Ask HN: What are some useful apps for living in San Francisco?

Caltrain droid - have Caltrain map and schedule on you always without privacy sucks.

The 311 app (https://sf311.org/mobile) is really useful to report hazardous things (e.g: needles).

BartRunner if you commute with Bart.

Lyft, Amazon Prime Now, TaskRabbit, Maps

Tentsegritty sends alerts when free tents are being distributed

StepWriteUp provides Waze-like pedestrian alerts for where there's human waste on your route

Chopp.ly offers real-time competitive bids on used bike parts

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few

If you have kids, Galore is awesome for finding activities: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/galore-kids-activities-camps...

Zillow is nice so you can see how many millions of dollars that crack house on the corner with no plumbing is worth this week.

Bloomberg or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Rich

Riding a bicycle, so an offline OSM bike route app.

There's an app called SF Climates that shows microclimate data for SF. Quite useful as there can be a 30 degree difference between neighborhoods! (I have screenshots to confirm.)

Other than that, generally staying abreast of the latest startups that are offering promotions with VC money is a good idea.

eBook reader apps with a San Francisco Library Card - you will have free access to thousands of eBooks and magazines.
