Travel iPhone Apps :: Bug Spray

An iphone bug repellant?  You've got to be kidding me.  No joke.  It exists and some people actually think it works.  If you don't want the pesky little blood-suckers zing'ing around your ear or circling your head, download this app.  Apparently the mosquitoes get scared away by one of three high-frequency tones the app can emit---not sure if this means that city mosquitoes are scared off by one tone and country mosquitoes another?  Some of the app's reviews say it works well with fruit flies and ants, some say it's effective with mosquitoes, some say it bothers their dogs and others think it doesn't work. What have you got to lose, a few bug bites?  Trying it out sounds good to me. Bug Spray App Details

  • free
  • works with iPhone, iTouch and iPad
  • works in three frequency modes: low, mid, high (mostly undetectable to the human ear)

Travel iPhone Apps :: CameraBag

Reading travel photographer Jeff Pflueger's piece in World Hum about the web-enabled photography revolution confirmed that I must suggest the following iPhone Travel App that I already love and use! CameraBag is a photo filter app that tweaks and distorts pics 12 different ways. It's so popular, it also has a desktop version for those who can't get enough of the magazine, cinema, instant, colorcross, etc... filters. One reviewer notes "a great way to salvage the useless camera on the iPhone." You decide, the price won't set you back much. CameraBag App Details

  • $1.99
  • works with iPhone, iTouch and iPad
  • take a photo or select a photo
  • toggle though the views to see which one best presents the pic
  • save the pic in multiple styles and share

Filter Examples Here is a llama pic I shot at Machu Picchu. The original is on the top left. A sample of CameraBag's 12 filters is below. llamallama lolollama monollama instantllama cinemallama colourcross * original, lolo, mono, * instant, cinema, colorcross

Travel iPhone Apps :: GateGuru

Has the Icelandic Volcano got you down, as in, not in the air?  Find the airport service you're looking for with the ultimate, easy-to-use airport guide for 85 US airports.  This iPhone app acts as an insiders' guide to finding food, shopping and services, so you can sit in one spot and search for a restaurant or spa rather than walking aimlessly down the concourses.   My only wish is that GateGuru would include international airports in the app. GateGuru App Details
