What apps do you use?

I am curious to see what apps everyone is using. Either for tides, weather, navigation or for any other reasons.

I currently use tide chart and tides apps to check the tides, then I use forecast fishing for weather. I have also downloaded a Navionics for nav and mapping. This is the area I would really like to find a good app to use. I have not tried Navionics yet so I don't know how helpful it will be.

What apps is everyone using or would you recommend I look into?

Download the weather channel app for doppler weather. Used it on Saturday to catch a yellow.

I just listen to a climatologist who said we are heading into a Super El Nino.

Measurements are off the charts, expect a lot of rain in So California.

And Tuna, And Dodos and perhaps Wahoo

Thanks for the suggestion on the weather Chanel app. I downloaded it for iPhone and was trying to find the water temp section but was not able to locate it. How did you get the water temps?

You do realize you dont need any additional app for radar?
