Cool Apps for Modern Drivers That Solve Their Problems

Ok, we all go around with this digital Swiss army knife in our pocket that we call a smartphone. While a lot of people use theirs to surf the web, get cheaper calls and play games, the potential of a smartphone doesn’t end there. Each and every phone can have a different set of capabilities and functionalities depending on which apps the users chooses to install. This is why the usefulness of a smart phone is unsurpassed by any other digital device.

People who spend a lot of time behind the wheel of a car are very much aware of all the problematic situations that can happen on the road. No matter how well you know your vehicle and how new it is, you can still end up in a difficult and unforeseen situation. Here is a list of a few very handy apps to have in your phone if you are an active driver or even a professional driver. Let’s dive into it then!

Car Finder AR – Oh my god, I can’t remember where I parked!
These things happen. I mean who hasn’t parked in a hurry and then, after a couple of hours of errand running or a full work day, ran a complete blank about which parking spot they chose and where their car is. This, naturally, causes you to panic and start wondering if really you forgot where you parked or your car got stolen. Well, Car Finder is here to resolve this issue for you. Through your phone’s compass and the GPS system, you are going to have an easy time finding your car (unless someone really stole it).

iGasUp – Oh, this gas station is cheaper, but I refilled a couple of miles back!
This is one of the most annoying things when it comes to gas. I’m a practical person and I like to spend my money smartly. If you can relate, then I have an app for you. iGasUp is an app for iphone which gives you a list of gas stations in your area and sorts them out according to their gas prices. Handy, isn’t it?

DriveSafe.ly – Why do they keep texting me while I’m driving?
Safety first, I always say, and with a good reason, too. A lot of people get hurt in car accidents around the world, and I admit, driving and tinkering with your phone is not the smartest thing to do. This app reads you your text messages, and you can use your voice to send pre written responses. This is an app targeted at busy people who just can’t afford to dodge text messages without sending any kind of response.

Trip Log – I can’t believe we’ve spent so much on gas last month!
This is usually a desperate cry from a boss that owns a company with its own car fleet. A lot of times, employees tend to consider company vehicles as an offer for a free joy ride. This is why trip log comes in handy for businesses that want to make sure they are not spending more than necessary on gas and car repairs. An automatic GPS mileage tracking app really makes a difference and it is easy to use.

iWrecked - Oh, my god I bumped another car, what do I do?
No matter how much attention you pay and how experience of a driver you are, there is still a chance that you end up being in a car accident. Small car bumps happen on a daily basis and people start panicking and don’t know what to do. iWrecked solves this problem for you. It helps you identify the steps you need to take in order to get yourself to safety and get your insurance to cover the costs. It will also find the nearest police station, tow-truck service and dial 911 for you.

I hope you find these apps useful and insightful. There are plenty more out there but I want to give you a heads up before I wrap things up. The fact that these apps are oriented around cars doesn’t mean it is ok to use them while driving. Just be careful, and I wish you safe driving.
