[Numbers – Download from App Store]

The 'native' application from Apple to iPhone called Pages is an independent part of the iWork project, which serves as an excellent alternative to such a giant as a software package for working with files on a PC from Microsoft – Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Since the Pages application, as an analogue of MS Word, works as a text editor, users iPhone can edit text files using the huge functionality of the application, which requires little memory and space on iPhone.

Browse Pages.

If there is a successful analogue of the famous software from Microsoft for working with Excel spreadsheets for smartphones Apple, it is the Numbers application, which, along with Pages and Keynote, is included in the package a mobile program based on iOS – iWork. This program appeared in the iWork package only due to the persistent requests of users iPhone and iPad, who badly needed a mobile lite version of MS Excel.

Application for car enthusiasts. Allows you to connect iPhone to the OBD service connector and read all information about the engine and gearbox. And also reset errors.

DashCommand OBD-2 review.

Navigation

First place was taken by 'Yandex.Maps'. The second place went to 'Metropolitan' from Aleksey Dodonov and 'QR Reader for iPhone' from TapMedia Ltd. And again the applications complement each other to some extent. The first will tell you the shortest route along the Moscow subway, and the second will help you switch to the links of sites encrypted in the advertisement in the train carriage.

Yandex.Maps, Yandex.Navigator

[Yandex.Maps – Download from App Store]

[Yandex.Navigator – Download from App Store]

Definitely the best in our latitudes. The main innovation and advantage over Google map is the ability to save city maps in the phone's memory, i.e. now you can work with the map without connecting to a mobile network or the Internet. This significantly speeds up the work with the application, and will also save traffic for those who are not subscribers of Megafon, Beeline or Kyivstar. Yandex.Maps overview

Navigator is a logical continuation of Yandex.Maps for motorists. The application has a user-friendly interface. Very simple with big icons. Which is extremely beneficial for health when poking at iPhone with your fingers while moving. There are night and day modes. When calculating the route, the program has color-coded road congestion. Yandex.Navigator overview

MotionX GPS

[MotionX GPS – Download from App Store]

Navigation harvester. Here you can find maps, a tracker, recording waypoints and even tracking heart activity. If you go for a walk or hike, I recommend taking it with you. The application is so feature-rich that you need to read the 37-page Help. When was the last time you used the help? And here it is necessary, tk. the interface is terrible. But nothing is perfect, otherwise this is the best app for iPhone for orienteering.

For those who want to understand the application, read the review.

Arrow, Mapcam

[Arrow – Download from App Store]

[Mapcam – Download from App Store]

Since we have touched on car navigators, we cannot ignore the topic of radar detectors for iPhone. Strelka and Mapcam won the test.

The cost of half the minimum penalty will be recouped quickly. Review-comparison of radar detectors for iPhone.

ViaMichelin Review.

Navitel

[Navitel – Download from App Store]

And vice versa. If you leave a large city of the former USSR for 100 kilometers, then Yandex.Maps will no longer help. And Navitel copes well with all long-distance routes. It helps fishermen and hunters a lot, although the interface is very military.

Review of Navitel.

Wikimapia, WikiPlaces

[Wikimapia – Download from App Store]

[WikiPlaces – Download from App Store]

The first is the official application of the Wikimapia.org service, the second is also working, but with ads. Huge database of all objects on the earth's surface. No reference book beats her.
