iPhone
101 countries of researched local apps: ride hailing, payments, food delivery, transit and eSIM guidance. Now in eight languages. Works offline.
You land somewhere new and nobody tells you which app hails a taxi, which one delivers food, or which wallet the corner shop expects. Bento is that missing briefing, researched country by country.
Pick your destination and get the shortlist: ride hailing, food delivery, payments, messaging, navigation, transit, shopping and more, each with a short note on what it is good for and what to watch out for. The apps that genuinely matter are marked essential, so a two-day trip does not turn into an evening of downloads.
WHAT IS INSIDE
- 101 countries, from Japan and Brazil to Georgia, Rwanda and Uzbekistan
- Over a thousand apps, each one checked against local sources
- A pre-arrival briefing per country: cash or card, what surprises people
- Mobile internet guidance per country: eSIM or local SIM, ID registration rules, where to buy, what a tourist plan usually costs
- Sources and a last-checked date on every country
BUILT FOR TRAVEL, WITHOUT ACCOUNTS OR ADS
No account, no sign-up, no ads, no advertising identifier. Every guide ships inside the app, so Bento still works at the airport before you have a SIM, on the plane, and where roaming is expensive. When a connection is available, Bento checks its content host for researched guide updates. Anonymous crash reports and usage statistics help keep the guides reliable; nothing is linked to you.
Bento follows your phone's language and is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Italian.
Bento is made by a full-time traveler who has spent years actually using these apps.
