Is that an iPhone or Android app? I have an Android. I found one for $1.99 called c-Ultimate Craigslist Client by Escargot Studios that says it will notify you when new matching postings appear on Craigslist. Is this the one you use?

I use three main ones.

1. Craigslist Mobile by YYH Creative. Give me alerts when something is posted and has customizable searches. (absolutely free) no need to buy a pro version

2. scrap metal forum

3. Gasbuddy - Cause when it is your number one expense it always helps to save money!

Yes thats is what I use. I have a DROID. The notification time from the original cl post varies from 2 to 10 minutes it is not instant.

I use Iscrap by Peak Seven. This app shows recycling centers within a 50 or so mile radius. Some of the centers even show current pricing. If the recycling center doesn't show prices, this app will show regional averages. It also allows single click calling to the facility you are looking at to verify pricing quickly. This app is FREE.

Also looked ar PopScrap Recycling Software. This FREE app is for anyone who runs a recycling facility. Check this one out.

The PopScrap software is only a 30 day trial. You will be paying $xxx-$xx,xxx and a monthly fee to use this afterwards. I haven't found any software for free or even reasonably priced for scrap yards.

I use these same ones, However the scrap metal app has not been working if I am signed in it just crashes over and over. If I don't login then it works fine????? Have not had time to mess with that.

I also use Google Drive, and Google Tasks...
Oh and there is one I use for troubleshooting Wifi and testing routers for signal called Wifi Analyser

**rascoil** · 03-02-2013, 07:08 PM

I use this one alot to check prices of local scrap places to keep up with what we pay.

yahoo or google search ( I scrap app ) I tried to put up a link but it just comes back to this site.
