iPad Free App of the Week: 511

If you live and drive around Metro Atlanta you need the recently updated 511 app for your iPad and/or iPhone.

This app was helpful just for the traffic news it provided, now there's more. This app can save you money while you are on the go.

And best of all the app is free! "That's the whole idea is to give users opportunities to tap into special offers all over the state at no cost to you just to generate business in this economy," Amy Woodward Parrish of 511 Live said.

Another benefit is that you don't have to buy into it over the Internet like other deal websites. You simply show the coupon on your phone at the place of business.

It's easy to use, once the app is up on your phone or tablet, you can change the range of how far out you want it to go, and it will tell you all the deals that it has to offer within that range. Restaurants, dry cleaners, car washes, they are all on here.

Other features:

GPS locations are now refreshed and results are more accurate.

Searching by Location provides more refined data based on the city and state you enter.
Additional locations have now been included in the Categories and Search screens.
Better validations, alert messages and activity indicators have been implemented
