Phone Apps.

I spent part of the day downloading various apps for my phone...
It blows me away all the stuff you can get.
I downloaded a app to tell me when the International Space Station or as we now call it around here the International Play Station due to a tounge slip of mine.

And one to check my speed which I think tells you where speed cameras are placed..I dont speed but it so easy to drift up there on the long trips I make between here and Sydney.
And another to tell me where I am and height above sea level...now it should be handy for mout set up.

And an accelerometer which I dont know what to do with....maybe put it on the mount to see if there is vibration.

And a language translator..you speak and it comes out in what you want...

And a speech to text app that did not need training and I could not trip up...
And a magic video editor...so far ahead of the one I had only 18 mths ago...

It seems that there is nothing you cant get your phone to do.
What a wonderful thing and mine only cost $150.
I had a chess game on my old phone thst I played over 1000 games and heck if I could have had that when a kid living in a town where only a few people played the game.
A such a pity that phone died as I had one game at the highest level and won..I was so proud because I did not think you could beat it at the highest level so I never played at the high level so the stats showed a 100% sucess rate ...
I cant seem to get a metal detector..apparently handy if you drop a screw in the grass etc.
So any exciting apps I should get or anything that you find appealing interesting and maybe even useful.
Wow the alarm just went off for the ISS or IPS as I now call it...and heck lookinh at some utube videos of astronauts up there IPS is applicable...anyone seen what happens when they grab a fidget spinner☺

Thanks I have it now...I do have two others that I also dont use☺
My phone does not seem to accomodate auto mode which I would enjoy...your suggested app says auto is on but so far nothing...I plan to get out of bed a wave the phone around to see if it will do auto.
Thanks its display in better than my other two.
