just got a really cheap phone & deal £7.50 a month Carphone WH (Sony Experia E4) Biggish screen for a phone but
Basically wanted it for, apart from a phone, the "chart plotter" from Visitmyharbour, which is successfully loaded and working, but I've also added other free apps which you might find useful.
Saildroid - turns phone into a handheld GPS (haven't tried this one yet but looks like you can use it just like you would a GPS ie add waypoints etc) https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .saildroid
Uk tides https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... id.uktides works OK
Spirit level https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... piritlevel Works OK
flashlight https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... ight.panel works OK
I'm sure there are others out there but these were free and they all work ok
I have also got a spectrum analyser, guitar tuner, etc etc I'm hooked. Anybody else got any "interesting" ones?

Hi Mick
I use "Findship" and "UK Tides" on my phone and for a note pad I think "Fast notepad" is great and dead easy to use, all free in Google playstore.
