Default What are the best iPhone apps for our cars

I have the obvious navigation, Harry's lap timer, Pandora, weather bug, NPR feed, urban spoon, etc. What am I missing? No games--just driving stuff. What's the name of the app and what does it do?

I can't seem to find Torque Pro for the iPhone, does it exist? Or only on Android?

Gonna complain for a second......I had installed a Pioneer AVH-P8400 BH with my iPone 4 in my cab which integrates the iPhone with numerous apps (all the ones above plus a browser). Unfortunately our friends at Apple changed the video output technology with the iPhone 5 and now you need a conversion box, firmware download and a different cable from Apple to go to the iPhone 5 - net cost installed is ~$250. Really annoying because without the upgrade all you can really do is audio (Pandora etc). Just a heads up.

hmm...I have the Pioneer AVIC-X930BT and was originally setup for video playback using my iPhone 4. For my iPhone 5, all I needed to buy was the Apple iphone 4 to iphone 5 adapter and it works exactly the same. (btw it didn't work with an aftermarket adapter - after buying an original Apple adapter it works beautifully)

Angry IMS. Its kinda like Angry Birds except the birds are ball bearings trying to destroy your engine. It is addictive.
