damnit), and being able to backup them on the go was very nice. The photos I took along the trail are one of the few things I always worried about loosing (and I lost about a week in the Sierras.

I had it set to automatically sync every photo on my phone up to my Pictures folder, and occasionally had my wife back home copy it all outside, to free up some space. I used DropBox to backup all of my photos from along the trail. No solution to writing posts while being offline, uploading posts sometimes result in broken images, trying to edit current posts causes the app to crash. This app is not maintained and is buggy as hell. But it was still better than the official app - BloggerДЄ terrible, terrible app. I also had many occurrences of missing uploaded photos. It would fail uploading a bit too much for my taste. Many times, while in town, on cell service, or some local Wi-Fi, I had to kept trying again and again to upload my posts. I discovered I should вЂњscheduleвЂќ each draft IвЂ™m writing, to the current date of writing it (effectively scheduling it to the past), so that the upload later would post it with the correct date. I found out it was not the case, and at first I had many mismatched blog entries, with wrong dates and locations. At first, I assumed the app will remember the time and location of where I created the drafts, and keep this data for when it actually uploaded it to my blog, when I got into town. IвЂ™d usually write my blog posts in the evening, with no cell service around.

After starting with the official Blogger app (next in line), I found this app to be much much better. I used this app for most of the way, just to write my blog posts from the trail. There are other, similar apps, such as Orux Maps, which might also do the trick. It was really helpful in the High Sierra passes, where Idan led Yair and me safely down snow covered trails. After getting a GPS fix, I could immediately see where I was in relation to the trail. That, along with HalfmileвЂ™s GPX file was all I actually needed to hike the trail and stay on it.

I had file that contained full topo maps of the entire PCT corridor, for offline use (IвЂ™ll post it in my next post).

While the link directs to the trial version (I think itвЂ™s good for a week), the full version does cost a bit (I think itвЂ™s $15. Now we are in the big league - this is one of the most useful apps I had. I never tried NOOK Audiobooks, but I would guess itвЂ™s quite similar to Audible. The base price is ~$15, but I got an offer of ~$7.5 for several month, in my (finally successful) cancellation process. Just make sure you do cancel your account after downloading your book - they are very persistent with their вЂњare you sure?вЂќ dialogs, and I managed to miss it and ended up paying for one extra month. I must admit - the 2nd book I took was total crap. Usually before long climbs, IвЂ™d put on the book IвЂ™m currently listening to. And Audible offer a free first month, in which you can just get 1 free book. I really got into listening to audio books on the trail. The screen is smaller, and the battery life is not as good, but it does the trick. I personally did not read any eBooks on the trail, but for anybody who thinks about carrying a Kindle or NOOK device with him, this is a better option, in my opinion.

Here is a list of the apps I used on the trail, along with a few that were disappointing or just werenвЂ™t used that much. While my specific phone is not the most recommended model for the task (ItвЂ™s battery is really not up for the challenge), I did enjoy it for many different uses and scenarios. I knew it will come in handy both as a phone, to keep in touch with my family, and as a way to access the internet. A long time before I started my hike, I decided IвЂ™ll carry my Nexus 4 phone with me on the trail.
