The Best Smartphone Apps for Drivers

When it comes to buying a new vehicle, most shoppers look for safety features and style. Of course, once you bring that new car home from Melloy Dodge, why not upgrade your experience with one of these apps?

Waze

Waze is a popular navigation app for a reason. Thanks to real-time input from other drivers, drivers have access to up-to-the-minute driving data. This helps drivers make the best choice when it comes to what route to take, whether they're on their daily commute or taking a road trip.

Roadtrippers

This app is great for the long haul. When planning a road trip, drivers have the option to look up accommodations along the way. Roadtrippers also provides information about points of interest and restaurants, which makes it easy for drivers to make all those stops by stringing the routes together.

GasBuddy

Drivers can always ensure they're getting the best bang for their buck when refueling thanks to GasBuddy. This app shows gas prices at nearby stations, so drivers can choose to go a bit further if it saves them money or refuel sooner if no better price is available. Like Waze, Gasbuddy relies on users to populate data.

Audible

While not technically a driving app, plenty of drivers (and their passengers) have enjoyed audiobooks through Audible. Not only does the service have a huge library, which includes some favorite books, but it includes original stories and books for subscribers of the series. Whether it's the latest news, true crime, or fiction, Audible books can make the trip go that much faster.

PlugShare

While not everyone has an electric car, these vehicles are becoming increasingly popular. PlugShare is the app that lists 40,000 charging stations across the US along with whether there is an option spot, always ensuring a fully charged battery.

These are only a few apps that are great to take advantage of while on the road. Although these apps are great to use, we do not suggest or promote the use of a cell phone while driving. For more questions, or to get set up in an impressive new or used Dodge vehicle, visit Melloy Dodge!
