Not that they are by any means revolutionary, but I use my flashlight app (by Surpax) and Alarm.com app almost every day.
What is surprising is that a phone that is "amazing" now can be a "POS" in 2-3 years.....lol

Track Attack and/or Harry's Lap Timer if you go to the track. I have Windows Phone so I use Track Attack. It is a good way to get video/basic data acquisition when driving on the track.

Unfortunately the Torque OBD app is only available for Android, not Iphones.

Question.....with either the Track Attack and/or Harry's Lap Timer app how does the info get from the car / ecu to the phone? Like I said, I'm still pretty much an idiot when it comes to the Iphone and Apps.

What does the flashlight app do that the built in flashlight doesn't?
