2017 Hunting Apps

I know many people have no interest in using the latest app from Apple or Android to assist in hunting. While I started hunting many years before the first smart phone, I have grown quite fond of a few apps on the iPhone. I would like to mention some apps I have used, and also hear what apps everyone else is using.

What apps are you using in 2017? What are some basics to the app? What makes it better than the next app that does similar or the same thing?

1) My favorite app is Wunderground. Weather is the most important factor to determine if, where, when, how I hunt. One key part to hunting (in my opinion) is the barometric pressure. Not only does this app show the current reading, but this year it now forecast what the barometric pressure will do later. I have not found any other app that will do this.

2) Hunt Stand: This app is fantastic for gps tracking. I do not just use the app, but I also use their website at home. It offers a lot of tagging/marking abilities such as stand locations, trails, sighting and much more. I really like the ability to see property boarders.

3) Field View: I have not tested a whole lot of this app, but its great for monitoring how much rain your fields received the day before. While I dont have any private land to set up food plots, I still like to see this information. For anyone with food plots, this would be a fantastic app.

I have also used some bad apps. I am not a fan of the app the Fishing and Wildlife has put out there. It seams too cumbersome to use, and doesnt offer many features for hunting.

I would love to hear about your favorite apps, or ones you have had a bad experience with.

 

Yes it does, but you have to pre load the map while you have cell service.

 

How good is the KY map on X Maps?
