Here in the US, we’re celebrating Memorial Day. It’s the day we set aside to remember and honor the men and women who serve our country in the military.
It’s also the unofficial start of summer, a time when we dust off our grills, cook with fire and spend time outside. Before you step outside, grab one of these five apps to increase your fun. Happy Memorial Day!
Bug Spray (free) supposedly emits high-frequency tones that repel flying insects. Back in my day, we just set up one of those zappers. if you prefer a more contemporary approach, this may be it…with a few caveats. From the manufacturer: “Do not use around infants, small children, individuals who are hearing impaired or people who are incapable of physical response to sound.” Hmm. Seems this app repels more than bugs.
Weather Bug for iPhone and iPad (both free) will let you know if you’re planning a backyard BBQ in vain. Get up-to-the-minute weather updates for your neighborhood, browse weather cams, watch animated maps and more. If you like a more minimalist presentation, consider WeatherStation Pro ($1.99) for iPad or Outside ($2.99) for iPhone.
