Title: What phone apps do you use?
Post by: Guppy Tamer on June 22, 2011, 09:00:01 PM
This may have already been discussed but I didn't see anything in my search? What are your favorite iphone/android apps for fishing and kayaking? Here are a few of mine (all android):

Google Earth/Google Maps
Craigslist notification (For finding cheap used gear)
RiverFlows (River height and flow)
Tide Prediction (not the best. Still looking for the perfect tide app)

Good topic dan_b.  I like Marine Weather by Bluefin.  It feeds the NOAA marine forecasts and has a tide overlay.

I use navionics us marine west for android, it has good gps tracking daily tide charts and marine charts and also has many waypoints included in the app.

Navionics
Marine Weather
River Flows

Favorites in that order, though if I had to choose one, it would be Navionics for sure.

Phone apps? " We don't need no stinking phone apps." I'm an old fart who does just fine with a basic cell and now they are not so basic.

Weatherbug, FishingKnots, tideApp, NOAA Buoy and Tide Data,  and Surfline for lack of anything better in that category.  Magic Seaweed used to have a good app but 6 months ago they updated it and turned it to crap don't know if they've made it good again.

CBY. Guess you're an old but not angry bird ???. I like a good computer too and good fishing gear. Just never found a need for the newer technologies. Did fine for 60 yrs without.

If work didn't require me to have a smart phone with secure email I'd be in your boat.  Sometimes I really do miss my small little old school flip phone :-(

I like my 30 dollar phone bill the most, to go along with my 30 dollar cable  bill because i just have internet no paid TV programming. I do have a nice 42 inch plasma monitor now...

I wish you could get decently fast broadband in salem for $30 a month.  24mb connection it's $60 here in salem without tv.  Beats paying $90 though with crappy tv.  But who needs tv service when you have an htpc with netflix, hulu, and 400 stored movies lol.  Leaves more money for new fishing gear.

I get 14 mbps for 29.95 and i own my modem,  i'm not complaining. I'm a Netflix junkie, never watched an episode of LOST on TV..watched the whole series in like two months  on NF, it was like a real long movie

You know, there's an app for that.    ;D

I did the same thing with Lost on NF. Except we watched it 3 disks at a time through the last season. It was me and my wife's guilty pleasure. We ALWAYS ended up with  burning eyes, a TV headache, and mad because we'd stayed up all night watching that foolishness and because the next disk wasn't there yet.  ;D

The problem with Netflix's streaming service is that the next episode is always right there waiting to be played.
