We’re not quite sure why MaxQData is claiming that its new Bliss Trek iPhone application is the “first eco-driving application for iPhone” when there were at least five such applications available 11 months ago, but that’s the PR angle. Bliss Trek has some neat features - it’s sort of like a SmartGauge that lives in your phone (it’s even got the leaves) and can be used in any car - but it’s certainly not first such program out of the gate.
Using GPS signals, Bliss Trek gathers speed and acceleration data to determine if the driver is making smooth, efficient driving choices. If so, the app ups your “Bliss Score.” Driving fast and idling will make you lose points. If you do particularly well and like to show off, you can Tweet your score from inside the app. While there are a lot of animated cues to let you know how you’re doing, the app also uses audio signals to tell the driver when they’re driving green. Bliss Trek is now available in the iTunes App Store for 99 cents.
