I got my first smart phone

[RangerClay]

What are some really cool apps that I should get?    

[mac]

specific apps for hunting ? or general interest , news, games?

[Early]

I have had a smart phone for years:  pushbutton....no more rotary dial for me!

[Csk21]

I like Time2Hunt. Not so much for the rating system but the Solar and Lunar info. Also like actInnature hunting. Shows you maps with wind directions and lets you tag spots on the map and take notes or add pictures.

Any app that you think is neat.  I have the deer call app and the flashlight.

[Bow Addict]

scoutlook deer log.Great app.you can mark all your treestands on the map. log deer sighting info and show your scentcone for each stand location.

Not sure if it matters to you but some apps use your data. last month i came close to going over mine.  What i had that uses it is the flashlight, my pictures and calender. Even the dictionary and a solitaire game.

I have to break down and get one, My phone is a half a step above a C.B. radio

[Deerthug]

Lol. My wife hates smartphones. She prefers dumb phones but hers broke so she upgraded to a stupid phone.

As for me I can't live without my smartphone! Lol

[mac]

Good point Paula. See what your monthly data usage allowance is and monitor it for few months so you can see if you are running too much stuff.. and lots of apps just suck the juice out of the battery

[Waldershrek]

I just upgraded to a smart phone myself. I don't really have any hunting apps on it but The Chive and Candy Crush passes the time.

I have the watch espn app on my phone. Dont use it much except to catch some scores if away from home. Watched the last 10 laps of nascar race on sunday while sitting in my treestand. The list of apps you could get is endless.

A must have, "MYRADAR" GPS enabled it give you doppler up to date with motion so you can see what is heading your way and you can estimate when it will get to you.

 

Pandora----more music than you can listen too. only a few commercials on the free app. Premium has none. But I only use it when I have wifi so I don't blow through my data limit.

 

get a good flashlight app. comes in handy when you need one but don't have one.

what phone/service did you get? I want to get a smartphone but don't want to sign a contract. I hear decent things about net 10 and straighttalk

If I had to start over again I would do Straight Talk.  But money was tight to pay full price for a phone.  So I upgraded through Verison.

I've always hated smart phones, until a couple months ago my wife handed me one and said use it

 

the only app I use is google earth, love it on my computer, and it's great for in the feild scouting

The free apps usually come loaded with ads, so that's where your data usage is. I have unlimited, and jail broken, so no free apps for me, just free paid apps.

I have it all blocked now and I was playing a stupid game with a friend, plus I was using instead of getting up to go to my computer. I deleted the with friends game and now will get on my computer.

[NYBowhunter]

Good apps for current info. Is CNN and Flipboard, they are great to stay on top of the latest news, technology, sports etc...

I really like Straight Talk so far. 45 bucks a month for unlimited text and talk. They advertise data being unlimited too, but your limited to 2 Gb per month. I use data all  the time and have yet to come close to the allowance. 

[WNYBuckHunter]

Some of the Apps I use the most for hunting are Google Earth, any of the good weather apps, I usually use The Weather Channel's app, and Scoutlook. I bought the Deer and Deer Hunting shot simulator for my old android phone, but havent for my iphone yet. For non hunting related apps, I have Pandora, photobucket, skype and a flashlight. I have a couple of games on there too and a local news app.

[TeeBugg]

Mossy oak hunting weather and time2hunt are two that i have. Games...well theres a gazillion of them!

I'll admit that I get a little jealous at all you guys that get reception in the woods. I don't like to play with my phone when hunting, but being able to check the radar would be very handy sometimes!

 

When I do get reception I really like Weather Underground (wunderground.com) for radar and such, they have advanced radar modes and storm tracks for weather nerds like me.
