I have most of those....Tide Graph.... speed box......blackgold......knot time.....anti mosquito....decibel......all of these are great.

my wife has one of those phone's and over the weekend she was able to look at the weather rader and tell me let's get back to the dock :) and within a half hour from us getting back to the dock it rain like crazy .

What's the best weather app?? Johnny what is the speed box?

I like radarscope the best, it is just radar and not weather. It kept me out of the storms on Lake Travis last Saturday.

Speedbox is basicly a gps speedo...does digital and analog. I bought a real nice motorcycle mount off eBay and it works dead even with mygps speedo.

whats the best radar app?? Trying to use safari to pull up the closest radar on the local news station is a total hassle. We just need it to see where the rain is this time of year.

Weather channel has their own app that works well.

From the reviews I read, none of the radar apps are that good. I just added a bookmark in Safari to take me straight to my local radar on Accuweather. Works great.

thanks grabbed a couple that I didn't already have

I like radarscope the best. It has always been very accurate on the road and the water.

and don't forget Pocket Tunes.... on this app you get sirius and xm satalite radio........ and it works great too.....

Pocket Tunes? Do you need the Sirius subscription?

I think you at least need the subscription to listen online.....if i am not mistaken it is very cheap.....and the best part is you don't need to be outside......

I have both....just curious. Does it only work on a WiFi or through the 3G network too?

Is that right......the magazine had it at $49.99......

Works with wi-fi and 3g......

"b i t c h i n" :evilb::drink:

Somebody needs to come up with a prop slip calculator app...

What about "decibel" to test exhaust noise?

Sound level. Free too!

I wouldn't think the I phones mic can handle much level.

You can get cheap hand held spl meters at radio shack. Like the one that you use to set up your home theater levels, they can do both "A" and "C" weighting.

Nort I thought you still had a brick phone? :D

Or was it bag I forget?

I use Navitronics US WEST, and EAST LAKES. Cant remember what they cost but they even work on the Ohio to show bouys. As far as weather goes I LOVE the Weather Channel. You can also make a link from Safari on your home page to www.crh.noaa.gov to view your local hydrographs :)

There's also a Miss Geico app.

Don't have a link, but I do have a screencap.
You can probably figure out why. :drink:

Harbor Master

You get to play harbor master (they have a "lite" version too).

Not boating but a real time SUCK!!!

"Angry Birds"

I use the weather channel max. Works great for weather, and radar!

Now your talkin.

Bill, good stuff. But like wildman grafix said, does the mic on the phone handle it?
