Geekiest app you have on your phone? 18:31 - Jul 12 with 2732 viewsBelsteadCav

I’ve got 2 which are a bit Geeky

1. The Merlin bird ID. If you can’t see the bird but can hear it, the app will listen to its song and tell you what it is.

2. Star Walk. Hold it up in the nights sky and it will tell you what the stars, Planets and Constellations are.

I guess the saddest is Flightradar. It does as the title says, tracks flights. Rarely used.

I have plenty of apps, but they tend to be things like rail companies, car, travel companies NHS and day to day sort of stuff. Rarely used, of course.

Those are both apps I would like!

On my phone, probably Plantnet which identities plants from a photo. I know Google can do that too.

My Mrs has the bird app. It identifies our little pug as an Egyptian Goose.

It’s the weird snuffle he makes that does it. We compared it with the bird itself and it does sound very similar. The app does say next to the identification that’s it’s highly unlikely to be one,but it makes us smile when it comes up.

I think Flight Radar is fairly standard, along with the ship one too (for anyone who lives by the seas). All my clan have those and various night sky apps too.

Bus Times. For, err, bus times.

Stellarium, similar to Star Walk.

Telescore - football results, Ceefax/Teletext style.

TrailTale - guided walks, although I haven't used it yet.

Oblique Strategies - lateral thinking cards by Brian Eno.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

PokemonTCGLive - downloaded after a deep nostalgia Youtube visit. Opened it once, realised I would never use it and haven't opened it since.

Those two are fantastic. I thought everyone had them, although my night sky one is Stellarium.

And Signalbox for trains as well as Marine Traffic and Flightradar.

I have NightSky for stars, but yes, that and Merlin are mainstays. MLB Trade Rumors (sic) feels fairly nerdy too. And OpenCanals for the annual barge holiday…

I previously had an app which would identify the type of moth from a photo, it could even identify it from the caterpillar. But I had to delete it as it started taking over my life, it metamorphosed into an obsession

Those are two I like the sound of and will get.

As I already have one of my own called Picture This, I may outgeek you. It’s a plant and fungi identifier which tells you if what you’re looking at is toxic to pets and/or humans.

Very useful when you’re at a garden centre wanting to buy plants for parts of the garden that the mutt (who’s both a scavenger and inquisitive) has access to.

I love my FlightRadar App.

If I’m out on my walks and see something interesting regarding Aircraft 9/10 it will tell me what is.

I walked into a dentist's the other night. He said "sit down, what's the problem?"
I said "I think I'm a moth"
He said, "I'm a dentist not a psychiatrist, why did you come in here?"
I said, "I saw the light was on."

It's kind of my whole job to be 'geeky' - I guess right now it would be the app for MCM comic con Birmingham, but failing that I'm doing a bit of work for a company who provide digital versions of comic books on a subscription service- so I've their service downloaded atm, to learn more about it before I film the endorsement.

I’ve got that to try and work out what’s in my garden and also to snap anything nice I see in other people’s front gardens. It’s a great app

Do you still play? I lost interest after Lightfall so never played The Final Shape. Most of my mates carried on past that point but I don't see them playing it much these days
