Cool Phone Apps?

[Pete M]

I swear there was a thread on this topic a while back, but cannot find it. :(  oh well, guess I'll start another...

 

I have now entered the modern age!  kicking and screaming mind you, but the old brick-of-a-phone stopped lighting up the screen.  so I got myself a Rugby Pro. :D  dustproof, water proof to 3 feet, shock resistant, etc.  as accident-prone as I am, I don't think I could get away with anything less.

anyway, now that I've got a phone that will do apps, I need some apps!  got a compass, an offroad GPS, handyman calc, weather radar, translator, protractor, star gazer, gas prices app, tapatalk, music identifier, bird book, Advanced task killer (to shut down any app I don't want running in the background), even an app that tells me wait times at disney world. :D

 

what else should I grab?

I have been playing around with the photobucket app, and hope soon i will be able to take pics with my phone and then post them here in only a few short steps.

 

O had you have to get the flashlight app!! use it everyday.

[Pete M]

flashlight app came with the phone.  and I use it pretty much everyday too.  :D

 

just downloaded a g-force meter so I can see how well my minivan handles. :yes:

[hitman72]

Pete, could you give a little info on the GPS app you use, which one, short description of how it works and how well.
I been thinking of an android device in lieu of a real GPS device. If I got to spend a bunch of money, I would like

to have something that does more than tell me where I am at or road conditions.

I'm not asking about devices, but the app, so we don't get sidetracked on apple, samsung etc. 

[Pete M]

haven't used it yet. :dunno:   it's called Maverick: gps navigation  there's a free version and a pro version.  I have the free one of course. :D

That would make posting soo much easier. I haven't quite figured out how to do it well.

I just get on my search browser on my phone and navigate to the site that way, them post like on the computer. 

 

idk if you ever use it but jeepforum.com has an app that i really like. You could download it just to take a look and see what would work for us.

try using tapatalk.  it's a version of our (and lots of other forums') software specifically for smartphones. :thumbsup:

torque, a free OBD II scanner app... Just need to get the bluetooth dongle off ebay for $20, and you are good to go. Also, theChive. Since I know you and Carly like walks, there is a free dog walking app sponsored by Subaru that will track routes, miles walked, climbs in feet, as well as tell you the calories burned. Tons of free photo editors, just google to find the best ones.

gps status(dynamic tech info on GPS system)

Orux maps(offline mapping)

My tracks(logs mapping data of your travels)

Universal remote(control your PC and other devices from the phone)

App backup and restore(obvious)

App organizer(home screen folders for your apps)

I guess it's the mobile browser site. It's a simplified version of full site. Only thing I can figure out is the smilies. They are the best part. I have photobucket for posting pics with img code from the app so that's not a problem.

This app is the best!! haha thanks for the heads up  :bowdown:    

[86customanche]

not sure i can justify paying 3 bucks for an app when I can just go on the browser and no pay anything

[Pete M]

to each his own.   all I know is that people were begging me to get tapatalk support here at CC.  :yes:

[whowey]

Google sky maps.... just love that one...

 

I'm not thrilled about Google navigation  and its performance.
