Favorite Phone Apps

[Jdbillin]

Curious what all phone apps everyone uses daily for both working on the job and bidding jobs

I really want to find a nice app for calculating fill (stone and dirt) but I'm having trouble finding one I'm happy with

I have the Measure Master Pro I use as my calculator and one called Slope I use all the time when running tile.

Thanks

Nobody uses any apps?

I constantly use a simple app that is called," simply convert units" Area, temperature, pressure, volume etc. You put in the number you work with and you get all the other values converted. Another app I use is pretty specific. It's called vibe2know you place your phone in a magnetic case and stick it to whatever your working on. It is for measuring vibration. Theis is helpful with troubleshooting screens, compactors and anything else that creates a vibration. As long as you can slap your phone on the side, you're good to go.

I need an app that can repair equipment while I sit and have a beer.

True, but YouTube isn't turning the wrenches for me. LOL

Memento database is probably my most used app for business. I haven't found much that beats it for record keeping

Sorry, I don't do cut & fills so no input on those types of apps. Others that I find useful as follows:

John Deere Power Assist = looking up all engine parts John Deere with engine serial number for unique build lists.

Clime: NOAA weather radar live = fairly accurate weather app (one of very few I will pay for)

Google Keep: notes, reminders, checklists and more - shares across all phones, tablets and computers on your Google account so you can access it anywhere.

NOAA Mobile Magnetic Declination: access via https://ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/mobileDeclination.shtml and save as a page link for fast access. Best compass app that shows current magnetic declination and true north for faster, easier following of property lines from plat information.

Be sure to try the "layers" that include future precipitation and more than just current radar.

None- I have a flip phone, I hate smart phones....

I have a NOAA weather radio, a Construction Master 5 calculator, and a paper notebook in the truck. All I've ever needed over the past 20+ yrs of business.
