10 must have apps for outdoor enthusiasts

[Sytes]

Alltrails is pretty good for map scouting though I do that at home on a large screen vs a phone size.

A good one, if it works well - plant identification. Wouldn't hurt to have it.

I've used GAIA a while ago though w/ OnX, GAIA is not necessary, IMO.

Peakvisor is w/in OnX so not really too interested.

Star walk 2 seems a fun novelty app. Massive clusters of stars at night are enjoyable to view - sounds like a fun add.

Don't care much for campground locators, carin crowd sourced, nor geocaching though if any of the apps are worth your interest, figure the article's worth sharing.

Cheers

The merlin app is pretty sweet. It listens and then tells you the birds you hear making noise.

Peakvisor is within OnX? Where?

Intent of comment - I'm able to identify peaks on OnX.

Ones I find helpful not in the article are

• National Park Trail Guide
• NPS (National Park Service)
• Picture Mushroom
• Shroomify Mushroom ID
• SnakeSnap
• WeatherBug

Surprisingly i would say PlantNet has provided the some of the best bang for the buck. It helps me determine invasive trees and plants so I can figure out the best way to kill them. For years people were calling this invasive species russian olive and it turned out to be bush honeysuckle.

This one makes me sad because I can't hear a lot of forest birds. I try to identify the one I can hear and it tells me there are like 3 or 4 others making sounds.

You can play back the individual bird sounds once it identifies them.

Podbean, Audible, Cribbage and Yahtzee are my go-to apps while hunting solo.

iNaturalist would be fun if you have kids around.

@Sytes: The one that I use is called PictureThis. Use it in the woods, and in the garden around the house.

I use Seek. It’s basically the same as iNaturalist, it’s the same program that’s used to identify plants/animals.

As mentioned above, the Merlin bird app is pretty sweet.

I used the free version of Trout Routes, which has recently been acquired by OnX. It was started by some Minnesota guys who seem cool.

Last but not least Instagram so I can see how Cam Hanes calf development has been coming along.

I like Windy

an app that shows you wind and weather. It zooms in very well for canyons, ridges, and mountains. It helps me with planning routes for archery or rifle hunting.
