Great topic. Interesting to see some apps I've never heard of that look useful. I may need a bigger memory card! 

 

Apps (Android) that I use which may not have not been mentioned: 

 

CacheSense - geocaching (am I the only one here?), also useful for first-hand reports on local conditions and obscure campsites. 

Earthmate - DeLorme app for use with inReach satellite communicator; has detailed topo maps. 

Feedly - reader for keeping current with my favorite news, entertainment and blogging websites. 

Instagram - photo posting from phone. 

Mr. Number - call blocker, nothing worse than being interrupted by spam calls. 

Oregon Trip Checker - Oregon DOT's app similar to their TripCheck webpage. 

PDF Maps - good for looking at maps downloaded as PDF files of which there are many including Forest Road classifications. 

Stuck On Earth - photo travel ideas. 

Torque - OBD2 reader for truck, in case diagnostics are needed on the trail. 

Uconnect Access - remote access to vehicle doors and starting. 

Wander The West - of course! 

Wildfire - info and links, an unpleasant fact of life in the West.

I wrote a very popular public campground app called The Ultimate US Public Campground Project:

 https://itunes.apple...d698323700?mt=8

It uses the data from the website http://www.ultimatec...om/uc/index.php

While AllStays has KOAs and the like, this app has far more public campgrounds, and only public campgrounds.
