About this app

Are you a glutton for punishment? Finally, there is an Android navigation app that will curse you out while you drive, make fun of you for missing turns, and just generally act like a complete jerk. Back Seat Navigator harnesses advanced Mapbox technology to help you get where you need to go...even if it is making fun of you the whole way. Is this the most obnoxious navigation app ever? You be the judge...

BSNavigator features:
- Accurate turn-by-turn directions from Mapbox.
- Selectable navigation modes (Driving (Avoid Traffic), Driving, Walking, Cycling).
- Selectable profanity settings (On, Some, None).*
- Switchable insult settings (On, Off).**
- Night and Day modes.
- Buttloads of obnoxious directions, insults, and rerouting instructions.
- Ability to select routes that avoid tolls.
- Ability to automatically change units based on the device's locale.

Info about BSNavigator Location Permissions:
- Navigation apps require access to the device's foreground location. Without the location permission, they can't function properly or provide accurate turn-by-turn instructions.
- As soon as the app is opened and a subscription is enabled, you will be asked to grant the app foreground and background location permissions. These permissions can be changed at any time in the device Settings.
- BSNavigator will operate without the background location permission, but users will have to keep the app open in order to receive accurate turn-by-turn instructions.
- If you are interested in using the app while it's closed, you will have to grant the app access to the device's background location permissions. You can disable background location permissions at any time in the device Settings and the app will still function normally while it's open.

Info about BSNavigator Subscriptions:
- Payment will be changed to your Google Play account once you confirm the subscription.
- The Month and Year subscriptions allow you unlimited access to the app for the period of the subscription. These options remove all ads and allow for unlimited drives/routes during the period of the subscription.
- The Subscription options automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off or the subscription is cancelled before the end of the current subscription period.
- You can cancel your subscription at any time in the subscriptions section on Google Play. When you cancel your subscription, you’ll lose access to the subscription at the end of the current billing period.
- You will not receive a prorated refund if you cancel a subscription in the middle of a billing period. Instead, you will continue to receive the subscription content for the remainder of the current billing period, regardless of the cancellation date.
- You might find a payment authorization on your payment method up to 24-hours before the renewal date but you’ll only be charged on the renewal date. To remove the payment authorization, cancel the subscription before the renewal date.
- Automatic renewals will cost the same price you were originally charged for the subscription.
- You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to the Subscriptions section on Google Play after subscribing. There is also a link to manage subscriptions in the BSNavigator Purchases page located in the upper right drop down menu in the app.
- You can also add a second payment method to your Google Play account to help prevent interruptions to your subscription service in case your primary payment method expires or fails.
- Once a subscription expires, ads will be shown again in the app.
- Read the app Terms of Use / Privacy Policy for more information.

Ratings and reviews

Like the sarcasm, but lost me with "free drives" I enjoyed wtforecast and was ok with the ads. I caught an ad for this in that app and was like cool. Grabbed it and tried it with a route I know well to see how it responded to things like missed turns, etc and liked the responses. Didn't like it used mapbox but whatever. When I reached my destination, I stopped navigation and saw 9 remaining free drives. Lost me right there. I'd rather the ads instead of pay wall.

If the zoom got down closer, this app would have everything I really need in a map program, especially the voice turn-by-turn directions that hurl obscenities and vulgar insults at me while I drive (optional) - I laugh so hard at how creative some of them are, it keeps me from road-raging. I even use it for trips where I know where I'm going so I can laugh the whole way there. It's great; so freakin' hilarious!

Been using this for about 5 years. I used to love this app, but hadn't used it in a while because of some issues it was having. I pulled it up today to see if it was dependable, only to find it's now subscription only. If you need to move to a subscription based app, fine. But, please have a limited free version, free trial, or something similar so we can see if it's something worth paying for. Since I have no way to know if it's worth paying for or not I'm forced to uninstall, sadly.
