Maroon Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I don't know if I really need one but I have an iPad and a blackberry and all I know is that I got no app for my soob. Watching others come out with nifty apps kinda makes me envious. The BMW mag on iPad is just absolutely incredible and other manufacturers are coming out with apps to monitor the car. Can we get some app love here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waaazooo Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 NASIOC has the android and Iphone apps.. Much easier to use at work on my phone. Tapatalk isn't hard to use though. Maybe you can ask a Mod to move this thread to the Site announcements or another forum where your suggestion can be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thread moved. But I think we have asked the Admins about apps before... You all could 'search' the Site Suggestions forum and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Are you talking about an app to browse the forums or an in car OBDII monitoring app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadcap Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I don't think this was a site suggestion. It sounded to me like a question on whether we can access the OBD with a smart phone over Bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 It wasn't a site suggestion. Sorry, should have made it clear. I am going to write to Subaru asking if they have any plans for things like these: 1. It would be nice if Subaru's magazine can come out on digital format. Before making my purchase, I looked at the Drive magazine. My last car being a BMW, I used to get the BMW magazines on my iPad and it was really neat. Not necessity but sure was nice. I used to get the German version as I learned a bit of German back in college and wanted to improve. It contained a lot of lifestyle related garbage but it also contained a lot of information about new models being introduced. I think it would be cool to see Subaru Drive mag and parts catalog on the iPad. 2. It would be nice if Subaru can develop iPhone, blackberry or android apps for performance monitoring or even remote starting (since Subarus kick ass in places that snow a lot). Audi is releasing an app that monitors the car performance and such. I believe Subaru owners can really embrace something like this. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/03/audi-launches-car-monitor-app-for-iphone/ I checked out the link to ObDroid. Definitely very cool.

MikeNH Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Why bother with a Subaru specific app for performance? I use Fastest Droid (Android phone obviously) and it does 1/4 mile, 0-60 and top speed. As for remote starting, it'd be neat but unlikely. Subaru doesn't have any sort of telematics system like OnStar or anything so they'd be starting from the ground up.
