Tactial Phone Apps. Let's Talk.
I have been kicking this idea around in my head a lot lately, and been talking with close friends about it.
We (except the boomers) all carry an Android or iPhone on us every single day. This pocket sized computer has adapted to become the medium of all human interaction. I'd like to start a discussion and build a knowledge base on what apps you use on your phone to help with anything practical or tactical. Really try and give the name of the app, and a brief description of how you find it useful. I'll start:
Iphone 8plus (IOS)
StrelokPro: I know there are free ballistic calculators out there but I LOVE this one. I almost can't go shooting without pulling it out for SOMETHING. Every single match I go to I set up a full match profile. Even when shooting random targets in the desert, all I need is a laser range finder and Strelok and your getting really really close.
Osmand Maps: This is a map service that uses vector files and saves them directly to your phone. If the cell network where to go down, this app works very well in offline mode and has a ton of native information. I don't have the paid version so I only DL'd my own state. I think with the paid version you could get all of America in under 6 GB?
DJi Go4: To fly my drone and piss off MarkM and papa bear at their secret shooting spot.
iMessages: sounds kinda dumb, but encrypted text and voice messages, photos/videos and can share GPS locations as well as transfer money. Seems tactical to me.
Flashlight???
Another useful feature of this thread might be if you want to ask if there is an App that might do what you need? For example I have a police scanner free app, but if anyone knows of a decent SDR app for the iPhone I am all ears.
