## What is HUDWAY Cast?

HUDWAY Cast app is designed to make using smartphone behind the wheel safer and less distracting. 

HUDWAY Cast app lets you manage basic smartphone functions behind the wheel in a quick, less-distracting way. It offers direct access to navigation, calls, messages, and music through its smart, driving-purposed interface. It’s designed to keep you focused on what really matters — on the road ahead. 

Navigation: 
Enter your destination or search for a POI — HUDWAY will create the best route to commute and give you turn-by-turn directions. The live 3D view of the road is easy to grasp, and you won’t get lost even at the most complicated junctions. And you won’t need Internet for that — the app will download offline maps for you to drive offline — globally!

Calls:
Keep your eyes on the road when receiving an incoming call — and use a swipe to accept or dismiss it. Add contacts to favorites and call them with one tap. 

Music:
Connect your Spotify account or music library — and manage tracks with quick swipes and taps. You can also listen to hundreds of radio stations from all over the world (please note that you’ll need Internet for streaming online audio).

Widgets: 
Quickly view your speed, ETA, trip statistics and driving score — and share your location with just one tap.

Recommendations on app use: 
Mount your phone anywhere in your car where it’s convenient for you to quickly reach it — for example, above the airvent. The app can be used as is, but together with our HUDWAY Cast device it will give you an unparalleled experience of driving with a real heads-up display: you’ll still be able to manage your calls, messages, and music on your smartphone, whereas navigation will be streamed wirelessly onto a transparent lens right in your line of sight.

### 1/5 — Garb

*2025-11-29*

Garb

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2023-07-05*

Great app, allows me to use this as an alternative as a car dashboard instead of having to pay a lot upgrade the headunit!

However, the Spotify integration doesn’t work correctly! It lets me log in but won’t play any music. Just gets stuck on loading forever! 

Would be nice if this was fixed as having everything all in one place is great, as at the moment, I have to quit the app and go into Spotify if I want music to be played. 

Please could you fix this?

**Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry for this issue. We stopped producing HUDWAY Cast several years ago and therefore, we don't develop software any longer. We hope some day we'll be able to devote a proper amount of time to fix the current issues. Thank you for your understanding!

### 3/5 — Sometimes it works some times it doesnt

*2023-05-20, version 1.2.11*

I would have given 5 stars if it works all the time. Sometimes i works perfectly but most times it does not. And maybe next update add the option that the app could work in the background while the phone is on stand by.

### 5/5 — Love it but I got a few thing you could add

*2023-05-11*

One thing is what if you can text in the app in the contacts area

Next is if you can open app in the app or at least shortcuts

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you a lot for sharing and for the rating – we'll do our best to add these features in the future, but we can't guarantee this, since we stopped developing this app a long time ago. Thank you once again!

### 3/5 — I cant use mi Spotify

*2022-11-10*

I have Premium but still not working, i cant reproduce any music of spotify

**Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry for this inconvenience. Spotify isn't available through our app anymore. We apologise for inconvenience once again!

### 3/5 — Spotify

*2022-10-20*

Tengo Spotify premium familia y no se pone la música estoy muy decepcionado.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're very sorry for this issue. Currently, Spotify isn't available in our app since we stopped producing HUDWAY Cast and for now we lack resources to develop the app on a stable base. We're sorry for the inconvenience it creates! Thank you!

### 1/5 — Very dim app

*2022-09-19*

Super dim. My phone screen is super bright compaired to this hudway cast device

I can use the app properly on this hudway cast device on ios 16. Please fix and also give up a way to make super bright.

This app is completely un usable with current ios 16

**Developer response:** Hi Khyle! We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please check this article https://hudway.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013447554-Adjusting-projection-brightness. If nothing helps, perhaps, we'll be able to assist you at support@hudway.co. Thank you so much!

### 4/5 — Ben realizzata ma manca ancora qualcosa

*2022-05-22*

Bene per la navigazione e per la chiamata rapida di alcuni contatti, ma per la musica non sono soddisfatto: da utilizzatore di YouTube Music non c’è alcuna integrazione.
Aggiungete questa possibilità e allora sarà da 5 stelle per me.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for your comment! We can't promise you that it will be implemented any time soon, but we've noted it for ourselves. Once again thank you and please contact us at supprot@hudway.co if you need extra help with the unit.

### 4/5 — This app is great

*2022-03-19*

Do you think you could add Amazon music to the app

**Developer response:** Hi! So happy you like the app 😊 Unfortunately, we don't plan to do it, but we'll mark your request for our dev team. Thank you so much!

### 4/5 — Fast perfekt

*2021-09-03*

Mir gefällt die App sehr gut. Als Verbesserungsvorschlag würde ich mir noch eine Anzeige der gefahrenen Kilometer und gefahrene Zeit wünschen. Ebenfalls schade ist, dass der Querneigungssensor nur mit der externen Anzeige funktioniert. In der HUD Widgets App des gleichen Entwicklers geht es ja auch. Dann gäbe es 5 Sterne.

**Developer response:** Hallo! Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Wir empfehlen die Verwendung eines HUDWAY Cast-Geräts mit AirPlay-Option unter iOS. Sie werden einen Smartphone-Bildschirm sehen, wie er ist. Für weitere Informationen kontaktieren Sie uns bitte unter support@hudway.co. Vielen Dank noch einmal!
