Amazon Free App of the Day

Where would you like to start with this one, three 5 star ratings and 12 (twelve) 1 star ratings? How about the fact that they say the app contains no ads but they have an entire page of them? Or the fact that they use your GPS coords, to provide the info, thereby draining your battery?

That would be convenient for someone who travels a lot. All my weather thingies require me to enter the location.

You must have the wrong 'weather thingies'. All of mine (1Weather, WeatherBug, Accuweather, and Weather.com will automatically show weather for my current location. Most allow you to set whether the determine location using network or GPS.

Correction, the one on my N7 2013 doesn't ask where I am, it knows. Now that I'm awake and thinking, the others are all on devices that don't have a GPS.

There you go. You got a zip code, you can get a weather forecast. This app gets its info from Weather Underground. B4J welcome to the discussion!

B4J welcome to the discussion!

Yes definitely, JB and I were getting pretty lonesome here all by ourselves.

BTW I think there's a chapter of your MC in Gainesville, MO. Is that the one you belong to?

I'll pass this one to Gloria.

Good idea, otherwise she'll be out of practice if she has to take over in an emergency.

Surely you didn't think you were all alone in here. I'm sure there are many other lurkers who appreciate what you 3 are doing. Now we don't have to open the Amazon app store every day for fear of missing a great FAOTD.

I'm on the other kind of 'bike' (the kind you have to pedal), and I split my time between Jackson, MS & Baton Rouge, LA.

Never been to Jackson, but I liked Baton Rouge. Home of LSU and the first Ruth's Chris Steakhouse I ever ate at, but not the last.

I remember installing an app similar to supermarket management , they are fun apps for kids and they learn something as well. Hi, biking4jesus, good name! How many miles do do you ride a day?

This looks like a very fun game and it is free, if you do not mind them having access to your network information. Some of the lower ratings reviews said that they do have IAPs for you to buy additional puzzles for $5 each. Yikes! No problem for me as I'd never get that far.

Thanks for the heads-up re: IAPs JB. I edited my post to add the warning. Seems like a long time since we've had to do that, and I was hoping they'd stopped doing it for the FAOTD. Guess not.
