Best Road Trip Apps

Last updated: July 17, 2025

Road trips can be an opportunity for family bonding, and sometimes a time for whining -- these apps can help with both. Put a modern twist on classic car activities with apps like Wheels on the Bus. Play word games, figure out some puzzles, or even build robots without packing a single piece of machinery! With a phone or tablet, your kids can express their creativity (no markers to keep track of), play games together (no pieces to lose), and collaborate -- all on the go! And, for the most part, once you download these apps, you won't need to worry about having access to Wi-Fi or using data. You might even skip the dreaded question: Are we there yet?
