Ratings and reviews

The layout is good stuff. The problem is it requires location all the time, even when I'm not using it or driving and the battery usage is insane. I used it for a 10 minute drive and it has used the most battery than any other app by 2x. A "light" version that mimicked Android Auto and shut down when not in use would be perfect.

This is THE BEST headunit integration I've seen so far for Android systems. I'm running this on an RSNAV headunit that is a special build for Audis. Still working to get some more music players as options in the home page widget. But just love the layout and structured simplicity you need when driving a car and not be distracted with unnecessary touch points. I also tried the "Card Layout" but miss more customization option there - i.e. standard app widgets being pulled in.

Using this on a Dasaita head unit. So far it's great. I do have a few bugs however. Play store when I click search and start typing it crashes. If I browse the store it's fine. Also the Google maps widget doesn't live update for turn by turn navigation for some odd reason but will show directions and est time. I would need to click it to open up full Google maps. Few other bugs but can't wait to see what devs do with this and hopefully more updates to fix bugs.
