There's an app for everything. While I'm still waiting for an app that can diagnose wheelchair problems, loads of other amazing apps are being developed for other important situations, including those designed to make driving a whole lot easier (and safer too). But don't download just any old app. Check out the driving apps below for a peek at some the best ones available.
iOnRoad: It's usually never a good idea to use your phone when you're driving (if you can help it), but if you're new to driving, or maybe are just worried about your driving abilities (maybe you're going on a long road trip and are worried about getting sleepy), the iOnRoad app is one amazing app. This app uses your phone's camera and GPS to alert you to the proximity of nearby vehicles, helping prevent possible collisions. The app has built-in sensors that do the alerting and it gives audiovisual warnings if you get too close to another vehicle. And your phone is mounted on your dash when this app is in use.
aCar: Everyone could use a reminder for maintenance for their vehicle, and the aCar app is just the ticket to make sure you never forget your next oil change. This free app tracks your fuel mileage and also tracks mileage and expenses for business-related travel. It also gives a great run down of how much you spend on gas each month and even the average you paid per gallon. aCar can be used on more than one vehicle.
iExit: Finally, when you're near your destination, the iExit app is a simple and easy way to find out what's coming up, in real-time, at the next interchange and interstate. It tells you where nearby restaurants, hotels and gas stations are at your upcoming exit, helping you find exactly what you're looking for in the fastest time possible. A great app for road trips.
These driving apps are just a sampling of some of the best ones out there. Remember, you can always search for a specific app (if you're looking for one to cater to a specific driving issue), if you don't see it listed here. Happy driving!
