Labor Day weekend is finally upon us. Instead of mourning the end of summer, take the weekend by charge and celebrate as best you can. Here are seven mobile apps that could make your weekend getaway, far or local, as smooth as possible.

You can do this in a pinch with an app and some Internet access. The Weather Channel’s app is free, covers the world and is very comprehensive. (Not to mention that the iPad version is just fun to play around with.)
Knowing the weather forecast is especially important this time of year, given hurricane season and over-the-top temperatures around the country.
