### 3/5 — Conectar la app al carro

*2022-04-13, version 6.9*

Hola cómo conecto la aplicación a mi carro no me aparece me sale otras pero esta no

### 2/5 — Extremely expensive pro option.

*2021-11-02*

The subscription nightmare continues.  This is a great app, let’s get that out right away.  The problem shows up when you want to support the developer and upgrade to the paid version.  Expensive lifetime options are a total gamble.  Who’s lifetime are we talking about??  Mine?  The developers??  The products??  Shelling out the kind of $$$ the developers are asking for an iOS that tells me the same information I have on my analog dashboard is bad enough, but not knowing if the app will be updated again makes upgrading too risky for the $$$. If the app doesn’t get updated the next iOS version or hardware change, then it’s a total waste. I don’t mind paying for new options, the developer deserves that but not at the initial price they are asking for ?????

### 2/5 — I’d avoid it.

*2020-06-11, version 6.2*

Paid £16.99 for a years premium features, didn’t get access to them.

### 1/5 — Navigation

*2020-05-23*

How are you supposed to use the navigation when you can’t add a location? And once you upgrade the add doesn’t upgrade but still charges you.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this. We just fixed in version 6.5

### 1/5 — BE AWARE !!!.  Don't waste your time or money!!!!!!

*2020-02-20*

I upgraded to pro and it still doesn't let me access the pro features. They took my money and it doesn't work. I have tried multiple times to contact the developer via email and have not gotten a response.  Don't trust this app.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this. We just acquired the app from the previous developer and fixed this issue.

### 1/5 — App crashes on launch

*2019-10-02, version 6.2*

App crashes on launch. Unusable.

### 1/5 — Way overpriced

*2019-10-01, version 6.2*

Paying a subscription that expensive just to connect to Spotify is not justified for me. I tried the app and deleted it when I realized Spotify was not included by default.

### 1/5 — Promised an update. Still doesn’t work.

*2019-05-18, version 6.0*

Have an iPad Pro 12.9 2018 model. I paid for this app and half the features are behind a paywall. That nonsense aside, you still can’t even purchase the premium features as it straight up doesn’t work. 

On top of all this they put Spotify behind a paywall which is against Spotify’s Terms of Conditions for developers. This guys a fraud and a con.

### 4/5 — Great app but needs some tweaks

*2019-04-17*

Very nice and clean UI. However, when looking at it from 2-3 ft away, it’s hard to see and tap the app icons. It would be nice to increase the size of the icons and UI elements like the text when a song is playing. 

The home bar on the iPhone X is always active and doesn’t go away. This affects the middle 2 icons on the bottom row since the home bar overlaps them. The home bar needs to be moved up a couple pixels. 

There might be too many apps in the bottom row. Allow either a favorites section with 3 or 4 icons and have a scrolling section for everything else.

Overall. This app is great.

### 4/5 — Cool app but missing a few things

*2019-04-07*

Looks cool and works great for me so far. Way better than CarOS or any of the other car interface apps. However, I can’t upgrade to Pro and there aren’t much music controls in the app to skip songs or go back. Only lets you play/pause, which is inconvenient. Would be cool if the app had weather information on the main screen too.

**Developer response:** Great feedback thanks!

### 1/5 — Can not use with CarPlay

*2019-03-29, version 5.5*

If you have a CarPlay radio you would want to use an app like this. But it does not work on CarPlay. Seems silly having a big screen then using an app like this on a phone

### 2/5 — Can’t get full version

*2019-03-27, version 5.5*

I wanted to pay for the full version to get Spotify integration, but it never worked. Everything else is cool and very visually pleasing, but without Spotify, it doesn’t help me. I wish it would work.

### 1/5 — Nothing works! Don’t waste your money

*2019-03-12, version 5.5*

It is not a free app, I have paid for this app but unfortunately nothing works! Nothing works at all in this app. They advertised you can use Spotify inside this app but it doesn’t work as well! Playing music, video, radio nothing works! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

### 1/5 — Impossible tru to how to navigate semi truck on this app

*2021-09-03, version 6.9*

Can’t try it

### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading - zero free features

*2021-07-16*

You can’t do a single thing without paying the subscription. I was only able to load the app once to find that out. Now it just hangs on the disclaimer page after I tap Agree

### 1/5 — Do not buy this app!

*2021-03-19*

First off, you can’t do anything on the app until you purchase the pro version.
You can’t adjust volume in app for road assistance, if I add an address and want to cancel, you can’t. Theres no end route button for that option. Anyone wanting a navigation app is better off getting Waze than this app.

**Developer response:** Hendawg, 

Before you are charged for the pro version you get a free 3 day trial which you can cancel at anytime. The app provides value by keeping everything on one page/one application while driving instead of using multiple apps at the same time.

### 1/5 — Can’t use it without subscription.

*2021-01-19, version 6.9*

Description says you only need a subscription for browser and Spotify. Not true. Can’t do anything. Just get a persistent pop up telling you to subscribe. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Seemed Like a good app but nothing works

*2020-11-27, version 6.9*

When I first got this app I thought there would be some things blocked out with the free version. As it turns out EVERYTHING is blocked out. At least let me use maps, music and phone.

### 1/5 — Can't restore Pro

*2020-11-25, version 6.9*

This app changed to a monthly subscription and now I can restore my previous Pro level. I click restore and nothing happens and I am not paying the rediculas amount for a subscription.

### 1/5 — No work

*2020-11-09, version 6.9*

Don’t do nothing in my iPhone 11..

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-10-11*

Perhaps it works with subscription; however, I cannot afford it!  Recently tried Drive Box; can no longer access any of my music; every time I attempt to do ANYTHING, I get an offer to subscribe to Pro!  Down to one star now.  Thought I might have purchased this app many years ago (if so, it was a one-time price).  I used to love it (and gave raving reviews) because it played my purchased music in Dropbox.  Now it’s useless!

**Developer response:** Contact our support email and we will fix your issue.

### 1/5 — Paid subscription, No response.

*2020-07-24*

I paid for the subscription and the pro features did not activate. When I tried to email for support, got notified the email does not work. Sad I have to cancel subscription, this could be a great nav/dashboard app

**Developer response:** This is fixed in 6.4. Let us know if you’re still experiencing issues.

### 1/5 — No pro unlock??? I subscribed to pro and it will not unlock. The devs email is invalid!!!

*2020-06-02, version 6.2*

Upgraded to pro and it still will not unl

### 5/5 — Question

*2022-02-03, version 6.9*

Would this let me play YouTube onto my car screen ?

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-11-01, version 6.9*

Perfect and it works great

### 5/5 — Co-Pilot App

*2021-06-01, version 6.9*

Great app! Allows me to keep multiple apps in the same location, really cool.

### 5/5 — Drive and Vibe! Great app!

*2021-03-20*

Great interface. Easy to play music while driving. I’ll recommend to everyone looking for an easy to use navigation.

### 5/5 — Best dashboard

*2020-09-16, version 6.6*

Love the Spotify integration

### 5/5 — Allows me to stay safe

*2020-08-31, version 6.5*

I don’t have to take my eyes off the road anymore, all of my phones features at my fingertip.
That dark mode too: I don’t get blinded in the night!

### 5/5 — Loosing money.

*2020-02-28*

Your loosing money, the purchase option is not going through. I would hurry and pay like I have been doing for this past hour, there is just no way for me to purchase it. Plzzz fix asap

**Developer response:** This is fixed in 6.4. Let us know if you’re still experiencing issues.

### 5/5 — Pro on top dashboard

*2018-12-30*

Can you remove pro icon on top. Tried to purchase to make disappear but won’t let me purchase

### 5/5 — Reasonable

*2018-08-14, version 5.2*

It’s a good starting point. I use it as an additional screen as my iPads installed in the dash. 
My only suggestion, input Spotify capability. Once you’ve got that it will make it a 5 star app for me.

### 5/5 — Elegant simplicity

*2018-03-08*

Because the app is not cluttered with tons of bells and whistles, however since I’m really into music I would love to see maybe a spectrum display, more than one option, I love it.
