Ratings and reviews

I normally do not pay for apps-I use only free ones-but I was very excited to be able to have access to my Apple Music on my Equinox EV. I am glad to have that, but the app is very clunky. Songs will play for a few seconds and skip. Songs will play and then restart halfway through. A song that is paused for a phone call or something similar will rarely start from where it left off. I’m glad to have access to Apple Music, but I expected more from an app that I had to pay for.

I gave it 3 stars due to it being the only way to play Apple Music at this point but it has a lot of issues. The biggest one is stopping mid song and skipping to another song. Not sure why it happens. It is also very very slow. Sometimes it refuses to play at all and I have to switch to another app and then back in to get it to work again. Considering that this is a paid app it’s a bit frustrating to say the least

Good first version - thank you!I can now use Apple Music on my Cadillac Optiq. Would love if I could still use “hey google” voice commands while Automus is playing but it appears to override google voice. Also noted from other reviewers that Dolby Atmos support would be awesome but realize that is limited by Apple not exposing it via API. Overall works great and navigation easy!
