RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 11, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2010 As I'm surgically attached to my iTouch (or SWMBO seems to think...), I wondered what apps you feel you can't live without. Please can you indicate what sort of app you're recommending, and whether it needs internet connection or not. First up is 'Angry Birds', a downloaded game where you catapult different varieties of birds at some green frogs in various wood, ice and stone shelters.... The Lite version is free, the bought version really good. Next is 'Trainyard', another downloaded game featuring harder and harder logic puzzles, matching coloured trains with their stations. Again, the Lite version is free, the bought version is so much harder. Over to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 A necessity for me is Tube Exits. As the name suggests, you enter your tube route and it tells you which carriage to get on at to be near the exits. Trainyard looks fun though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcayton Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I believe the i-phone either has a magnifying glass feature built in, or you can get an "app" for one. The nearest I can get with my Samsung Wave is to fiddle with the camera settings, unless someone here knows better. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted November 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2013 The ones I find most useful, National Rail Enquiries BBC weather Next Buses (it works out where you are then dispays a map showing the bus stops near your location, tap a bus stop and it shows the next departures fom that stop). Tube Delux (London Underground, especially the display showing which lines are OK and which are disrupted). Highway Agency, for traffic jams. Aldi gives forhcoming bargins. The only game I have is 'Ticket to Ride Pocket' this railway game is free and very addictive, but much better on ipad as the screen is bigger.

Kenton Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Must be quite SAD as I seem to have hardly any of these yet somehow have 6 pages full of clutter. Anyway simply for the benefit of praising some already mentioned and some not ... In usee most days Camera+ ... rather superior to the default photo app and somehow has survived the ios7 upgrade Google Maps ... again superior to the US centric default Maps offering. but get used to being told to exit roundabouts long after you have negotiated them. Compass ... just the thing for keeping your bearings when wandering through the woods at night! Flashlight ... so you don't step in something you need to avoid in the woods at night! Chirp ... for driving the dogs mental and passing messages/photos across a room. Dolphin - because Safari is a pile of what you try to avoid stepping in at night. ContactsTool ... to manage contacts despite Apple's best efforts to mess up one of the most essential apps. IMAP Folders ... for email admin and rules to make all those unwanted messages go away. Voice Memos ... for recording phone calls and anything else going on around you. RedLaser ... for everything barcoded Evernote Dropbox BBC iPlayer & iPlayer Radio Classic FM Jazz FM Shazam ... for "name that tune" Dragon ... cause everyone needs a secretary Skype eBooks & iBooks & Kindle - for when you get stuck in airports or have to endure public transport (strongly recommended are earphones and a zipped pocket) Have a few others but as you can see no games (just do not have time to waste that way) and of course nothing to do with Facecrook or Twit messaging. For me the main use is as for email on the move, then txt messages (a bit secondary to email for when one line will do) and then as a phone - what else?

jdb82 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Any decent apps related to the railway modelling world? Maybe a bit adventurous, but I love the idea of controlling my layout wirelessly from my iPad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tender Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Any decent apps related to the railway modelling world? Maybe a bit adventurous, but I love the idea of controlling my layout wirelessly from my iPad! WiThrottle if you use JMRI. TouchCab if you're a Lenz user. Dare say some of the newer DCC systems have an app in the pipeline if not already available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
