Waze Review - Download this Free GPS Navigation App with Real-Time Traffic and Turn by Turn Directions

By @EverNoticeThat

Find the cheapest gas in your area, and route around traffic with Waze

Waze is a handy free app with real-time traffic info provided by an incredible community of over 30 million drivers called "Wazers" a social media minded bunch who contribute live traffic updates to warn other Waze users about traffic jams, road accidents, speed traps and more.

The inclusion of a live traffic map makes Waze a must-have app for your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.  This latest version 3.5.1 offers:

• Live routing and real-time traffic conditions updated from the Waze community
• Voice-guided navigation - the app also remembers your routes and destinations
• Automatically finds the best route depending on road conditions
• Pick up your friends and share your trip (great for keeping an eye on the kids)

I don't know about you, but any app that helps me find cheap gas, and saves time, has earned a spot on my iPhone.  Waze combines the fun of social media, and the utility of a very useful traffic app. I only have one question: are we there yet?

Download Waze today.

Apple iPhone Tracking - Anything to Worry About?

from hbakkh

Everyone's heard about the recent Apple iPhone Tracking story by now, but is there anything to worry about? Or is it all much ado about nothing? I'll vote for the latter. Every major Smartphone maker needs to know your general area in order to offer location-based services. Ever use Google Maps? They need data on where you are in order for you to get your bearings, and GPS devices need that information as well.

Many other services (im looking at you Foursquare) also use your location for their services, so this is really no different than what every other Smartphone (Android included) does. If you want location-based services; they require your  location.

If im going to trust any company with my data; i'll trust Apple. If there's any issue, it will be sorted out. However I know there are too many awesome Smartphone Apps in the App Store that I plan on downloading to add even more functionality to my iPhone to be concerned about this; There is nothing to see here folks, moving right along... Now where is my white iPhone?
