It is no secret that I am a huge lover of all things Apple.  My iPhone4 and iPad are loved like members of the family.  So when I find an App that I love, I have to share with everyone!

AroundMe is probably my #3 most used app behind Calengoo and TheWeatherChannel.   AroundMe uses GPS to locate your exact location when the app is launched, and will then tell you everything that is near – Gas Stations, Grocery Stores, Hospitals, Banks, Hotels, Movie Theaters… you can even search for a specific business using their search function.

I fell in love with AroundMe the first month I had my iPhone when I was out it the outskirts of Tallahassee Florida for a party.   I had foolishly forgotten about the time difference between Pensacola and Tallahassee, so I was on the verge of being late to my party when I saw my gas light come on.  Naturally the party was WAY out in the boonies, so I went to my party, praying I would not run out of gas before I found a gas station (in the dark) on the way home.  After my party I hopped in the car and called Mike to put him on notice that I may run out of gas, and he would then have to travel the 2 hours to come get me.  He was not thrilled, and reminded me of AroundMe. Turned out I was less than 1 mile from a gas station – heading the OPPOSITE direction from the Interstate, so without AroundMe, I would never have found it.

AroundMe not only lets you locate the venue you are looking for, but will show you a map, guide you there step by step, give you the phone number to the location, and even let you add it to your contacts for use later. I absolutely love it!
