Driving app I made for my older dad
Hi everyone. I hope this post is appropriate for the community. I just wanted to share a new iPhone app I made for my older (80-something) dad. I figure there will be others here with older parents who might find it useful.
It's called TapDrive, and it's a quick launcher that makes it easy to kick off one-way or round-trip driving directions to favorite locations.
My dad is still driving, and on a recent visit, I saw that he used the Apple Maps app every time he drove somewhere to assure himself that he wouldn't get lost.
But I realized the built-in maps app did a lot, *lot* more than he needed. He's retired and drives to the same places over and over, so a much simpler app would work for him. That's where TapDrive came from. You set up a list of favorite locations, and then with a couple of taps, you can launch the Apple Maps app with the navigation ready to go.
Anyway, if you're interested, you can check it out on the App Store. I hope it proves useful to someone else too.

Thanks!
P.S. And in case someone wonders, I intend to add support for other maps apps (Google Maps, etc.) in the future.
