Apps for the Cruise

I got this link in an email from Frommers who shared a list of cruise apps.
http://www.frommers.com/articles/7228.html

I'd add a good weather app to complete the Frommers' list. Someone
recommended Weatherbug. Here's a list of weather apps.

The same person likes the free Oanda currency converter app. 

There is a free app from Tourism Victoria if you have a Blackberry, iPhone, 
Android phone or iTouch at http://m.tourismvictoria.com/
"Specific features on the app include: activity ideas, interactive and GPS 

enabled maps, a calendar of events, and a direct Twitter link. Attractions, 
accommodations, transportation, outdoor activities, dining, shopping, theatre, 
arts and entertainment, tours, and various visitor services listing are all capable 
of direct connection from the app by phone, email, or website." Described in 
Douglas Magazine  http://www.douglasmagazine.com/

Lonely Planet updated their San Francisco travel guide app in February. 
At this time, it's free for the iPad, iPhone or iTouch.

Reviews are mixed.

If you have an iPad,iPhone or iTouch, there's a travel guide app on 

the Inside Passage for $1.99 at iTunes . The author has been recommended

The TripAdvisor app for the iPad 2, iPhone, and iPod Touch added a new
feature, introducing a touch of "augmented reality" via the devices' cameras.
Trip Advisor forums are available on Tapatalk, another app.
