Of all the seasons, summertime is when I\u2019m most likely to be away from home. I can\u2019t pass up hiking in this comfy weather or cooling off at the nearby theaters. Two apps are perfect for me and my friends whether we\u2019re indoors or out:<\/p>\n

Fandango Movies – for Android<\/a> and iPhone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Fandango\"<\/a>Fandango Movies is the #1 ticketing app for movies, and its smartphone app lives up to its starlit reputation. If you\u2019re like me, being able to purchase tickets straight from a cellphone is huge! I never like to risk missing out on a blockbuster or award winner. And, since I rarely tote my laptop with me while on vacation, this cellphone app solves that issue, too.<\/p>\n

It never matters which part of town you\u2019re in because Fandango Movies\u2019 \u201cSpotlight\u201d feature enables you to find the best show times or nearby theater location based on your own location. I can filter movies by genre, rating or format (including IMAX & 3D), read reviews and watch trailers. I\u2019m also a little particular about theater amenities, but no problem. Fandango Movies shows me those, too.<\/p>\n

You know how I enjoy giving my reviews, so I love being able to rate the movies I see, good or bad to save all my friends\u2019 time and money. But the best thing about Fandango Movies might be this: worry free tickets! If for some reason I can\u2019t make it to the movie, Fandango will let me return or exchange my tickets for a refund or Fandango credit. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever go back to the old way of buying them.<\/p>\n

AllTrails \u2014 for Android<\/a> and iPhone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"All<\/a>Wouldn\u2019t it be perfect if you could browse thousands of hiking and biking trails across the country all from your cellphone? With the highly rated AllTrails app, you can have 50,000 at your fingertips!<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, AllTrails allows me to pack in more summertime fun by checking out the photos and reviews first before planning the next adventure. I browse and scout out whichever trails are nearest to me and then view topographic maps, elevations and routes for each. Other AllTrail app users rate trails, too, which is invaluable. You can also find trails that are dog-friendly or wheelchair accessible.<\/p>\n

AllTrail is one smart app, too. Realizing that there may be no Internet service when you\u2019re in the thick of Sasquatch territory, AllTrail is designed to give you access to its entire trail database without Internet. How handy is that! And, if I discover a great new trail, AllTrail lets me record, track and share where I go using my phone’s GPS. It even geo-tags the photos. Then it\u2019s easy for me to share them and revisit the same trailheads again.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also really cool how the app lets you add new trails not already in their database. Being a wordsmith, I love to write my own trail reviews and post them there, too.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m actually headed right now to a new trailhead. After I stop to grab my gear, I\u2019ll review the trail map again on the app to plan my ascent. Then afterwards, it\u2019s back to the theater to cool off with friends at a great flick. After all, it is summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
