    I had to get the pay version to reliably follow me, it was well worth a couple bucks.

    Fuelbook is good for finding fuel prices and truckstops, it's GPS enabled too.

    I just saw a promo on youtube for The Road Wizard. Looks good so far. I don't have an I-Phone but I'm getting ready to upgrade soon. Look under Trucker Trip Planner.

    I think I'll be staying away from that app.

    No details, no pricing, not in the app store (so it hasn't met Apple guidelines) and no web site that I could find.

    That app is going to be huge too. And a bandwidth hog.

    I currently use Loves, Pilot, RoadNinja, and Fuelbook. They work pretty good IMO. I'm in the process of checking a couple of others out. But not too sure of those yet.

    Just an FYI....

    IHeart radio app....sux.

    I switched to TuneIn.

    TuneIn has a much easier "save" function.

    IHeart forces you into a Facebook account to save your favorites.

    HI Big Buddy - The driver is not charged , it is charged back to the carrier you work for.

    Perfect OCR for document scanning
    Transflo Now in case I'm not near a pilot/loves
    Fuelbook for diesel prices
    official Love's/Pilot/TA apps for points balance
    Calcbot because it keeps memory of previous equations
    Flashlight by Rik - seriously underrated flashlight app if you have an iphone 4/4S

    I usually scan any document with Perfect OCR before running it to the Transflo app.

    Eureka !!! An app NOT designed to find truck stops, that actually finds small out of the way truck stops LOL.

    The CatScale app.
