Before hitting the road the next time, download Waze, the most user-generated traffic information app. It provides updates on police traps, jams, accidents, road blockades, etc. by locals in real-time. Thus, the latest information about the road can be found through Waze. It also saves cost by comparing the oil prices of the gas stations along your routes or around you.

The purpose of travel apps would be reduced to half if they fail to provide local information. So, Around Me provides all the points of interest that are located near you. It detects your current location, and lets you select from categories like bars, cafés, hospitals, and hotels to filter though the results.
You can review the places on a map, or try the AR feature with markers overlaid on your phone' camera viewfinder. It's undoubtedly a quality app, but its mileage may vary as some locations do not have as many results as others (I tried Tokyo, and the results were not so helpful).
