We
all love apps on our phones. Whether it’s just to play a mindless game or keep
track of appointments, apps have transformed the way in which we organise, play
and create. Check out our favourites for your vehicle here:
Fuel Buddy
Free
Track fuel, mileage, services and expenses for multiple vehicles
and drivers on this one app. Perfect for the sales team on the road this app
captures lots of information for you to monitor. We hear that an automatic
driving detection component will soon be implemented by the developers which
will be great. No more logging trips each time you get in the car! Available on
Android and iPhone.
AAMI Safe Driver and ING
Direct Safe Driving Apps
Both Free
These apps were developed to give
drivers key metric information on their driving. A risk score is calculated
depending on harsh acceleration, deceleration or exceeded speed limits.
AAMI Safe Driver App is available
free to everyone, regardless of whether you are a customer or not. Their point
system rewards safer drivers with bonuses on insurance once certain points are
reached.
ING Direct requires the ING
On-board diagnostic (OBD) device to be installed in order to use the app. Both
apps available on Android and iPhone.
XLR8
Free/In

Ok, this one is fun! This will make your old Toyota sound
like a Chevy, playing the sounds of prestige cars like Chevrolet Camaro, Ford
GT40 or Ferrari 458 Italia through your car’s speakers. Fantasise that you’re
driving the car of your dreams as it plays engine sounds of acceleration,
braking and revving in accordance with your driving. Kinda daggy, but kinda
cool too ;) Can be used via Bluetooth or
plugged in via an aux plug. Android, iPhone and iPad.
