All are free but I paid for Sportacular to avoid ads.
Is there a Google-maps app for the iPhone? On WM, there is, and, at least here in Houston, the traffic color coding now covers more than just the Interstates. Many of the high usage surface streets are color coded (Green-Yellow-Red). Houston also has a system similar to "sig-alerts", but the Google-Maps application does a lot more. It is also cell tower & GPS aware, and has turn by turn navigation.
