A smart vehicle is able to optimize its performance to reduce fuel consumption, show the best path to follow taking into account current traffic and weather conditions, detect errors in the engine and collect information data to negotiate lower insurance rates. Most cars and light trucks are equipped with on-board diagnostics, or an OBD II port that provides access to data from the engine control unit (ECU). To get the information you need to plug in an external device. The OBD-II specifications provide a standardized hardware interface - a female 16-pin (2x8) J1962 connector, so a single external device can be used for most car models. It also should have an Internet connection to transfer the collected data. To handle all information collected from OBD2 device you still need on-board diagnostics app for car. Here are 7 best OBD apps you can find that will help you to maintain the performance of your car. You can find some of the best obd2 app for different platforms: Android obd app and iphone obd app. Let’s review them, their advantages and disadvantages. Here are the most popular auto diagnostic OBD apps for Android: 1. Torque Pro (OBD 2 & Car) One of the most popular obd2 app for android reader application in the Play Store, Torque Pro showes a broad list of features and detectors supported, and the numerous widgets and plug-ins that use it as base, giving more of functionality.

Torque is a vehicle efficiency/diagnostics instrument that uses the OBD II Bluetooth adapter connected to OBD2 engine control/ECU. You can make customized dashboard with the widgets in application. The app uses the GPS to allow tracker log with OBD engine logging to see what your car was doing at any period of time. It also shows and resets a DTC/CEL/fault code like a scanner. Torque helps you to fix your car and reduce repair costs. Other Torque features: Dyno/Dynomometer and Horsepower/HP It reads the temperature of transmission speed timings - it became more accurate than via GPS CO2 emissions indicators Custom dashboard User profiles Automatically GPS tagged tweets Big fault code database and fault codes history Supports different color themes Available to send logging information directly to web or email for analysis HUD mode for night mode driving GPS Speedometer and compass in real time Turbo boost for vehicles that support MAP and MAF Voice alarms Car dock maintenance Allows to share application screenshots to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, e-mail, etc A simple interface for developers for AIDL API for third party apps Supports tablet devices Works on different vehicles that use OBDII bluetooth adapters (almost all vehicles produced after 2000). Common problems with Torque Pro: High battery consumption. Incompatible with some cars We think high battery consumption can be a great obstacle to use this software. Every software development team should pay attention to customer’s reviews. For example, here in Archer Software we either follow our client’s specification or we make sure that our software solutions are environmentally friendly. We advice to read our 5 things you need to know before developing the car app. 2.

A HobDrive version, in comparison with demo: Continuous errors tracking MPG tracking hour, day, week time periods Graphical measurers Diagnostic of KWP protocols. Fueling and service records. HobDrive include such features: Vehicle sensors indexes Engine diagnostics Trip recording computer Performance tools Route planning Calculating MPG Flexible visual layouts ​Many users complain about: Unstable work Poor clarity (blurring) on devices with higher resolution Problems with Bluetooth connection Archer Software monitors the appearance of new gadgets and their popular resolutions. Therefore we try to release new versions of our applications every 1-2 months, increasing stability with every new version of the software. 3. OBD Car Doctor Pro The primary and functional app, OBD Car Doctor reads the data sent from your OBD adapter, and reports all real-time engine and car parameters: speed, angle of rotation, temperature, pressure and some other sensors data supported by your vehicle.

  5. http://www.asiaone.com/singapore/after-spate-one-star-reviews-sgsecure-app-suddenly-getting-awesome-five-star-reviews?xtor=CS3-61 Counter productive or counter terrorism ? It seems like national servicemen are still being made to download the SGSecure mobile application. The app was first launched in 2016 by the Ministry of Home Affairs to teach users about counter-terrorism and send alerts of major emergencies and terror incidents. It made the news in July 2017, after suffering a spate of one-star reviews. It turned out the reviewers were national servicemen "forced" by their superiors to download the app, and allegedly faced punishment if they did not. We are reluctant to say "forced", since the Ministry of Defence's explanation that soldiers should have the app downloaded on their phones made sense to us. The app has since racked up more than 100,000 downloads, but more interestingly, the 1.5-star rating back then has improved to 2.6. The number of five-star reviews, at over 400, is slowly catching up to the 600-plus one-star reviews. In the last couple of days, wordy, 'heartfelt' reviews have appeared, indicating another round of backlash towards being ordered to download the app. The strategy seems to have changed, from angry reviews to sarcastic ones.
  6. is it secure? 1. assuming you lost your phone 2. although you have fingerprint sensor setup but your passcode is stupidly configure with 123123 123456 000123 3. if the perpetrator add in his fingerprint 4. he can activate the banking app and transfer money out i see many people use their phone while in mrt when standing near looking down ... can see everything a person doing with the phone no need a super duper tok kong hacker simply anyone grab/snatch the phone and can do nuts and crazy stuff in the first 15-30 mins even before the user can report to bank what do you think?

    Caller id (apps)

    previously I would answer an unknown number and then block it with the phone's in-built incoming number blocker. however, it will only still be recorded as a telephone with no details. until my colleague told me to d/l True Caller App .... I also downloaded the free version and now when unknown numbers come in, sometimes the name can be seen on the app. furthermore, some numbers which has been blocked by others and saved in the creator's database will be blocked automatically also. but with such convenience, the app will require some access rights which some might feel uncomfortable with again. anyone using other cold-call blockers that you feel can be recommended ?

  9. Hello, wanna share this interesting app that I saw in facebook. currently there's a challenge going on named Singapore's best driver. The top prizes are a year petrol and held by some insurer, felt its pretty fun and interesting. We always feel our driving skills matches those F1 drivers, hence this is the time to prove it. basically this app, drivewell is a complete telematics and behavioral analytics solution for the connected car world. It consists of three components to accurately measure driving performance and vehicle dynamics. I hope I'm not outdated yet plus I have search before posting a new thread. Neither am I related nor working for the apps or insurer. since there's a year free petrol and it promotes road safety, it's gonna be fun.
  10. This may well become an ultimate apps for the loanshark .. https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/app-app-lets-borrow-lend-063352031.html When it comes to borrowing or lending money to friends, a common and loudly resounding advice is this: “Don’t do it!” The fastest way to lose a friend is to lend him money. Asking your friend to pay you back too soon makes you a cheapskate (and loanshark) and asking too late risks your friend forgetting about the loan entirely. There is also the possibility that your so-called-friend never intended to pay you back. Either way, it won’t end well. There is even an idiom to summarize this occurrence, “Lend your money and lose your friend”. ulcan Post talked to David Sin, founder of DVG Web Sdn. Bhd. and the brains behind Frenloan, an app that will help you not lose your friend-in-need, even though the thing your friend needs is money. According to its FAQ section, Frenloan is a mobile app created to certify a loan to both lender and borrower. Lend Your Money, Lose Your Friend? “Growing up, I have asked and been asked to either lend or borrow small loans from buddies. Some helped, some didn’t. This social borrowing affects almost all of us,” David answered to the question of what prompted him to develop Frenloan. “When the sum gets bigger we stop lending for the fear we won’t get our money back. Even today I keep hearing of stories of friends ending relationships because one party didn’t want to lend money. This sort of spark off an idea. If we can remove this barrier, people will be more willing to help out. David continued, “Right now, a handshake is all that is given by the borrower. In the event, he decides not to return the money, there is very little recourse to get the money back. Usually it’s the relationship that is the only guarantor to friendly loans.” “So what if we could help generate a digital pdf that has all the details of the friendly loan for both parties to have? This would certainly help friends in real need of money get help from their friends. Friends would be less reluctant to lend since there will be some sort of written understanding between him and his friend.” “For now, I’m working with VLT labs to experiment on this idea. On development, I’m outsourcing the development work to a close associate. Hopefully with traction, I can bring in more talents,” he shared. So far it seems that the Frenloan app has gotten a good start, being awarded a grant by MaGIC and built by the ALPS programme which is run by VLT labs. There are only three people directly involved in Frenloan as of the time of this article. David has high expectations about the app, though he admitted that they are still trying to sort out any teething problems with it. “Right now, we’re starting with basic features like tracking, reminding and generating a digital PDF on the loan. Down the road, we’re hoping to have printable PDF copies.” He hopes that the app can enable people with financial problems to get help from their close friends and family without getting themselves with serious debt issues and losing the loved ones in the process. How You Get Your Money Back The process of getting a loan is simple with the app. All you need to do is enter your phone number, your friend’s email and the amount you’d like to borrow. The pay-back-by date is also a must-enter in order to ensure that you don’t go back on your word and pay your friend the money (or vice versa). The request comes with a Loan Certification, using Frenloan to certify the loan so both parties will have a digital version with the borrower and lender, total amount due and date to be paid in full by. When the date arrives, the tracking feature will alert the borrower so that they honor their word and cough up the cash. Frenloan is currently a free app. We would like to remind our readers that there is no way for Frenloan to help with disputes between parties since it’s a computer generated service. As is with everything that has to do with money, thread carefully. Personally, I think this is a great idea for small cash amounts. In Malaysia it is a common scene for large groups to split the bill while dining together. This app could play a large role in keeping track of who owes who how much. However, when it comes to numbers with a few more zeroes at the back, it’s best to not go down that route.

  19. Ok...few days back bought a new iPad2. Set up with my existing iTunes account. I have another Ipad1, which I have organized the folders very nicely. As there are over 100s of apps, a organized iPad is essential. If not organized, the apps would overflow outside the 11pages, and will not be easily accessible. I am having a headache. Trying to tick And untick the apps and rearrange it manually on my new ipad2. I can't seems to get my new iPad2 to sync to be a exact copy of my old iPad. I want to have two identical iPads with same identical apps, exactly same arrangement and position of the icons! Anyone knows how to sync and make both iPad totally identical? I read few apple help site......no one seem to ask to Have identicL iPhone or iPads. Most only talk about multiple accounts sharing apps, or wife hubby manually tick/untick the apps they need from iTunes, etc. I just want to sync both iPads to be identical..so I can interchange between two iPads without searching high and low for apps that are not at the usual pages. Thanks.
  20. Pocket Frogs - jus pass level six. nice and easy. but it getting harder. spending more time to clear each level.
  21. First, Rolls Royce says you can customise your Rolls on your Iphone. Then comes Toyo tires with an Iphone app about tires. And not to mention the various Ihpone/Ipod touch apps with car adverts as games such as Volkswagen and Audi. Even Red Bull racing has come up with a free app for you to 'race' their F1 car. Apple is totally taking over the motoring world with their apps and the concept of it all. And I love it! Now Volkswagen have become the first to publish a magazine specifically for Apple's new Ipad. Newly named, 'DAS', it stands for Digital Automotive Space and its a new addition to Volkswagen's revamped marketing strategy. No doubt will that help advertise more for Apple, (not like they need any more advertising) but it opens up new avenues for car manufacturers to reach out to consumers. Moreover, I believe Apple and the Volkswagen group have similar branding strategies; simplistic, stylish and sleek. And that blends in perfectly when it comes to apps for the Ipad. You can view the new Volkswagen Touraeg in a full 360 degrees view and go through all the specifications, its only a matter of time before car brochures enter the Apps store.. I've personally gone through stuff on the Ipad and everything looks amazing, so why not add in magazines like these as Apps? With all the games and other mish mash in Apple's App store, car manufacturers like VW have created one that shouts 'Info-tainment' and I think that will do nothing but boost their sales even more. Brilliant move by VW..
  22. The options list for cars may be facing a revolution in the way they are presented to customers, so Audi says. What used to be ticks in boxes may now be downloaded from your dashboard. Audi's marketing boss, Peter Schwarzenbauer has suggested that their future cars will have Iphone-style 'Apps' that can be downloaded from computer styled dashboards. For instance, if you wanted heated seats for some reason, you can download that option from your car. Of course that means pre-installing the option into the car before it leaves the factory, just that it won't be activated till you actually buy the 'App' to activate it. Wireless in-car Internet is also making its way into future Audi's, albiet selected models only, and the more expensive range topping ones I suppose. This new age level of connectivity is influencing not just the entire population in the world with 3G access from our mobile phones whenever we're on the move in public, but now in our personal vehicles as well. This is both a worrying and exciting prospect as we're now able to connect through the Internet from places we never imagined possible before, yet it shows the dependency that we have on the Internet and 'instant information'. The speed at which we obtain knowledge in our current lives is ever increasing and with the implementation of Internet connectivity in cars, it is a significant sign that shows the want and the need to stay connected wherever we go. All this inspiration from Apple, I won't be surprised if kids in the future had Lan gaming from their cars on Ipads...
  23. Do you agree with him? "those who buy 'useless applications' for Apple's products as 'gullible customers'." http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_525994.html Does he mean we should just "ahem" them?
  24. Basically what the app does is using GRP, it will pre-empt you of approaching fixed redlight cameras or speed cameras....and when you are very near (you can set the distance), you can set an alarm to sound off. I just got the app...2.99 USD...and tried it...well not too bad....managed to sound off before I hit the redlight cameras and also tells me how far am i from the cameras. Anyone using this or other aps?
  25. hey guys! I just got me an Iphone... but super noob here... Any suggestion what apps to download? =)
