What are the best Apps?

Here is a thread that asked that question several months ago.

App thread

Satellite AR... If you have a dish, this app will locate Dish Network or DirectTV satellites (amongst others) through your phones camera giving you a view of where the satellites are in the sky and if any obstructions (trees, etc...) are in the way. It's very easy to use and best of all... It's free.

KOA campground App. And for that very, very rare time we need one: Motel pet Friendly app:"Pets welcome lodging".

And remember.... although not an true App, I do have a browser link on my phone I pad that opens FIRST to RV.net.

Just dumped the talk only phone and now can become smart. I'm amazed what this Note 4 is capable of doing but have a lot to learn to use it.

I got a few basic apps like Gas Buddy, Road Ninja, Facebook, and e-mail. So many apps and hard to understand what may be of the most use.
Bring on your recommendation's of what I need. Randu

1. weather apps weather underground
2. free trip planner - good sam
3. Google maps
4. WA Wind apps, the weather Channel
5. Good Sam Road Side Assistance
6. Help me - emergency app will automatically dial 911 and give your location
7. In calif. CARR to give you current road conditions on any road
8. Road Trippers
9. Good Sam Camping

Besideswhat you mentioned, the App I use the most with RoadAbode is Google Maps. Not just for GPS, but I can ask "OK Google, wheres the nearest WalMart" Or Ask OK Google show me Grocery Stores" and I can find stuff pretty quick. Past that I enjoy reading books on my Note 2 - and your Note 4 I think is even bigger?

I use a reader called Moon Reader. You can even hook it up to some free library of books.
I use Pandora to listen to online music radio while driving - have tried others and keep going back. Interface is easy.

Glympse is cool - some don't like it though. It allows you to text or email someone your location and they can watch on a map (if they are on a smartphone or computer) your ETA to a location - otr too them. Great when I'm meeting someone so they know when I'll be at the restaurant or whatever.

And all these I use the free versions - except Moon Reader - I bought that when it was on sale for the connect to librarys feature.

Just for Fun - Google Sky to locate Planets, stars and other night objects.
Good Luck - enjoy the new toy!

That Thread was from Summer of 2013. Unfortunately with this tech - change happens quick. There are new apps out, and some have moved on. Revisting this topic is not a bad thing.

We like finding great local restaurants. We use Urbanspoon often.
I second DISHPOINTER.

A great list that others have.I have a few others on my RV page.

RV PARKY

GOOGLE EARTH

TV ANTENNA HELPER

Here's a few:

RV Parky
Gas Buddy
WeatherBug
Hurricane Software
My Pilot
Satellite AR
Eset Security
Lookout
FireFox

With little doubt in my opinion the best single app for RVers is ALLSTAYS Camp & RV.
