Portland Essentials, as the name suggests, is an essential app. This app packs in tons of content! There are some nice little gems that only locals would know and also the more well-known spots to check out. The book app is well put together and the real key to this app is the fantastic content.

Portland Insider is another excellent book resource. This app will help you discover things not contained in the Portland Essentials app. Both are excellent resources for both residents and tourists of Portland.

City of Portland Citizen Reports allows citizens to report vandalism, potholes, street lighting, and much more.

The app is highly polished and unlike any other city run app we have seen.

The Portland Art Museum app contains maps of the museum, information about their exhibits, and a special keypad that can be used in the museum. Once again, this Portland app shows how apps like this should be done. Best of all, this is a free app.

Only in Portland will there be an open-source bus app for the iPhone! This app is a thing of beauty. It has just about everything you need. This includes a map of the system, bus arrivals, and it even has a little flash feature for use at night to alert bus drivers that you are at the stop. PDX Bus is a free app for the iPad and iPhone that you should not be without.

One restaurant you will not want to miss while you are in Portland is Big-Ass Sandwiches. They have fantastic sandwiches that can only be had in Portland.
