Iphone apps
on: June 06, 2009, 10:04:55 PM
Dudes and dudesses,

OK, I pulled the trigger and got an Iphone....just waiting for it to arrive.

Now I need help.  What apps are best for a dude that loves the outdoors....so far I have:

Anti mosquito
Outdoor military manual
Compass
Google earth
First aid
Tracker
Shakespeare (something to read at least  :think:)

Any other suggestions (apart from games etc to keep me entertained.) for the outdoor enthusiast  :cheers:

Many thanks in advance,

Nick

There's one called "What's around me?" or something like that. You can find out where the nearest chemist, hospital, pub, cafe etc are. I know it's not strictly survivally and outdoorsy but it's brilliant when you're somewhere unfamiliar and need....well I was going to say medical care but to be fair we've only used it to find restaurants when working away  :D

I'll have a look next time I'm at work - my colleague has one fully loaded with apps.

You going to review it when you get it then....so I can decide whether to succumb or not  :think:

Never mind, I ended up buying the Army Survival Guide..the 18 MB one! I was going to buy the pocket reference survival guide but I looked at the size and it was only 2.1 MB!  :o

A few other useful apps I have include: the 9-1 Army Knife, Converter, Knot Guide, Pocket Aid, Ruler, PI83 Graphing Calculator, and UnBlockMe (best puzzle game ever!)

Apps I can recommend, not necessarily outdoor related:

Free

Apple remote - iTunes control app.
VNC lite - remote mac/PC control app.
AWG convert - neat app to determine wire guage.
Multiconvert - my favorite converter app.
Reqall - talk to it and it transcribes to text and emails you the text and original voice recording, great for recording ideas in the car.
Pandora - music streaming.
Lux touch - risk clone.
Tap defense - resource management game.
Shazam - identifies music you hear.

Pay apps
Inet - $1.99 network scanner/port scanner.

If you jailbreak it
Cycorder - video recorder available from cydia.
:)
