I use Map-My-Walk daily. The android version can be a little dodgy but it's still a great app if you walk. They also have a version for running and bike riding.

My favorite apps. Include (and these are all free)

Facebook

Mint (it's a app that keeps track of all your bank accounts and credit cards so you will know all your balances at any time etc. and keeps track of your spending etc.)

Weather Channel

Flixster (movie app, gives show times etc for all movies and theatres)

 

I have many others but these are the ones I use the most.

What the heck is facebook pages? And I never understood the need for Facebook Messenger...can't you just get messages on the facebook app?

Facebook Messenger is nice because you don't have to have Facebook open to get messages. It acts as a seperate app like a text app that will alert you anytime someone messages you from Facebook.

Someone else mentioned Gas Buddy. Love it.

 

I used Scout as a GPS device.

 

I like the Weather Channel app.

 

If you enjoy backyard astronomy, there are several good star chart apps.

 

Also, is you like astronomy, try the APOD app (Astronomy Picture of the Day).

I have many that are mentioned plus I have an app from the Red Cross that sounds a siren if a tornado warning is issued for where ever I happen to be. It is loud enough to wake me if it goes off at night.

 

2048 is a good time killing game

Ones that I used and like (that no one has mentioned):

 

Out of Milk - great for shopping lists to keep track of what you need to get when you out or the next time you go.

Inkpad - for quick notes and keeping track of things

Task List - just what it says, lets you make task list and prioritize. Also you can set up different lists for home, work, ect.

Keeper - lets you keep all you passwords and log ins in one play, and it's password protected.

Flashlight - don't know how many times I've used this. Handy for when you need a flashlight and don't have to go find one.

The ones I use a lot

 

Tune In Radio - just about any radio station that's not Clear Channel (those are all Iheart) use it a lot to listen to sports when I'm traveling. It's great to be able to listen to your high school sports station.

 

YP - the yellow pages

 

WeatherUnderground - my favorite weather ap

 

Groupon

 

Bands in town

 

Pandora

 

Uber - if you use taxis often in Cinci or most big cities this ap is a must have

 

Virtually every pro sports team and major college have aps.

Mag Light is the IOS name, not sure what android calls it.

It uses your light and camera, your screen becomes a magnifying glass with a light, very useful when looking at small labels, fine print, or even the vin number on your car.

A must have for any phone. I've only used mine like twice, but both times I was glad I had the app. Phones are almost always right at our fingertips and you never know when you might need a flashlight. Good get.

SkyDroid

5-0 Radio (was great during UK's run in basketball)

Keeneland

MapQuest
