Did you know that we spent nearly 45 days every year on our mobile devices? Yes that’s right. And since we are at it, we might as well get the best of apps that can help us cruise through life in an easier fashion. Let’s start with owning a car and then move on to navigating, parking and so on. Take a look at these 5 cool apps that may not do the actual driving for you, but would certainly help you avoid the daily annoyances that you may encounter:

Carmudi
There is no point downloading a driving app without actually owning a car. So whether you’re looking to buy your first ride or update your old one, look no further than the Carmudi application. Carmudi app gives you a choice of 200,000 cars 30,000 of which are in Nigeria with detailed search filters and a ‘car park’ function that allows you to save your favourite machines. And the option of sharing your choice on social networks can help you get a second opinion from friends and family.

Google Maps
Once you are in your car getting to where you need to be can sometimes be problematic. With this in mind, Google Maps is the answer. If you are lost and need to find your way then Android’s (Google’s) very own maps system will help you get out of trouble. Operational across the globe, it is a cool navigation system one can have.

Trapster
Traffic jams are nothing but a nuisance and they can be the reason for missing important meetings and events. The Trapster app is a clever map-based alert system which informs drivers of what they fear most in advance before they encounter the annoyance of a road build-up. Entitled ‘Trapster’ because it allows users to add information to a desktop version warning other drivers of the ‘traps’ of particular roads.


GasBuddy
We all have a gas station that we visit on a regular basis, usually with agreeable prices. However, the situation where you need to fill up unexpectedly is always a risk. With this in mind it is essential that you download GasBuddy. This app allows you to locate the nearest gas stations to you with the most affordable prices. Don’t pay over the odds for something you can get cheaper.

Carmudi is an online online automobile market place.
