Seems like Ford has pulled the list off their site, and finding what apps work, is harder and harder.
So, for future reference, and those that might be interested:
From what I gathered from Google pictures, and youtube vids, I think these apps are working with Sync 3, and some of their functions:
- Sirius XM travel link; a Sirius app, that allows you to see :
- SiriusXM Traffic
- Travel Link Movie Listings
- Travel Link Sports Scores
- your sirius XM subscription data
- Travel Link Fuel Prices
- Weather Maps, Forecasts, and Alerts
- Ski conditions
- Sirius Satellite Radio (Listen to the music of your choice)
- Possibly more...
Cost $1.99/month
- Accuweather; A weather app, allows you to see :
- Weather map/Radar
- Weather forecast Hourly/Daily/Week
- 60 min rain forecast
- Extreme weather alerts (like wind/rain/temperature/...)
- Possibly more...
- Ford + Alexa; a Ford app, that uses your car's audio system, like an Amazon Echo, using voice commands. Alexa can do things like:
- Play back your Amazon library music
- read your audio books from the library,
- Check the weather or temperature

- Stream music (included in prime), or play podcast
- Winefinder (find the right wine for your dinner; I wonder what wine it would offer for McDonalds)
- Order food (pizza), including for delivery (to your car) , or flowers
- Call, speak to, or monitor activity on another Alexa powered device (eg: the Echo in your living room)
- Via Amex, Check your American Express Credit Card balance

- Schedule meetings with those you have access to their calendars
- Call AAA or find a nearby mechanic, or get first aid advice
- Control your home thermostat (Nest Learning Thermostat, Honeywell Lyric, Ecobee 3 & 4)
- And many more...
Alexa is basically a free version of SiriusXM Travell link, but with more flexibility and options.
- Ford Pass; a Ford app, that allows things like:
- Get vehicle health alerts
- Find and reserve parking ahead of time in parking lots and garages in select cities
- Call or chat with a FordGuide Access Roadside Assistance
- Find: Easily discover gas stations, restaurants and more.
- Manage: service history, maintenance schedule and Ford Credit payments
- Possibly more...
- Pandora; a Music app, that allows you to listen to streaming radio.
plans of $4,99/month or $9.99/month allow ad free, higher quality audio; and other options
- SiriusXM; a digital over air Radio, that allows you to listen to several channels.
Similar to FMHD radio included in the MySync 3 radio, but at a cost
- ExxonMobil Speedpass; Gas station feedback and reward point app.
- Spotify; Stream music files from Spotify.
- NPR One; listen to stories, shows, and podcasts from NPR and your local public radio station.
- Glympse; share your real-time location using GPS tracking, with anyone you choose (good for parents to keep an eye out on their sons).
- Domino's Pizza; Order Pizza on the go.
- iHeart Radio; Free radio, music and Pod casts.
...Maybe more...
Would be nice to see someone who actually has tried some of them, to confirm if all the options in Google store are also working on the Sync 3 radio.
I suspect since Ford has pulled the list of apps off their site, that the new update of 2017 has some issues with some apps (incompatible with the newer firmware).
