Ratings and reviews

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.

EDIT! The app works much better now than it used to, however due to there being a software update for my car (which was attempted to be installed following the directions and never could get it to work) I constantly get a notification every time I use Android Auto in my car, which is practically every time I drive anywhere. 6/20/2021 Really enjoy the concept, wish it would stay connected a little better and not cut out all the time.

Love it Android Auto does a fantastic job integrating Google Maps, making navigation smooth and keeping things safe on the road. I really wish it would let us report incidents like on Google phones. Google Maps has a “+ Reports” button that lets you add things like a stalled car, slowdowns,etc. While navigating in Android Auto, that option disappears. It would be an easy integration into Android Auto and then make Voice Commands that work for Phone and Android Auto!
