Apps we find useful

Rose here

Just as a piece of info - we found several android apps to be of great use on the road.

YNAB - or You Need a Budget has been the saving grace of our lives in terms of getting back on financial track. I updated the software so I could use the app which syncs with Dropbox. While on the road I've been able to keep track of what we spend and balance it with the moving budget. We know which credit cards to use, how to pay for gas, hotels and meals.

David found a fantastic road map app called Navigator which uses the open source street maps. Irene, the Brit voice has done a very good job of getting us on and off major highways and to the hotels at night.

The Blogger app means we can post while in the truck. For some reason I have not been afflicted with my usual car sickness when reading on the move so I been able to type up posts as soon as I take a picture.

And that brings me to Snapseed, the photo editing app which allows me to crop out the bits of truck which get in the way of a picture.

BTW  - I have deliberately left in all the dead insects and bird poop smudges which show up on the pictures. Just for authenticity!

And lastly the Overdrive app. I can download talking books from the library and play them on my tablet. There is a microphone jack in the truck so we can play music and the audio books through the truck speakers.We know a lot about the scientific make up of a marriage, and how to eat on the wild side!
