Smart Phone Apps

jims-terrano · 27-12-2014, 22:41

What Apps do people use? Any favourites that you have installed?

Yesterday I installed OS Locate, gives you your OS Grid Ref and is also a compass that is over layed over your camera.

Also got memory map with loads of OS maps installed which is cool.

I use the free National Rail one and View Trip for checking holiday flights.

The Barclays Bank app is excellent (but only if you bank there

)

Flight Radar 24, if you are interested in planes. - I followed my daughter's flight from Mumbai to Heathrow so I knew when to get the airport to pick her up. (Still had to pay an exorbitant parking fee just for the short time I was there

)

UK Tides, if you are interested in when the tides come and go anywhere around the UK.

Hop circle. Guides you to the nearest Nicholson pub and gives you 25p off each pint of real ale.

Like the idea of dumping the app if you haven't used it for a while.

I used flight radar freebie to watch the canadian lanc when it came across back in August.

Just added a pole to see which is the most popular type of phone Apple or Android. I still haven't decided which I prefer.
