1 articles · Updated · SlashGear · May 17

SlashGear spotlighted four lesser-used Android Auto apps—SpotHero, Audible, Vivaldi Browser and Google’s GameSnacks—as free ways to expand in-car functions beyond navigation and music.
Android Auto works with compatible vehicles and phones running Android 9.0 or newer, connecting by cable or Bluetooth and letting drivers keep using phone-based services on the infotainment screen.
SpotHero helps users find and reserve parking in major U.S. cities, including event venues, and supports Google Pay; the app carries a 4.4-star Play Store rating and more than 1 million installs.
Audible adds audiobook playback, while Vivaldi Browser brings web access, ad blocking and customization for use when parked safely.
GameSnacks rounds out the list with HTML5 casual games such as Solitaire and Fruit Cube Blast, aimed at drivers waiting in parked cars rather than on the road.
