### 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.

### 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!

### 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!

### 3/5 — Tolles Design, Verbesserungen möglich

*2021-08-18*

Das Design der Maps Ansicht ist toll und würde ich mir auch für andere Apps wünschen. Verbesserungsvorschläge: Akkuverbrauch senken Hochformat Die Spotify Funktion synchronisiert sich nicht mit der Wiedergabe aus der Spotify App, das ist sehr schade. Es sollte beides zusammen funktionieren. 3D Ansicht in der Karte. Kartenfunktionen mit der Google Maps App verknüpfen aber das schwarze Design benutzen.

**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 mit Google Maps auch sehen, wie er ist. Für weitere Informationen kontaktieren Sie uns bitte unter support@hudway.co. Vielen Dank noch einmal!

### 3/5 — Keine Anmeldung bei Spotify möglich

*2021-04-26*

Kann mich über die App nicht bei Spotify anmelden, trotz premium account und installierten Spotify. Im Browserfenster kommt nach Eingabe der Zugangsdaten stets „da ist etwas schiefgelaufen“. Bitte um Hilfe.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. For instructions on your questions could you please text us at hudway@support.co asap and we'll be happy to expand on this. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge:

*2020-05-29*

Hier ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge:

- Der Trackwechsel bei Spotify ist sehr „abgehakt“ leider kein sanfter Übergang was sehr störend ist
- wäre super, wenn man eine andere Navigationsapp eingestellt hat diese bereits mit Tip auf das Navigationssymbol an der rechten Seite starten würde ohne das man erst umständlich alles in der HUDWAYCast Go App eingeben muss.

**Developer response:** Hallo! Vielen Dank für Ihre Kommentarien! Die HUDWAY Cast App für iOS funktioniert nur als Anbieter von Screen Recording Protokollstabilen Betrieb, also zögern Sie bitte nicht, jede Navigationsanwendung über dieses Protokoll zu verwenden, um Ihren iPhone-Bildschirm auf das HUDWAY Cast Objektiv zu streamen. Es tut uns leid, in naher Zukunft können wir keine neuen Implementierungen in der App versprechen. Sollten weitere Probleme auftreten, senden Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail an support@hudway.co. Nochmals vielen Dank!

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2019-12-13*

The worst map I have ever tried. When I touch the re-center button, it shows my position is one mile from what I actually am.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry for the poor experience with our app! The thing is, we can’t influence GPS signal quality anyhow. In case it's poor, the app won't operate correctly. Sorry for this!

### 4/5 — Muy buena

*2019-11-25*

Hace lo que promete de una manera sencilla e intuitiva.

No le doy 5 estrellas porque le faltan ciertas funciones para ser más completa: como por ejemplo el ajuste independiente del volumen de la voz de locución del navegador, ofrecer distintas opciones de visualización del menú principal y el velocímetro, o la posibilidad de establecer alertas de exceso de velocidad.

NOTA: El uso de Spotify sólo funciona si dispones de una cuenta premium en Spotify.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you a lot for your comment, we've ticked it in our wish-list. Feel free to contact us at support@hudwayapp.com if you have any questions and we'll try to help you. Have a nice day!

### 3/5 — App crashes in 5 minutes

*2019-10-23*

Great app if it was working. The HUDWAY cast loses connection within 5 minutes with the phone. Always require t stop vehicle to reset manually. Totally waste of time. You should make some changes on the app to keep the wireless connection with the phone

**Developer response:** Hi! Please accept our apologies for the unsatisfying experience. Will you please contact us at support@hudway.co to have our team fix the problem for you? Thank you!

### 2/5 — Great simple UI but...

*2019-10-11*

The only reason I am not going with one star because the User Interface is simple and nice. I love it because my vehicle does not have Car Play... but do not forget to close the app when you are done. It not only drained my battery but made my phone hot to touch and I even have a case on my phone. Yes it was that hot!!!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry for causing you so many troubles!   The thing is the phone heats up due to the constant search for your location. If there're any questions, get back via support@hudway.co.  Sorry once again and thank you for sharing your honest  estimation!

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2019-06-18*

HUD mode should be available like in the hudway widgets app also Spotify crashes all the time and the navigation apps don’t load

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry for the inconveniences caused! We're afraid we failed to understand you, could you please better email us at support@hudway.co with details on the trouble. We'll try our best to help you. Thank you in advance!

Garb

### 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!

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2021-05-29*

I bought the device years ago just after they released it. Connected the device by OBD, cannot “cast to HUD” the navigation. I thought a firmware update might solve the problem but never had any notification for updates from this app. got no reply to my email sent about one and half years ago. I thought they gave up the business as I gave up the device. Surprisingly found they are still selling! Just sent another email asking for support, hopefully they have someone doing the job

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-09-16*

Contacted support but took ages to reply (4months). I chucked the device as it’s unusable anymore. Had only been using Hudway Cast for 7 months then it stopped performing as advertised. What a waste of money. Poor customer service, won’t purchase any product from this company. I won’t recommend.

**Developer response:** Dear Philip, we apologise for such an unpleasant experience with our device! What is more we do apologise for the slow service we've been delivering to you. Please keep in touch with us via email. Thank you so much for your patience!

### 1/5 — Abstürze

*2020-03-28*

Alle 5 Sekunden stürzt die App ab. Sicher für das Auto ist diese App sicher nicht.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry for causing you so many troubles! Please contact us at support@hudwayapp.com and we'll try our best to help you. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Unusable. I had just high hopes.

*2019-11-19*

I brought this home so happy and ready to use it. I plug it in and get it setup and lone behold the app can’t pick it up. So I hardwired it in then it said a firmware update was available. I thought “oh sweet yeah this will update it and get it right” but all it did was display what I think they thought was cute as a “something went wrong” I backed out and tried again and it didn’t work. I tried using it as is and sure enough when I pressed “cast to hub” it casted the screen previous. Then I tried apple maps but that didn’t work because of the rotation of the phone. I’m so unbelievably frustrated.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry for causing you so many troubles! Please contact us at support@hudwayapp.com and we'll try our best to help you. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-08-02*

Absolute waste of money.  Keep submitting bug reports with no response. Cool concept but not ready for market.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry for causing you so many troubles! Please contact us at support@hudwayapp.com and we'll try our best to help you. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-05-28*

I have struggled with this gadget and hudway ld tech support for 6 months. Support has been less than helpful or really has offered any help other than YouTube videos and a 50 dollar credit. I was given this credit to essentially go away. But I was told even though I couldn’t return the device that I could have a credit and give it away as a gift or sell it. Well I’ve tried it on 5 iPhones and 2 androids and not once could I get it to work reliably. Fidgeting with this device while driving is an absolute hazard as it constantly goes out. It is not a reliable hud. And I’m super angry that how this company has treated me and stalled me out past return. I was told by a second person that I could return it and then kasy quickly jumped in to tell me I couldn’t. Your product doesn’t work and your business practices are questionable.

### 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!

### 5/5 — No speed and ETA displayed

*2021-02-01*

I love this app and it is very helpful while driving. The only bug I noticed was that it does not show ETA and Speed on the navigation screen, the one with the green route, rest the app is awesome.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry for the troubles caused! Could you please email us at support@hudway.co, we'll try our best to help. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Impresionante, sobre todo si no tienes carplay

*2020-10-22*

Me parece que la app funciona súper bien es intuitiva y esta genial de diseño. Perfecta para sustituir CarPlay. Casi os pediría como un favor que ajustéis a la resolución y tamaño de pantalla del iPhone 11 ya que el reloj de algunas pantallas principales no se ve completo al ser muy grande. También es necesario tener en cuenta el notch. Por favor corregidlo y me compro el cast.

**Developer response:** Hola Ivoquin! Muchas gracias por sus comentarios. Lo sentimos pero ya no hacemos actualizaciones para la app HUDWAY Cast, sólo soporte. Así que, por favor, presten atención a nuestro nuevo dispositivo HUDWAY Drive (la app HUDWAY Drive está disponible aquí en la AppStore también). Funcionará casi como HUDWAY Cast. Para más detalles, por favor envíanos un correo electrónico a support@hudway.co. ¡Gracias una vez más!

### 5/5 — Realmente sorprendido.

*2020-10-03*

A falta de poder utilizar el interface de Apple Car Play sobre el mismo iPhone para viajar en moto, habiendo probado distintas alternativas me he topado casi de casualidad con esta App que, aunque NO está pensada como dashboard para moteros, es FANTÁSTICA. 

1º.- Arranca siempre en modo landscape, bien, ya estaba harto de pedir esto a los desarrolladores de otras app q había comprado.

2°.- Todas las pantallas super intuitivas, con botones grandes y fáciles de manipular con guantes

3°.- Navegador muy muy intuitivo y fácil de manipular con guantes.

4°.- Lista de contactos favoritos personalizable

Sinceramente, para ser gratis aunque básica muy muy bien, lo más difícil lo tienen hecho. 

Deberían de hacer un desarrollo a parte para motos, con tan solo 4 cositas más sería una app fantástica!

——

Guys, your app is amazing for motorbike use, I have paid for other apps and yours is designed in the exact way the riders need.

You should develop an independent version for motorbike use, because you already have the most dificult things really well developed.

Just few little things more, like dial pad, list of  latest calls, random music, and please, an option to change vertical toolbar (home button, etc, from right to left side)

Anyway, good job guys, congrats, you made my day!!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Please, contact to me if you want more ideas, beta test or whatever, I will help you

**Developer response:** ¡Hola! ¡Muchas gracias por su detallada retroalimentación! Nuestro equipo de apoyo se pondrá en contacto con usted pronto. Estamos felices de que use nuestra aplicación y la disfrute :)

### 5/5 — Кастомизация

*2020-09-16*

Приложение отличное, бесплатные аналоги с подобным функционалом не найти. Красивое оформление встроенных карт, но. Я бы добавил некоторые функции: 
1. Кастомизация фонового изображения (или хотя бы смена цвета. Серый уж слишком унылый);
2. Более обширный функционал встроенного Spotify (подборки, поиск, любимые песни и т.д.). 

Перечисленные опции можно сделать даже платными. Уверен, что многие готовы отдать немного денег за подобное

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Большое спасибо за ваш отзыв и высокую оценку нашей работе. Мы передадим ваши пожелания в отдел разработки, но мы не можем обещать реализацию в ближайшее время. Мы сожалеем, что не смогли полностью оправдать ваши ожидания. Если у вас, есть какие-либо вопросы или пожелания, пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по эл.почте support@hudwayapp.com Спасибо и хороших вам выходных!
