iPhone Automotive App is Awesome…and FREE!


We all take precautions while we drive.  Only answering the phone with a Bluetooth headset, keeping both hands on the wheel, and looking in our rear view mirrors when changing lanes to name a few.  Smartphones have decided to add to that safety regiment by improving voice recognition technology daily, creating apps that both help and ease the hectic lifestyles we live.  One app in particular, Dragon Go!, allows the user to ask for what they want…yes, literally.  The app notes your location via GPS, with that confirmed, you can say “sushi restaurants” or “movie theaters” and listings with reviews will populate on screen for your viewing pleasure.  A red bar bordering the top of the listings has three tabs that allow you to tailor your search by best match (the default setting), distance or rating.

You can command it to call a store, ask about events in your area, directions to a certain location, weather, and even where to rent a tux!  There’s a tutorial available in the app, so any and all of your questions can be answered.  Enjoy your FREE app!! (
