5 Amazing Car Apps That Make the iPhone Every Driver’s Best Friend

August 2, 2013

The iPhone has been one of the main reasons for the downfall of the mp3 player. With the entire iTunes library at your disposal at all times, why would someone plugin their mp3 player to the car stereo or listen to good ol’ FM? However playing your favorite tunes isn’t the only thing that the iPhone can do for you in the car. Here are 5 amazing car apps that will help you make the most of your Apple smartphone.

iPhone Car Apps You Can’t Do Without

TripAlyzer

Tripalyzer iPhone Car Apps

TripAlyzer is the best iOS app there is to record and analyse various statistics for a trip. It does the usual things like displaying your current speed, your average speed for the trip, the duration and the distance covered on the trip, as well as the highest speed you have hit on the road. But, in addition to simply displaying the information, the app records all of it so that you can analyse the information at your convenience. The app also keeps track of the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. It doesn’t matter if you are interested in the just the stats or are seeking to become a better driver, TripAlyzer of the iPhone is a must-have.

Dynolicious

For the performance enthusiast, iPhone car apps don’t come any better than Dynolicious. The app makes full use of the in-built accelerometer of the iPhone to provide you with a wide range of statistics. Like any full-sized dyno, the app can tell you exactly how many horses are finding their way from the engine to the tires. The app also calculates other performance stats, including acceleration figures and an in-built stopwatch to record your 0-60 times. Along with displaying real time data, the app stores all the stats for easy access and analysis, at your convenience. You really wouldn’t want to put the family minivan on a real dyno, but you can use this app to get the crucial performance statistics.

g-tac

g-tac is the perfect partner in crime for Dynolicious. Whatever statistics are not recorded by the Dynolicious app can all be figured out by g-tac. Primarily, g-tac is an app that records g-forces during acceleration, braking and cornering. When combined with the information from Dynolicious, what you have is a huge chunk of information that only race car drivers generally receive from the vehicle’s telemetry. What makes g-tac so much better than similar apps on the iTunes store is the fact that g-tac can compensate for any mechanical and aerodynamic drag, thus being able to provide more accurate stats.

GasBuddy

Some things are inevitable; no matter how much we wish, we cannot hope to put a stop to it. The cost of gas going up is one of those inevitable facts. We may like to think that it’s only temporary and that the prices will come back down soon again. We may have even done a rain dance to invoke mystical powers that will freeze gas prices, but the sad reality is that gas prices will keep going up. Rather than moaning and complaining about rising gas prices, your time will be better spent looking for the cheapest gasoline retailer in the vicinity. That is where GasBuddy steps into the picture. The app searches for and displays the nearest gas stations, along with gas prices. You can sort the gas stations either by distance or by price of gas.

Trapster

Trapster - iPhone Car Apps

Nobody likes getting a ticket. It’s not so much about losing points on your driver’s license; it’s more about forking out the cash to pay for the fine. After spending so much on your iPhone, wouldn’t it be nice if your phone could help you save money by avoiding speed traps? Traditionally, the only way you found out about a cop lurking in the shadows with a speed gun was due to the generosity of oncoming drivers who would flash their headlights. However, it is far from a fool-proof system. Trapster displays all recorded speed traps and shows them up on a map, in relation to your position. As users discover new speed traps, they can add it to the app’s database in order to warn others. The app not only displays the speed traps on a map, but also lets a voice tell you about any known speed traps you may be approaching.

The iPhone is an incredible device that has made our lives so much easier. These top Car Apps for iPhone make sure that the iPhone will truly be a driver’s best friend.
