What are BMW connected apps all about?

My AUC F11 530 has this. Not too sure what it does or what problem it is trying to solve....

It allows you to control functionality on your smartphone from idrive.

Good examples are music streaming services, Spotify Deezer etc. These are phone apps but when connected via Apps you can select/search/changes songs etc via the idrive controller. Remember these services have thousands of tunes to stream but it's easy to do so from the car.

And the M lap timer that you can use to measure your 0-60 time!

Does anyone know of a list of apps that work?

I've only discovered Deezer and GoPro so far.

Spotify. The system very cleverly picked it up when I plugged in my iphone. Music scrolling on the car through spotify is pants though.

Download the BMW Connected App from AppStore, once installed, it also lists all the other apps that are available/ compatible...

Go pro
M lap time

These are useful in my case.
Though when I used go pro to record from Go pro 3, it had frozen frames.

M lap times is brilliant app!
