Future Article

Looking to put together an article providing details on the various Android and iPhone apps you can get for your phone and/or tablet that are useful at the gaming table. They don't have to be actual gaming apps (although they are good) and system doesn't matter.

If you know of any, please email me at dpmcalister [at] ukroleplayers.com with the name of the app and a paragraph or two on why you find it useful. If you can provide a link to the AppStore or Android Market for it so much the better. Thanks.

(I recently purchased a SIM free Samsung Galaxy Y from Argos, for £130.)

Some apps that I downloaded:

Dice Bag
Role Playing Dice
Diceroller (although I think Dice bag is better)
Adobe Reader
Amazon Kindle

Dr Who Sounds and Ringtones
Doctor Who 10th Doctor SB (soundboard)
Doctor Who 11th Doctor SB (soundboard)
RockPlayer Lite (it plays Windows Media files)

On my Android phone I have the following:

Spellbook - Pathfinder
Spellbook - D&D3.5
Summoner (a Pathfinder app for summoned monsters)

Thanks guys. I've not had a chance to test all of the apps I've found so I'm going to put up a list (with links to the Android Market) of all the ones I've found that I feel could be useful (which includes a few of those you've both mentioned ). Hopefully it can then becoming a living article and be regularly updated with comments from visitors

Need to tidy up all the links/formatting, but I hope to have it up later today.

What about apps for us BlackBerry Phone users?

Personally I know none but there must be some out there for us.

[dpmcalister]

I don't have a Blackberry so don't know of any (likewise with any Apple products). That said, if anyone wants to put together a list, with links, I will happily put it up as an article.
