Hey gang,
Was wondering what y'all are using as an app on your smartphones for doing runs. If your not using Waze, i would highly encourage you too. As to using Waze, you can avoid traffic jams, construction and cops all by other wazers. Waze can be found absolutley free on the Apple Itunes store and the Google Play store.
Just wondering, what are some helpful apps thst you guys use?:rolleyes:
Nothing with GPS enabled I can assure you. Sucks the life right out of my battery. :(
Only 2 apps I really use for work are Kitco for keeping track of metal prices, and the CL app. Other then that, nothing.
I need gps I have one in my van. Heh. Oh, I also use a Police Scanner App, because I like hearing them chit chat an busting people. lol. Yea..I'm a jerk.
I'd be interested tho also in hearing what folks use. Good topic OP, an not one I recall ever seeing discussed on here.
Sirscrapalot - I'm not lost, I'm exactly where I was meant to be. - I'd like to take credit, but it wasn't me.
I always use the SMF app. Also instagram, Facebook, kijiji app, my banking app, and waze. Waze is a really good app
I'm rather partial to Rand McNally. If you watch those speed limit signs, you don't have to worry about the cops ; )
Haha, I forgot bout the SMF app. I have that, but I only use it to read, fat fingers make it hard to post. Stupid tiny keyboards. /mutter
An I can't read group messages with the app, or let folks in. :(
Share your apps folks, don't let T's thread down!

I use the GPS on my Samsung quite often, and found it to be pretty accurate. It does suck a lot of juice, but I leave it plugged into my cigarette lighter the whole time, so I usually end up with more juice in my phone than when I started out. I am going to have to look into the waze app (if it will work on the samsung galaxy II)
Wayne, it should l. I have an S3 and it works fine.
Thanks gonna look at waze now
Also am going to check it out. Assuming I can disable the gps part. I got an older android Samsung, I'll lest check it out an see how it works though!

As long as I don't have to call myself a wazer! :D
haha monty ;) couldnt figure put what else to say
This mean at the scrap convention we can all do the waze together?
/duck
Sirscrapalot - Causing trouble.
"This mean at the scrap convention we can all do the waze together?..."
Well at least buy me a drink first, sailor!
rofl..Monty your going to fit in just fine around here
Sirscrapalot - No quote, still laughing
I use Craigslist, weather and Ebay App the most and the navigation that came on the Droid Razr...I think it's Google based and like the way it works and it's kind to the battery. I did not like the update though so I uninstalled it and blocked any further updates without permission.
Gonna check out waze too. Is the smf app on Apple store?
Don't think it's been released for Iphone yet..think I remember reading that in the thread announcing it. Just recently to.
I use android myself. Ya might have to bug Admin about it. Heh.
Sirscrapalot - Eats apples, doesn't use them.
Here ya go, found the thread.
any closer to having the iPhone app up and running?

Sirscrapalot - Being helpful...possibly.
My most used is a flashlight app
Thought they would of had an app for SMF on the app store.. But guess not :S
They do for the play store..dunno why not for the apple folks.
It's where I got mine. Google play store.
