Search for "Google Maps" in the App Store - iPhone section.

It is an iPhone app NOT an iPad app. It is not optimized for the iPad but it does work on an iPad with IOS 5 and IOS 6.

I have an app called Foursquare. It's pretty much a social app, where you "check in" at various locations, like restaurants, golf courses, bars, etc... It's similar to Facebook, in that if your friends have the app and friend you, you can each see where the other person is checking in.

Here's the good part... lots of restaurants or other retail establishments are a part of this app, so when you check in at one of their locations, you might receive a special...like a free drink or appetizer, etc.

For example, Havana Country Club has a special of free nachos with an entree. Regular price for nachos is $8.99. We were there with a large group last Friday and several of us had this app. We were able to get 5 nachos for the large table, free. In the past, Havana has had free drinks with an entree.

We have received lots of special pricing at the Millennia Mall in Orlando by just searching for specials in the area.

Enjoy....

Turns your iPad or iPhone into a tv remote at all hotels and motels

Very cool because remotes in hotels and motels are the worst for germs.

Does anyone know a good word processing app? I will be taking the iPad with me on a cruise and I want to do my diary on it, then later. Email it to my desktop for fine tuning.

New free app in apple App Store. Paint Harmony

Take a photo of a room in your house (may work outside too), tap on a wall, and paint it a new color from a ton of commercial pbrand sample paint colors. Really cool how it paints the wall only and not furniture, wall decor, ceiling,, etc.

If your iPad has a camera, it goes right from take a pic to paint the wall, all integrated in the app.

Just got it so still experimenting.

Pretty cool stuff.

Try adding APPSFORFREE from the Apple store and get some for free appa that are free for a day or two. I found some good ones ones this.

In light of the devastating tornado that ravaged Moore, Ok., I decided to look for apps that warned of tornados. I found an app by The Red Cross, which seems to be very good, called tornado.

You setup the app to "follow you", as well as have a home location. It will send an alert and a sound a siren tone, should there be a tornado warning in your area. I find this especially helpful, if you are traveling and there happens to be a tornado warning in the area you are driving or staying.

This is a FREE APP for iPhone and Android, so I recommend everyone download and install this app.

Using the App store or Google Play, search for TORNADO and download the free Red Cross App.

FYI: The Red Cross has several other apps for Wildfires, Hurricanes, etc. So you might want to check those out too. All are free.
