iPhone App. recommendations for Teardrop Lifestyle.

Postby Oasis Maker » Thu Dec 17, 2009 8:05 am

Well I just got this thing so let's make it shine. Please state your favorite iPhone Apps and give a brief explanation why it is.

I'd appreciate all things teardrop lifestyle related. Meaning Apps that give info on travel guides for established campsites, boondock camping, best GPS, regional outdoor activity guides, hiking, biking etc. Even some guides to regional healthfood stores, gyms, vegan restaurants etc.

Is there an App, for example, that locates you by GPS then you can click a "Things To Do" button for instant happenings in that area? Anything that will support and enhance the teardrop adventure.

I'd like to take a short cut to perusing through over 100 thousand Apps if I can. :shock:

Thanks,
Scott G.

I use the iHandy Level to level my tear when I get to the campsite. Very handy :thumbsup:

MapQuest is good for directions.

The Weather Channel is good for weather.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Last software upgrade, Itunes went to default and decided to erase over 1200 unique pictures of my TD build on both my harddrive and the phone :x
We are no longer good friends so I'm back to Sony Ericsson...limited? Yes, but at least I'm sure they don't decide what picures and music that I want to move around.

Sorry.....I'm still a little PO

Other than that Iphone is a great gadget and I even miss it sometimes :cry:

Don't forget about the phone subscription too.

I don't have a iPhone, I have an iPod touch (an iPhone without the phone and camera). With a Wi-Fi connection, it works just like an iPhone. Games, music, browser, apps it is handy. The only beef I have is that Apple changed something with the charging. It doesn't charge when I connect it to my truck's radio like my old iPod did.

It would be incredibly silly in this day and age to have to argue the merits of a computer (which is what these phones are now). The fact that you were able to post such a ridiculous analogy from your computer is a contradiction in itself. So next time you post on this forum, why don't you just do it with your old set of Britannica Encyclopedia's? :roll:



Back to my request for Apps, I appreciate the suggestions and will research more on each one. If I have questions I'll post later. Thanks.

Urbanspoon - Shake it up to find a restaurant near you.
Shazam - Ever hear a song on the radio but don't know who sings it? This one will listen to it and tell you the artist and album its on. If you like it enough it will point to Itunes to DL it.
The Weather Channel - Tells ya the weather..nuff said.
Pandora - Streaming free music that caters to genres and artists you like.
Every bank now has its own app. I use Bank of Americas for money transfers and the like.
Zippo Lighter - If you are ever in the need of a fake lighter :)
iHandy Level - Good to level a table or teardrop.
Yo Mama - Yes that's right a yo mama joke generator. Good for a few laughs around the campfire.

I'm looking for a decent GPS app that includes topos. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great

GoSkyWatch. Impressive astronomy app.

Motion X GPS. Lets you map out campgrounds, or where ever you might be, and take photos along the way. The end result is your path on a Google map with push pins of the photos. Great for hiking or sharing locations.

Navigon GPS. Real GPS for driving or walking. Watch the routing. It takes me from KC to St. Louis then Memphis if I want to go to Little Rock. :roll:

Weather Bug Elite. Because I hate the little adds in the regular version.

Games. Hi How Are You, Inkvaders, Rolando 1 and 2, Soosiz, Ynth, Gomi, iBlast Moki. Mostly puzzle games.
