Mobile phones are used so often and more often than not while driving as they offer useful features such as navigation, giving you traffic info, reading incoming messages and much more. As you can imagine, thousands of these apps offer a range of features that can provide quite a lot of info about your driving style or even additional info that many of us don’t consider on a daily basis.
Speedo Apps
Many apps provide info about your driving speed, the amount of G-force and much more. Some apps can be paired with an OBD2 dongle that gets plugged into your car and provides info from the management system. This allows users to see detailed reports about their driving style and where they could save on fuel by following certain steps. The apps that don’t use the dongle will still provide a range of features, but no detailed reports about your car or how it performs. These apps can be set to offer a lot more info that your standard management system.
Some of these apps offer additional features such as GPS and tracking. This allows the user to access the features from the app while navigating, which can later be used to assess data about how the drive went and where things could have been better.
Gas Apps
People around the world are feeling the effects of the oil crisis as fuel prices rise. Users will find there is a range of apps that offer massive benefits when it comes to filling up or working out how long your tank will last with certain routes.
Some of the most impressive features include showing you where the closest filling station is along with their prices. This means users can shop around and find the best deal, which could be at the station closest to your house, which you never knew existed. The app can also be used to calculate your current fuel usage to improve savings and fuel economy.
Parking Apps
This is the most impressive on our list of apps. All of us have found looking for a spot frustrating, especially over weekends. However, now some apps have the ability to give you live updates on where spots are available. Simply open the app and it will provide the nearest accessible location, which wouldn’t only save you time, but gas as well.
