会有卡顿

已购永久,投屏可以正常使用,但是投屏时隔几分钟,画面会卡住,视频都是本地已经下载好了的,不存在网络卡顿问题,只需要退出投屏,再重新投就又可以播放,希望尽快优化下

The application is a great and I hope you work on the application to work with iPad in full screen not iPhone apps

Response from developer

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad CarTV is helpful to you. 😊 We have noted your request for full-screen support on iPad. Indeed, many users prefer a native full-screen experience on iPad rather than the scaled iPhone mode. We will share this feedback with our development team for serious consideration.

Please make it free.

Please make it free.🥺🙏🏻😖

If there are specific features you don’t currently use but would really like to have, please feel free to let us know. We will seriously take them into consideration~
