San Fran Explore app for iPad

Since I was in San Francisco all week, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about a couple apps I downloaded before the trip. The first one is an app that helps you get around, while the second one shows a bit of the history of this city.

The first one will help you get around the city. The San Francisco Exploration App tells you about all the attractions in your vicinity. There are photos to peruse, a deals section to help your shopping experience, and even a place to comment on certain attractions.

This app is free, with a $2.99 purchase to get offline content.

San Francisco for iPad

To get a bit of the SF history, you might want to check out San Francisco by Byss. This app has 10 really nice panoramic views of the city right before the gold rush. You can see some great drawings in panoramic, with 2500% zoom. This will give you an idea of San Frans’ history.

ElectroTrains for iPad

If you are a railroader, then this app is for you. I grew up in a model railroading family, so I know how some railroaders get into this. My Dad went from railroading, to building a miniature circus. Of course, in order to participate in train shows, the circus had to be brought in on a train.

Train lovers like a good train track. They also love a good challenge. That is what ElectroTrains is all about.

You are given a track, with 3 stations – Red, Blue and Green. The train color tells you which station to go to. When the train is empty, it turns white. At that point, you let it go through.

Touch the train to push it forward. Some trains go fast, others go slow. Don’t let one train hit another, or else the game is over.

You have  different maps to choose from. The app is .99 cents and has a 4 star rating. You can also download this app for iPhone and iPod. Check out ElectroTrains Website (electrotrains.blogspot.com)
