Amazon's Free App of the Day - Trip Journal

written by: Nick Kosmides


Trip Journal is today's free app of the day from Amazon's famed Appstore.  So long as Apple doesn't get the best of them, we will continue to call it the "Appstore".

At only $0.99, I can't imagine what you couldn't live without with this vacation journal.  Given that you have a GPS signal where you are vacationing, you can use it to track yourself in-app.  While enroute, take pics, video and notes for location specific memories. Maybe your on an expedition and you use an SLR, Red video camera and pen and paper.  Well not anymore my friend! For only $0.99 or free today you can throw all that equipment you wasted about $20,000 on and do everything from your Android phone.

I kid, I only kid.  Seriously, I think thats what this app is telling us.  Maybe for the average Mac user, this is perfect.  Though given that this is an Android app, not sure how many people other than myself have an Android device and use a Mac at home.  Maybe more than I think.  Trip Journal has excellent sharing options including Facebook, Picasa (Google Photos), Flickr, YouTube and Twitter.  I'm not sure why you'd share with Google Earth, but that option is there too.

For the budding adventurer or Indiana Jones wannabe that has the time to snap of photo of his assailant before whipping him into shape, download Trip Journal to make a fancy mobile multimedia memory.
