Ratings and reviews

When it works, it is good. However, always seems to be a disconnect between my phone and my android auto cable connection. When it disconnects, have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to 'reset' until 30 seconds later, it does it again, and then again, and then again, and [my point exactly]. It continues disconnecting, even though the cord seems fine. Tried other cords too, they're worse than the original one. Is Android Auto aware of Bluetooth and connecting wirelessly?!

This app was my life until samsung did an update in June. Now it no longer connects to my vehicle even though it sees the vehicle and tells me to continue on the car screen... it does nothing. Yes, I've done the research, I've checked permissions, restarted everything, cleared data/cache, tried to reconnect everything, and as a last resort, factory reset everything. I've literally made no progress and now I'm stuck with no GPS for work and can't talk on my phone over the car speakers. 👎

Many of the issues I have are mostly navagation problems. It's not always clear how to get things done, but the motto of android "is figure it out." The disconnects are super annoying. Other issues are more towards app support. Not sure if that should fall on this app or the individual apps, so I didn't take off for that. Edit25-07-17 Disconnects are less. Amazon music sucks for AA. That's amazons fault though. I'm waiting for this lovely new version before I change my rating though.
