    Google Earth, MotionX-GPS, Topo Maps, ShotSimulator (D&DH), and I'm hoping to use Ustream to brodcast live from my tree.

    I also have an AirStash & its app so I can pull my camera cards on the way in, then view them in the tree on my phone and email them to my buddies who aren't hunting :tu:

    Whatever you do, do not download Angry Bird or Hungry Shark-you will miss a lot of deer because you're addicted to the game. I use Time2Hunt-it uses solunar calendars to calculate the best times to hunt. I have been trying to see if there is a correlation but I'm not sure yet. I use the Weather Channel app a lot. You can get Tapatalk so that you can get on here easier (I don't have this, it's $3 and I have never paid for an app yet). Backcountry is a topo/satellite image gps program that I have but I rarely use because I don't have unlimited data when not on wifi. I have a gps that I use normally. All of these are free apps. And there is YouVersion. It is a copy of the Bible in any different version that you could dream of. I like to read it while I'm on stand.

    I'm going to look into a Solunar app as well.

    I have an android phone so I use TIME 2 HUNT, SCORE MY RACK & WEATHER BUG ELITE.
    Time to hunt has the sun rise and set time and moon phases which are nice.
    Score my rack is a must have you can do all type of horned animals and it does deductions automatically for both typical and none typical.

    if you have an iphone bowranger is a great app when paired with a bow mount. Phone calculates ARC for you based on your stand height and allows you to free up your hand from a rangefinder when that buck is on its way in. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it could be helpful as long as it is accurate.

    AirStash is a SD card reader that creates it's own wireless network that you can get on with your phone. I can pull my card, put it in the AirStash, turn it on and check the photos with my iPhone :tu: Then you can save what images you want to your phone.

    It's slim and small and can slip right into your pocket or pack. Think I got it for about $95 bucks, which isn't bad since the Cuddy Viewer is more.
