Ratings and reviews

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...

One step forward, two steps back--or so it seems. I've got the Pixel 9 Pro (upgraded from 8 Pro and 6 Pro before that). While the user experience has improved on the whole, Android Auto still feels largely incomplete. P9 Pro still gets hotter than it should, and data connection is still constantly unstable as a result. By now, I expect better. Music apps are frequently unresponsive and don't load media that I request or tap on from the display. Android Auto still needs some serious optimisation.

Well I for one am glad I started to use this app while driving. Your texts come through the app and you can listen to them and even respond with your voice or with a touch of your screen. You can take and make calls through your car or trucks system. This works well with my UConnect System in my RAM 1500. It's a seamless connection. And once you reach your destination you can easily switch to your handset with the a tap on your screen.
