I was delighted to find that KOA compiled a list of useful camping apps. I have not used any yet but will try them while on my trip. The KOA list:
1. Study Stars: GoSkyWatch Planetarium
Easily and quickly identify and locate stars, planets, constellations, galaxies and more by simply pointing to the sky. It’s your personal telescope to the wonders in the night sky. Go outside and explore with GoSkyWatch Planetarium. Download It
2. Find Your Way: Spyglass
While time consuming to master, Spyglass is a powerful toolkit essential for every outdoorsman. You can use it as a waypoints tool, sextant, compass, range finder, speedometer, inclinometer and more — tagging, sharing, finding and tracking your position, multiple locations, bearings, sun, moon and stars, all in real time. Download It
3. Identify Wildlife: MyNature Animal Tracks
MyNature Animal Tracks is the easy, fun way to indentify animal tracks and scat. Now you’ll know what type of animal walked where you did, which way they’re heading and when they were there — making your time outdoors more educational and entertaining. Download It
4. Light Your Way: Flashlight
When it’s dark out, use ExactMagic’s Flashlight to brighten your path. This simple, but incredibly handy app turns your mobile device into a bright flashlight with the click of a button. Download It
5. Stay Safe: Army Survival
The U.S. Army knows how to train their personnel to survive. Their field manual is the most authoritative guide on survival. This app provides a complete reference guide on basic survival, evasion, first aid and recovery information should you ever find yourself in such a precarious situation. Download It
6. Keep Pests Away: Bug Spray – Ultrasonic
This ingenious app emits high frequency tones that have the effect of repelling insects. These high frequency tones are above the hearing range of most people, so you won’t hear them — but you’ll certain notice fewer mosquitoes buzzing around. Download It
7. Stay Informed: AccuWeather

The app features hourly and 15-day weather forecasts for 2.7 million locations worldwide — and includes alerts for severe weather storms. Download It
