Default Smart Phone Apps

These days many many people have smart phones, and these things can be extremely useful. I'm wondering does anyone have any car apps for their phones? I'm thinking about getting a dash cam app and i was wondering if anyone has had experience with one.

Another app i'm looking at esentially turns your phone into an OBDII reader for less than half the cost of a real one, just a $5 app and a bluetooth OBDII plug for the port and you've got yourself a scanner. Looks extremely good imo, might be worth a try one day.

the Torque app sounds pretty cool. There has been talk about it before. Try it out and give us the rundown Keane.
