The Best Vehicle Data & Analytics Apps for Android Automotive.

Android Automotive OS (AAOS) lets native apps read real vehicle signals in the car. The pool of high-quality analytics apps in the Play Store is still small because AAOS integration is demanding — here are the standouts we use today.

The Top Contenders

Currently, there are only a few apps that truly leverage native vehicle data for analytics. Here are the best options available today.

Aximote

Aximote is the ultimate driving analysis app built specifically for AAOS. It runs natively in your car, automatically tracking every trip, calculating exact fuel or charging costs, and analyzing your driving efficiency. It requires no smartphone or OBD dongle.
