Really cool apps, although I have not heard of RepairPal before. Gotta try that one. At least you won’t have to call toll free numbers for road side assistance. Thanks to iPhone for coming up with such amazing and helpful apps for all users. And thank you Olawale, for sharing this.
iPhone apps are very useful for drivers. Everything seems to be within reach with one, even though you’re in your car driving. It makes surfing the net in your car much easier. Now that’s convenient.
I’m not using all of this apps but then thanks a lot for this. It really helps me.
You are welcome.
