10th place "Tow truck"

for mobile devices on the platforms "Apple" and "Android"

ten

The design resembles, sorry, a public toilet - the walls are tiled with nondescript tiles, and the necessary set of plumbing fixtures. That is, everything is purely functional, useful, but absolutely unattractive. However, the necessary information is at hand: a list of the nearest private tow trucks, the distance to each and a phone number. Although “closest” is a vague concept. The search radius diverges to 3500 (!) Km. Will they respond to the Moscow call in Yekaterinburg? Still, it would not hurt the developers to set filters to filter out unnecessary information.

9th place AUTOCALS

for mobile devices on the Apple platform

Under the abbreviated name is not a calculator, but a car racing calendar. And let the F1 shortcut to run the program do not bother you. This application will inform you when the stages of not only the Queen of Motorsport, but also the DTM, NASCAR, WRC and other ring and rally championships start. True, nothing but the dates and names of the racetracks is not here. And it could be supplemented with at least links to the sites of tracks or lay out minimal information about them. Yes, and the Russian version does not hurt.

8th place “Transport of Moscow”

for mobile devices on the platforms "Apple" and "Android"

eight

One of the official applications distributed by the Moscow government. The idea is not bad, but the implementation, as usual, let us down. The program has many inaccuracies. For example, it suddenly became clear that our Largus in July last year was evacuated from the 56th km of the Moscow Ring Road to a parking lot. There are errors in words and numbers (for example, in the cost of tickets), news does not load at all … But there is a lot of useful: the database of fines is functioning properly, a list of emergency phone numbers and parking lots (including intercepts) is given.

7th place "Rooms"

for mobile devices on the Apple platform

Attention! Any motorist can get into the network. Social. To do this, you just need to register in this application. And you will see your neighbors on the road and on the interactive map. You can even write a message to them by looking for the addressee by car number - the main thing is that the driver be registered in this program. And this is perhaps the most useful and interesting in this application. Chat is boring, absolutely not systematized, there is no breakdown by topic. Would make, for example, a rating - numbers of cars that most often break the rules. I saw a violation - I added a villain a penalty point in the rating. You look, such machines and DPS will be interested.

6th place CarCamCorder

for mobile devices on the Apple platform

Perhaps one of the best programs that mimic a DVR. The interface is clear, the picture quality is acceptable, it works clearly. But with this, and with all other applications, the smartphone will not compete with a specialized device. For example, this pseudo-DVR has a small viewing angle, it quickly eats up the battery due to the fact that the screen does not turn off, recording is interrupted during a call, and it does not work with the navigator. In addition, on many brackets, even expensive ones, the camera is shaking, the picture is corresponding. Conclusion: only suitable as a temporary replacement for the DVR.

5th place KeepEye. AUTO

for mobile devices on the Apple platform

A useful application for fans to save on the purchase and subsequent maintenance of the car. Here are all the promotions that hold car dealerships throughout Russia. There are many models, attractive proposals even more, and it’s easy to filter the necessary information - just fill in the necessary parameters in the search. I found something interesting - immediately clicked on the phone number and asked the dealer for details. Conveniently! And profitable. For example, my relative saved 50, 000 rubles when buying a car. Thanks, developers!

4th place “Urban transport of the USSR”

for mobile devices on the Apple platform

four

The application directly returns to childhood. Remember how I climbed onto the tall steps of the LiAZ-677 bus. Or as a finger melted frost on the window of a frozen Tatra-T3 tram. All Soviet transport is assembled here - buses, trolleybuses, trams, metro. Most models have several photos: rear and front view, driver's or driver's seat, interior arrangement. In addition, interesting information and brief technical specifications. But I didn’t have enough life around these cars. For example, there would be stops of ground transport in different years. Or how the "logos" of the metro changed.

3rd place "Auto Quiz"

Do you want to check, and at the same time to replenish your automotive knowledge? Play the auto quiz. Useful and interesting. Moreover, it captures even if you play alone. But you can cut with the enemy and the Web. The questions relate to models and emblems, both modern and already history. There is a minute - play a blitz of ten questions. And do not rush anywhere - choose an endless game. Many hang for several days until they collect all the awards and titles. For example, I was stopped only by the urgent delivery of material to the room.

2nd place Beepster

Nice logbook, which records spending on gasoline, maintenance, spare parts. The application sums up and presents expenses in the form of numbers and graphs. Very handy here is a list of the nearest gas stations (you can filter by name), for many, the price of fuel is indicated. I did not find any serious flaws in the program, but there were several advantages: simple, clear, debugged, with a nice interface. If you need something more sophisticated - the choice of electronic logbooks is rich. For example, “Auto-light” or “Car expenses”. Here, useful information along the way is laid out, and there is a built-in voice recorder.
