    I have some money on my google play account and im not sure what to get with it. Any of you android users out there have any suggestions on new apps to take a look at. It could be for anything if i think its cool, interesting, or useful in any way i might just buy it. So what are your guys favorite apps?

    You can mark spots on it with notes and other neat features. It gives ur scent cone. Has lunar and many other features aswell. Its a neat little app. Its not as reliable as a fancy GPS or anything but its cool to mark spots where u find sign or your stand locations and check the scent cone and everything.

    I use these on my iPhone and iPad but imagine they are available for you.
    Big Buck Down
    Accuweather (great for correct wind directions)
    The Cabela's Recon Hunt app is awesome. Buy the full version as it is totally worth it.


    Then I suggest to:
    Find a compass app, lunar table app, quality map app that will give good topo views, current satellite views, and will label things properly.

    All of these are for hunting purposes.

    Thanks, I saw accuweather was on sale. Then i bought an app with a few tools in it and it has a compass but im not sure how accurate it is ill have to check on that. Ill also have to looks at the maps that could really help since ill be moving around public land here.

    I'm a fanatic of hunting proper winds so I use my map apps, compass app, and wind/weather apps constantly.

    Would it be worth it to get the cabelas app even though i already have the scout look app. They seem similar im just not sure its worth 5 dollars for something close to what i already have.

    I'm not sure about the Scout app. I haven't used it. If it will mark your stand locations, track your movement, check weather, etc then I'd say there is not a need for the Cabela's app.

    Anyone else have some ideas? They dont even have to be hunting related.

    Do you fish? If so the navionics app is a fantastic buy. It's basically the same as the GPS and lake contour setup that you buy with your fish finder, except its only $11.
