10 cool iphone apps for veg-heads

I love my iPhone. And I love the fact that there are so many cool apps for veg-heads and the environmentally conscious. Best of all, most apps are free or cost very little. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:

  1. Vegan Steven (Free):  Using iPhone's GPS, this handy app locates vegan and veg-friendly eateries near you.
  2. Vegan YumYum (Free): A mobile collection of some of  Lauren Ulm's favorite recipes, complete with her gorgeous photography.
  3. iVegetarian (Free): You can never have too many free veg restaurant guides.
  4. Cruelty Free (Free): A shopping guide featuring cruelty-free companies that have earned the Leaping Bunny logo.
  5. iRecycle: Helps you find recycling locations throughout the United States.
  6. VegOut ($2.99): An extensive listing of vegan, vegetarian and veg-friendly restaurants, powered by every veg traveler's favorite site, Happy Cow. 
  7. Veggie Passport ($1.99): Allows you to explain your dietary choices in more than 30 languages. A must for travelers.
  8. Vegan Express ($1.99): This handy app gives you a quick overview of vegan foods available in 110 chain restaurants. Makes eating out easier. Great for business travel.
  9. 3rd Whale (Free): Points you to healing and wellness professionals, natural food resources, and environmentally conscious retail within walking, biking and driving distance.
  10. Natural Cures (Free): A database of natural remedies for everything from acid reflux to zits.

Great post, thanks for doing this. The Veggie Passport is totally necessary on overseas trips! Eating abroad can be a little tricky sometimes as a vegan

I didn't know these were even on my phone. Thanks for the info!

Good job!
But, when I looked at the veg passport one it was only vegetarian without a vegan option. Did it change? Hope so! Vegetarian passport is useless.

Isn't it odd the cruelty free products app isn't free, and has no ads? I mean, people are going to use as they browse the store aisles...

that seems like a way better approach that paying $2 to verify KMS doesn't test on animals, but is also too cool to label their stuff to stay that...

With the apps Foodstuffs, you can search for vegan foodadditives.
