Smart Phone: What apps are on your phone for chasing?

[Jason Boggs]

Never heard of maps.me. Installing it now though!!

 

[Verne Carlson]

Well, allow me to plug some of my own Android apps here that you'll find useful!

Chaser Location - post your location to SpotterNetwork automatically.
Rapid Report - report to SpotterNetwork, Twitter and Facebook.
SPC Widget - all the SPC outlooks at a glance on your homescreen.
Hail Scale - true hail sizer tool on your screen.

If anyone has a need for another chaser app I'll write it!

Pykl3
RadarScope
HRRR Viewer
OSMAnd Mapping

Don't use my phone and tablet too often, other than basic radar viewing - most of my work is still done on a laptop, can't get over having a touchpad and mouse.

Pretty basic, but what I use on my iPhone 6...

Aviary (fun app I like to use to draw on images)
Expedia (find and book hotels, great discounts for members)
Google Maps (GPS)
iWatermark (watermark photos on the fly)
PlayMemories Mobile (viewfinder and remote for my Sony Action Cams)
PS Express (to quickly touch-up photos)
RadarScope
Voice Dream (text-to-speech, great for listening to AFDs, MDs, etc.)
Waze (backup GPS...will read voice in background, unlike recent Google Maps update)
Yelp (find great restaurants, check hotel reviews, etc.)

Underlined apps are ones that I find especially helpful while storm chasing.

iWatermark was fairly inexpensive, $1 I believe.
Voice Dream was about $10, but definitely worth to purchase.

I always have my laptop but I use Mrlevel 3, Rapid Report, and Here Drive+ the most.

RadarScope
SPC Mesoanalysis Viewer

 

[James Wilson]

I have the same as what has been listed but I also have Lightroom for quick photo edits.

 

[John Colaw]

The iPhone 6 and newer and the Samsung galaxy series have a very accurate pressure sensor in them (1 hPa)

There's plenty of free barometer apps for them.

 

[Mark Blue]

Both PYKL3 and RadarScope, WeatherTap, Yelp as Bill said, Ookla Speed Test, Dropbox, File Manager Pro, Fast Reboot Pro, Coverage?, and Authy for two-step verification logins.

I'm fairly simple. I use my browser to access COD for forecasting. Other than that, it's pretty much RadarScope and Maps for navigation.
