9 Best Driving and Traveling Smartphone Apps

Automatic

Automatic is an app that is paired with a car adapter that provides helpful driving and vehicle performance information about your car to your smartphone. The adapter plugs into your vehicle’s diagnostic port (which is underneath your dash in most vehicles since 1996). This app utilizes both bluetooth and GPS.

Product Features by Automatic:

Help Diagnose Engine Problems: Automatic diagnoses your check engine light with easy-to-understand descriptions of what’s wrong. 

Improve Fuel Efficiency: …the adapter’s built-in speaker can remind you to drive more smoothly and efficiently. Audio alerts signal when to ease off the gas and brake pedals and help you avoid high speeds. The app shows your progress and scores your driving each week.

Locate Your Parked Car: Automatic always remembers where you parked so you don’t have to. There’s even walking directions to help you find your way.

24/7 Crash Response:  If Automatic detects a severe collision, a professional agent will call to assist you, alert local emergency services, and inform your loved ones—all while staying on the line until help arrives.

Set Custom Low Fuel Warning

Works with two popular wearable devices, the Apple Watch and Pebble Classic.

Web Dashboard: Spot trends, sort trips, and export your data as a CSV to make tax reporting and mileage expensing easy as pie

Kinda cool, maybe one of those things that you never thought you needed but could make your day to day driving experiences easier. Although the app is free, you do have to purchase the adapter, however, which is $99.95. When visiting their website today, we did notice a holiday sale price for $79.99 with free shipping.
