I also keep topo maps of my area in jpg format. I got them direct from the US Geological Survey website. They have free downloads in a variety of formats.

earthquake app, i can config warning levels, so it tells me anything above M6, i like the sound it makes (very different warning sound) and shows me on the lock screen
As a land surveyor, I highly approve of all your listed apps (especially the USGS topo maps)!
One I use quite often is Radar Scope. I find it to be a much better weather related radar than any of the others I’ve tried so far. I use the version that costs $10 per year. Working outside, I find it extremely useful.
Radio Garden.
Instant access to thousands of radio stations around the world.
Not sure if you’re on an iPhone, some of these are exclusive to iOS.
1) Reddit obviously.

9) Dictionary app. Lets you look up shit offline.
10) Didn’t really have a tenth, but wanted to round out ten for the sake of it. Pocket Casts is a great podcast app which lets you set custom fast forward / rewind times per podcasts (for when different podcasts have different length ads
The delete option works for me
Unit Converter from Smart Tool, very useful to convert about any unit your thinking of
Gaia gps. Its free and maps your off grid route. Set your start while in reception, go up some logging roads, return to cell reception, end your trip, and then you have a perfect map of where you went
Documents and Tap browser. On tap browser I can go on YouTube and download music and change the file extension name to mp3 on Documents.
Tile
I suck at keeping track of shit. I’m even worse when I realize I’ve lost something. It doesn’t matter if it’s my wallet or my keys or my cell phone. As soon as I do I get the worst anxiety in the world, and I can’t bring it down.
Tile is as simple as pressing a button. You connect a Bluetooth device to your phone called a Tile. Then you attach the tile to an item you need to keep track of. Then When you need to find it, you simply press a button next to the icon for that item, and it plays a jingle where the item is located within range of your phone. It also works if you can’t find your phone, you simply press the button on the Tile associated with the item, and your phone plays its own jingle, Even louder, so you can find it.
I can actually go to sleep at night
1. Board foot calculator, for planning and buying lumber.
2. GuitarTuna, tuner app for instruments.
3. OBD Fusion, connects to a blue tooth or WiFi dongle that hooks up to a car to scan for diagnostic trouble codes, reads live data, ready make specific codes, and a bunch of other stuff that you’d have to get a crazy expensive scan tool to do.
Bought ultimate guitar like 10 years ago and have gotten endless use out of it.
mapmyrun is pretty chill for my skating hobby. sometimes I get extra tired certain weeks and I don’t know why and one day I opened up the app and realized I’ve been doing one or two hour cardio several times a week.
I purposely slow down and skip a bunch of days, and I feel amazing. I would’ve never known I was overworking my body if I didn’t look back in the app
I like Flightradar24. It’s cool to see what airplanes are flying right over you, their altitude, when/ where they took off from, where they’re headed etc.
Picture this. That’s an app that can tell you what kind of plant you have before you and what’s wrong with it and how to care for it, by simply making a picture.
what3words you text the 3 words that the app shows u based on ur location to whoever u need to give ur location to and typing those in the app will show ur exact location (like few meter radius)
