Information - Apps We Use

Several people have asked up how we develop our blog.  One of the most common questions is what apps do we use.  We’re Apple, iPad, and iPhone junkies so we’re working through the iTunes App store. 

And mainly we use only two apps.  One for recording the map for the hike which is Motion GPS.  The other is AyeTides (iPad)  or AyeTide XL (iPad) to check the tides for our beach hikes or trying to time our arrival with the Turnagain Arm bore tide or the rush of water at the Homer Spit Fishing hole.  AyeTides also provides the sunrise/sunset times which helps us pick depart times for the best photos. 


We also use a number of weather apps but there is no real front-runner.  The weather in Alaska seems to be hard to forecast and we are constantly cross checking them.  But we’re always prepared on our hikes for inclement weather.
