The Moovit App allows its users to plan out their trip before hand focusing more on the public transportation. Provide accurate bus and train arrival and departure times. Searching in English is an option although all maps are in Hebrew.

Google maps is a good English alternative to the Moovit App

Gett Taxi is similar to Uber. The app allows the user to order a taxi wherever and whenever with the option to prepay with a card or cash. Maybe a better option than physically hailing a cab, drivers may try to charge you a fixed rate. Gett Taxi cabs will always use the meter.
