In about a month, I will be eligible for a new discounted phone on my wireless plan, and the iPhone has finally arrived on Verizon’s network. I plan to pick one up, as I like the robust quality of all things Apple. In anticipation of my phone upgrade, I’ve identified some of the apps that look promising. My research is unscientific, but based on Internet chatter, I think these are on my download list:
Ballistic: The ballistic trajectory computer for the iPhone. This one has a large library of loads and includes a mil-dot estimator and range log.
GPS Kit: Full-featured GPS for the great outdoors. Differentiating itself from the Tom-Tom style street navigation systems, this one has the features you’re used to seeing on your outdoor GPS.
iSOlunar: This app is for you, if like me, you use the solunar tables to identify good fishing times. I don’t plan my whole season around these, but they definitely come into play. This appears to be the most professional-looking app for this purpose.
I’m on the hunt for more, so please post a comment if you have an app on your iPhone that you just can’t live without in the outdoors.
