Useful Apps for Motorists

App for managing personal and
fleet vehicles

If you're a car owner you naturally want to make the most of your investment, we've sourced an app that makes looking after your car that much easier: VEHIC
Vehic. is a handy iPhone app for tracking a car's maintenance. Whether you own one vehicle or a fleet of cars and trucks Vehic can make your motoring life that much easier
With this App you can: 
.- Control the oil changes: you can see the record of all oil changes you have made, indicating the date of the oil change and the miles/kilometers that you had done. 
.- Control the tyre changes: recording the date, the mileage and the number of tyres changed. 
.- Repairs and revisions: it lets you keep track of repairs and revisions, indicating the price, the repair shop, the date and the tasks performed. 
.- Fuel consumption and other relevant information: you will be able to monitor your fuel consumption and price trends of this, both annually and historically. 
.- Also, when you park your vehicle, you can situate it on a map. It is great for when you are in a town you do not know or if you are absent-minded. If you park in a parking station, you can enter the parking space number in wich you left it. No more getting lost in the parking station trying to find your vehicle. 
.- One of the more innovative features of the car app is that you can add a picture of your vehicle to the file, adding a more personalised touch 
.- Translated into english, spanish, french, italian and chinese


Vehic is a very easy to use motorists app, menus are very intuitive and most features are just a button press away. The car finding feature is also very handy. It's clearly better to use a driving app like Vehic to keep track of your car rather than archaic logbooks and repair cards. The design is quite basic , but bells and whistles aren't necessary on this type of app , as its goal of keeping a check on your vehicle is more than adequately achieved. Hopefully later versions will also include pop up reminders for when a vehicle is fue oil changes and such like. As an inexpensive fleet management app I could imagine Vehic being popular with owners and maintainers of medium sized vehicle fleets.

Get in your car with Happy Wheels and mow down some Zombies!

Happy Wheels from Jerkface is the new internet sensation online game that you really need to play. Whether you're a Ford or Ferrari driver this is one of the best car games out there and will  get your need for speed revving to the max.
But heres the catch: The Happy Wheels game is quite limited in vehicles and you'd actually be very lucky to find even a Ford in it as the premier means of transportation is a wheelchair! So Jerkface what are you up to and is your car game (Umm sorry I mean crazy wheel chair based game!) worth playing?

Like many crazy concept games Happy Wheels started life as a flash game on that source of all that is crazy the internet. Play Happy Wheels Jerkface . There have been a long line of illustrious games that have been ported to the Iphone and Android, some of the best that I'm playing at the moment are the legendary car games: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit and any other version of Need For Speed that I can get hold of because they are that good ( covered in my previous article Best Games list for Xperia Play)

I'm sad to say that for all my searching( 3 hours plus at the moment) I still haven't been able to locate any Happy Wheels App for Iphone, come on Jerkface what are you waiting for you could make a fortune!

So what is it that makes this game so popular firstly it's got to be said that it is not your ordinary driving game, no it certainly doens't star any Fords, but has got a variety of whacky and some not so savoury characters including the wheelchaired main star ( does he have leprosy because he is certainly a mess!) , the heroic Indiana Jones type in a mine cart and even a suit on a sedgeway. The levels are just as varied as the characters though with Zombies , apes and more running amuck to slow down your time and mincemeat your character in this gory physics heavy alternate racer.

Gameplay is thick and fast with some great physics and gory endings for your character and Zombies and any other things that they come up against (there's a huge variety of levels) . I'm just going to end off this posting and speak to Jerkface Directly " Happy Wheels needs to come to Iphone Now!"

On a positive note the game is available on Kongregate so theoretically it should be possible, using the Android App, to play the Happy Wheels game on Android. I haven't tried it yet so if you find out please let us know via this posts comments.

And if you're an Iphone owner join the rest of the world in appealing to Jerkface to bring Happy Wheels to your Iphone now!

Iphone 4s accessories for your Car

The Iphone 4s has only just recently been released but is already proving immensely popular, flying off shelves and some plaudits say already making the Iphone 3G even more redundant. Hopefully you use the Iphone 4s safely in your car as I'm sure it's always with you, this article is going to explore some of the attachments and accessories you can get for the Iphone 4s that make it easier to use in your car.

I've aimed the budget for these smartphone accessories strictly at the middle of the range so you won't be needing to use a car loan calculator to balance the books and decide how you'rfe going to pay for your fancy car and your Iphone accessories at the same time!

As I've said the new Iphone 4s is a phenomenon already so between your house and the car you want to first and foremost make sure that the 4s iphone cases that you choose to use for it are of good build and quality. Here are some of the best 4s iphone cases : Griffin Survivor Iphone 4s case if you want rugged; Case mate Creatures (if you want cute!); Case Mate Tank if you want rock 'ard and Case Mate Barely There if you want an Iphone 4s case that just does the job.

So armed with the latest greatest,toughest and cutest 4s iPhone cases you make it safely to your car. Look again at your spanking new iPhone 4s and once again think of using that car loan calculator this time to buy a new car as you really think that your Iphone 4s deserves to travel in style and not in a '60s Chevy. However assuming prudence and perhaps nostalgia for your car gets the better of you you'll still be left with your old car and hopefully some spare cash for those Iphone Accessories-here's some of the best Iphone 4 s accessories that Amazon has to offer at at the moment:

Magellan iPhone 2011 Tough Case: Adds a tough shell with integrated battery to your iPhone 4 s and improves the GPS by up 3-5 metres. Perhaps for the racing/rally drivers amongst you?

Jabra Freeway HD Ready Bluetooth Visor Speakerphone with Copilot

Now this one is something special for the 4s-completely hands free and with unique speaker type system it allows you to make calls completely hands free and uses a built in motion sensor to turn on and off automatically.

Spreading the love a bit here it not all about cars so I've featured the Iphone 4s Bike Mount Holder for those of you who couldn't get to grips with that car loan calculator!

Of course this is still early days for the Iphone 4s as it has been so recently released, to be honest though dimensionally it's pretty much the same as the Iphone 4 so I don't see any reason that any of these 4s cases and accessories mentioned here won't be able to do exactly the same for the Iphone 4 and of course it goes without saying that most Iphone 4 products will probably be compatible with the Iphone 4s. So don't be cheated on price when someone tries to sell you an old product with a new shiny 4s label on it. Hopefully in the near future we'll see some innovative products out there that can take advantage of Siri and other functions.

How to love using Ebay Motors on your Smartphone

Broken Honda? Time to go to Autozone? Use Ebay Motors very carefully!

Hopefully in this post I will be able to explain how to use and get the Ebay motors app for your Smartphone. So whether you want to buy yourself a Honda or a Ford or any other type of vehicle it shouldn't be a problem.

Hopefully soon you'll be whizzing about in your new wheels thanks to Ebay cars. Of course cars won't be the only thing that you're limited too as you will be able to use all of the Ebay services including the Ebay classifieds.  Watch out though as I don't want you left asking how to love an old banger that you have to go to Autozone to get parts for before you've even left your feedback!

Actually getting the whole Ebay App including Ebay Motors on your phone is amazingly simple. Go to any version of the Google market or just download it from Itunes! Of course using it is a different matter, but surprisingly enough even if I don't tell you how to it will be easy enough to pick up. One of the frustrations that I've found with the App is it is sometimes hard to find the full description and my wife has even had to cancel a last minute birthday order once as I'm sure my daughter didn't want to get a new IsPhone (sic) from China for her birthday!

Read Ebay Classifieds carefully!

The Ebay app will quickly and easily link to your current account, including Ebay Classifieds though and you can soon start buying. Of course selling, whether it be an Ebay car or otherwise is a doddle too, and a feature that I actually preferred using on my Android Phone as opposed to the computer was the ability to take a photo on the phone and simply upload it straight away- no cable connections to computer needed.

So final advice: It's great  to use Ebay cars and all the other Ebay Services on your Smartphone, it's also very easy to download, "is a Honda or a Ferrari going to be your next car ?"is the only question you need to hassle yourself with.

Oh and another use for the Ebay App : It's easy to learn to love technology when it keeps your tantrum toddler occupied... my 3 year old has been known to spend hours on the Ebay app scrolling through pictures looking for a birthday present! " Daddy, want Thomas Tank Engine!" On goes the phone and Ebay app and off he goes spending hours looking at pictures of his present of choice ( now I've just got to fathom out what 'Horse Trousers' are and why he wants them!)
UPDATE: Ebay Motors App now on Itunes
