    When I was otr an app called "allstays truck and travel" was what I used. It's expensive but worth every penny.

    I highly recommend it.

    Here's some screen shots if they'll upload [​IMG]

    You just click on a truck stop and it tells you everything. What restaurant they have, how many showers, parking spaces, gps coordinates, how far you are from it. Everything.

    I have an android but most apps are designed for both. Iphones are for artists, Android is for thinkers.

    Google Maps live traffic is number one!

    Then in no particular order:
    accuweather
    emails
    mp3 player
    camscanner
    RPN calculator
    calendar
    TruckSmart (TA/Petro app)
    Transflo mobile scanning
    a couple news links
    Roboform for remembering passwords
    Move! bike computer for tracking my walking exercise miles
    Facebook
    Bank app
    astro file manager
    my verizon
    U-Verse
    quick office
    PDA Net
    Audible (for audio books)
    Podcatcher
    And Google Chrome Browser

    Are you asking just truck related apps or apps in general?

    Trucking related apps:
    Weather underground - weather
    [​IMG]
    FillUp - fuel and DEF mileage tracking
    [​IMG]
    TripLog - load and mileage tracking
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Google Sheets - spreadsheet to track mileage and payroll
    Chicago Traffic Tracker - brings up a map with traffic shown. It also works anyplace not just Chicago.
    [​IMG]
    Of course there isn't any traffic this Sunday morning.
    Tapatalk - to view and participate in this very forum and other forums I belong.
    [​IMG]
    Transflo - bill scanning should I need to scan a bill right away (I normally use the Transflo kiosk at the truckstop).
    Lunar Phase - to alert me of a full moon and to expect traffic to behave more stupid than usual.

    Responding to Ebola guys question

    Yes, mainly apps that are designed with comercial truckers in mind, also apps not intended for truckers but are useful.

    Also Ebola guy, you say you use google sheets, do you prefer that over apples spread sheet app numbers ?
