Android Apps for RV'ers

Just wondering of any useful android app for rving? I'v been using

this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.travelcheap.rvdiscount to match up goodsam and passport parks

And this one to find other park and places

And this one to find walmarts that let you park overnight

    Tried to post right after you did but the site went down.
  • Personally I hate apps. You give up way too much of your privacy to use them. Most everything, including this website, I browse on Dolphin browser for Android (guess that counts as 1). For campgrounds I use www.campgroundviews.com the site is mobile friendly and much more accurate/ up to date than the free or pay apps. Whatever you do go with just realize that you give up a lot of personal info, sometimes even when not using, for the privilege of having an app.
  • Should be noted, that with some paid apps, you give up little or no info

    Giving up info is what paids for the free apps
  • The one I use the most, RAINDAR.


    X2. We just took a trip to Elkhart, IN and back to pickup our new trailer and we used Raindar, Loves and Pilot/Flying J apps on my wife's phone and tablet. She was able to stay ahead on fuel stops and any bad weather we might be headed towards.
  • Walmart Overnight Parking, (Walmart's that allow Overnight Parking):
