The U.K. government is feeling some heat for its iPhone application development efforts, including spending as much as £40,000 ($61,000) on a Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency app designed to offer users "a masterclass for changing your wheel."

The development costs for the iPhone apps were reported Tuesday by BBC News, which obtained them through a Freedom of Information request. Among the other apps, all of which cost at least £10,000 ($15,000) to develop, were a travel advice app and one for job-seekers, called Jobcentre Plus.
