Introduction

Dash is a unique mobile application designed to revolutionize the way you drive. With a focus on efficiency, performance, and social engagement, Dash helps you make the most of your vehicle while reducing wear and tear.

Features and Functionality

Dash is much more than a simple trip tracker. Once you input the make and model of your vehicles, it calculates their gas mileage based on speed and distance. This provides a detailed understanding of your fuel efficiency and can help you optimize your driving habits.

The app's interface is straightforward and user-friendly. After setup, Dash automatically records your trips, mapping out your routes, average speed, and trip duration. This feature not only gives a comprehensive overview of your driving patterns but also offers insight into potential alternative routes and the time it takes to travel specific distances.

Select Car Option

With Dash, you can select which car you are driving for each trip. This allows the app to provide detailed information on the gas consumption for each journey, comparing it to that of your other vehicles. This way, Dash helps you make informed decisions about which car to use for your trips based on fuel efficiency.

Social Component

What sets Dash apart is its social component. The app incorporates a points system that rewards you for longer trips and fuel-saving efforts. As you accumulate points and improve your driving efficiency, you advance in the ranking, adding a competitive edge to your daily commute. This social aspect not only makes driving more enjoyable but also encourages responsible and efficient driving habits.

Conclusion

In summary, Dash is an innovative app that transforms driving into a more efficient and enjoyable task. It provides valuable insights into your vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency while offering a competitive edge through its social component. Whether you have long daily commutes or are just an occasional driver, Dash can help you optimize your driving experience while saving gas.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • READ_SYNC_SETTINGS: Allows applications to read the sync settings.
  • READ_SYNC_STATS: Allows applications to read the sync stats.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS: Allows applications to write the sync settings.
  • android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS
  • android.permission.FLASHLIGHT
  • android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS
  • android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
  • com.dashlabs.dash.android.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE
