Apps...

[jcrow10]

What are some "must have" apps that you have on your phone?

For myself, I love "Untappd" - a great app to help you track the various beers you drink.

What about you?

Games?

News?

Etc.?

 

[argubs2]

Downdetector, which is just an app for the website.

Good to know it's not just you, sometimes.

 

[We-Todd-Did]

Milk music and Pandora. I have several personalized stations on both but I do prefer the layout of Milk.

KY511 is a handy road conditions app.

Podcast Republic is a pretty good app for exploring different podcasts.

 

[Tskware]

Spotify

Runtastic, which tracks how far you run

 

[Beavis606]

SoundHound -- It listens to songs and gives you artist, title, lyrics, etc.

 

[ymmot31]

Hill Climb Racing--you climb hills, and race
Google Sky Map--it's a google map of the sky
Math Formulary--mostly math formulae

World Lens- you hold your phone over writing in a foreign language (French, Italian, Spanish or German) and it translates it to English. No typing required. Great when trying to order off a menu that you can't read when in Europe. Probably good for high school kids looking to cheat in language classes.

Kindle Reader- never know when you might need to kill some time

LGE KU Outage App- when your power goes down it tells you how many people in a given area are affected and when you can expect restoration in your neighborhood.

SkyDroid
TVFoodMaps (for travel it's awesome)

I'll be in Europe next week. The World Lens will come in handy. Thanks.

FYI, you have to pay for each language that you want. I think that its $5 per.

I can't argue with that.

Office Lens is pretty handy. Multi-platform, not just WinMob.

 

[Deeeefense]

Scout - it's a navigation ap - you can simply say where you want to go, location, store name, restaurant etc. and it maps your route and gives you visual and audio guidance.

Garmin Blue Chart - marine GPS chart plotter

Around Me - search your soundings by category - restaurant, bank etc. and it will find them by name and display a pin on a map, then guide you there.

Altimeter - gives you accurate altitude readings. I've used in on commercial flights and it works great.

Red Laser - you can scan any items bar code in a store, and it will display all the places available both local and online where you can buy it and it's price. Also a detailed description of the products and some reviews.

Yelp is by far the best app if you travel at all. Use it constantly.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

By far if you care about what complete idiots have to say...

Yelp is awful.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Yelp is awful.

Agreed. Yelp is terrible. Found Foursquare to be much better, even after its weird spin off of the check in app to Swarm.

Yelp is awful.

I like reading the blatantly fake reviews.

You should try it on the iPad. Much more sanitary.

Do you share and then charge your dad for any of those?

Charges his dad for the free Hulu he earns.
