and Berlin can deliver it. I bought it several times, but once it was not delivered at the specified time. In this case, I can choose to cancel or send it another day Before, the lowest free starting price was 20 euros, and later it was mentioned 40 euros. Orders under 40 euros need to pay 3.99 freight.

Dm, rewe coupons, electronic loyalty cards.
Enthusiastic about capitalist wool, I started a long road of return integration from the first time I went to rewe. This app saves the trouble of bringing cards and coupons at any time, as well as the payment function. There are long-term Galeria Kauffhoff10% coupons, and cooperative stores such as REWE, DM and Real have long-term multi-points. Just activate it in the application before checkout.
Twelve. Rothman
10% discount electronic discount code
Speaking of the return of cooperation with DM, I have to say that its colleague Rossmann. Rothman doesn't have an integral system. This app is used to collect all 10% coupons and promotional products/brands, as well as to view the preferential activities of physical stores and online stores.
