Anyone got any useful or interesting car-related apps they use on their smartphone or tablet?

One to start off (for Android):

As a GPS app I use Waze most of the time, community based and anyone allowed to fix map issues on their website. Their system tracking the users (when they drive) and if anyone is in traffic it`s recognizing it and displays it onto the GPS map (I`d say it is very accurate about displaying traffic info). There is still room to improve the map accuracy but it`s just gets better day after day.

Car minder for iPad is not bad, for $2.99 https://itunes.apple.com/app/car-minder-plus-car-maintenance/id310809791?mt=8

A similar one, also $2,99 is a Fuel minder https://itunes.apple.com/app/car-care-fuel-economy-mpg/id284946069?mt=8

My daughter likes this car locator for her iPhone https://itunes.apple.com/app/find-my-car-smarter-pro/id480619632?mt=8. She has a bright green Jazz Hybrid, but also likes gadgets

Iphone stuff:

Road trip to record mileage (can't remember price but it was about £2 when I bought it) - can backup to Dropbox and can record more than one car on it.
I use mine at every fill up.

M8 - free satnav that works quite well

My Gas - free price checker on petrol stations near you

I find most of the traffic apps quite poor so won't mention those
