Ratings and reviews

It could be a pretty good app. The problem is that the wireless connection is...odd to say the least. There are specific 'blackout' areas, as in physical locations, where android auto is guaranteed to disconnect. Disconnecting consistently (every time) occurs in 3 areas that I frequent and it is incredibly frustrating. I've waited a couple years now hoping for a fix but it seems this is something not on the list of fixes. Would love to hear any feedback on this if anyone has additional info.

Edit: playing music is great and all, but I can do that with Bluetooth. Communication has been FAR too unreliable lately. I dictate a message, it reads the message back to me to verify, I say yes send, and it closes. But doesn't send the message. Which in turn leads to all sorts of issues. If communication isn't reliable, AA is USELESS to me. This remains at 1 star until I get at least a year of consistent functionality. Thumbs down, Google, you messed it up again.

I really used to love this app, worked fine before the latest update. It makes hands free driving really easy. However, lately it keeps saying "something went wrong" every time I try to call, text or use a voice command. This has made the app useless. I can still receive a message but can't reply to anything. It clearly needs a fix. Yes, I I've restarted, reinstalled, cleared every thing and nothing works!!
