Ratings and reviews

CONSTANTLY losing my phone on Android auto! I have a Samsung Note 20. It's 50/50 hit or miss if my phone and truck are going to sync up using android Auto each time I get in the truck! When it doesn't connect, I have to go through about 20 minutes of fiddling to get it to work again! And even then, it's hit or miss if it's going to be choppy or not, audio constantly cutting out, maps lag, even just switching between functions can take several minutes. Disappointment to say the least.

Not sure what's going on with this app, but all of a sudden it stopped connecting properly, my car doesn't recognize my device, I've tried changing the charging cord, deleting my phone from my car, and disconnecting and reconnecting Bluetooth but nothing works. I'm trying to update the app but that won't work either, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app which also doesn't work. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's the app.

Works well most of the time. This app, or maybe it's Google maps, does not like city driving (which is usually when I need it most), it gets lost and recalibrates to reroute randomly, even if I'm just sitting at a red light. I also recently have had an issue where it won't let me connect to Android Auto/it disconnects when I put on a podcast on spotify. Update: Now it will randomly disconnect even when playing music. This app gets worse and worse with each update...
