Neat farming phone aps?

I like the farm sprayer ap,use it for fertilizing hay. Type in the width and it maps out the field as you go. The dark strip to the right is what was spread so far. What's your favorite farm ap? We use agriplot too to measure out spots.

Could you provide some hints on how to use it? I got it about a month ago, but never figured out how to work it. I have been using Ski Tracks for the little bit of spraying I do. It is designed to track your day while snow skiing, but it provides a nice map overlay on google earth that shows where you've been, and it also provides your ground speed.

I tried to sign up for your sprayer ap on my phone on your recommendation last week. I hit download on my phone and that's as far as I could get with it. I'm waiting to sit down long enough when my computer tech wife is here also to get it for me. Did my fert. spreading and spraying the old school way this week.

Not necessarily a farm related one but I have the MyRadar App and it is a great weather app in my opinion. I also have the Craigslist app that helps me track down farm equipment that I probably don't ever need! I also have the CaseIH app but I have never used it yet.

It's pretty easy to use,not as nice as a tractor mounted screen and hardware but a lot cheaper and gets the job done. First make sure your phone is set up to allow gps or phone location tracking. Once you've installed the ap make sure the ap is set up to use cellular data. Once that's done when your ready open the ap and click on start here. It will ask width ie type in 40' for most fertilizer spreaders than click start beside it. Then you just start driving. You can pinch your screen to turn the picture to align with the direction your travelling make it bigger to easier see the drag lines or smaller to see the whole field.

I like the "distance and area measurement" app for measuring odd-shaped fields. I use it mostly at our club grounds where we have irregular patches of various crops where knowing the acreage is important for fertilizing and spraying. My only gripe about it is that it always defaults to metric units so I have to select feet and acres each time I use it. It's just a small annoyance compared to its usefulness, though. I like the fact that is is quite small (about 2 MB) so it probably isn't loaded down with data-mining spyware like some apps are. (As an example, why does a flashlight app that does nothing but activate the camera flash take 10+ MB? Hmmm . . .)

What is an "APP" ? My Go Phone flip phone does not play "Apps".

Not nessisarily a farm app but I use it every day. FasterScan. I can take any document of picture and used the app to take a picture.
It will then save as a PDF for email. Or I can the. Send it to another app called PDF writer. You can then write or modify the document.
Works great for invoices and deliveries etc. Way easier than going to printer / scanner etc.
