This week in iPhone apps has something for everyone; a location based to-do list for the forgetful among us, a mobile driving coach for the bad driver in the next lane (because it definitely isn’t us), and a logbook app to help sea travelers keep track of their journeys.
To-Do List.Propelled by Transistor Studios is another example of interesting apps that have been branded by recognizable companies to serve as both a useful application and a marketing vehicle. This app stands out because it takes your regular “to do” list to a whole new level. Input something you need to get done and To-Do List.Propelled will churn out what places you should visit and in what order you should visit them, based on your location, with the goal of having you spend the least amount of time possible on your errands.
Bliss Trek by MaxQData is a quirky app that both records your driving statistics (ie distance traveled, average speed, etc) and coaches you, while you’re driving, on how to adjust your driving habits to save gas and reduce pollution. Its unique visual style, combined with its intriguing function, is sure to make this app catch a few eyes.
JourSail by Medienkonzepte GbR is an attractive logbook app designed to catalogue every step of your maritime journey. This is the app to get for the summer sailor looking towards open waters for a new adventure. You can define exactly how often you’d like to enter a new log. Each log contains important information about our trip like nautical miles traveled, compass bearing, and current location of log entry. Keep an entry of every major part of your trip and walk your friends through your time at sea afterwards.
