Enjoying it!

Great app. I purchased it to get a CarPlay like interface on an actual iOS device (iPad) that I’m using as a replacement for the infotainment system in an older vehicle. So far it has performed flawlessly and exactly as advertised. The built in customization features allow for an aesthetically pleasing display with substantially more flexibility in display content over CarPlay. App also features some handy widgets including weather, time, location and speed overlayed in a very pleasing top banner with a customizable transparent background. I’ve only encountered a minor glitch where the app opens up with large buttons in lieu of the saved configuration but it automatically corrects itself after a few operations. For the iPad users, providing more options in customizing the shortcut buttons (size, image, screen placement), more selection of category icons (like a currency $ symbol) and the addition of a compass widget in the banner would further enhance the product.

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed review and for choosing iCarMode! I’m really glad to hear it’s working well as an infotainment replacement on your iPad. I also appreciate the thoughtful suggestions regarding shortcut customization, additional icons, and the compass widget — feedback like this is extremely valuable when planning future improvements. If you’re open to it, I’d love to hear more about your ideas and the use case you described. Please feel free to contact me through the support section in the app or at support@icarmode.com.

This is app is great in my MG4 as it saves me using wired CarPlay in car !

Very nice App

Very nice!

Not a true dashboard, no trial period

This tool only groups shortcuts to the some apps and is not a driving dashboard, and definitely not a CarPlay alternative. Shortcuts only open apps in their native format which isn’t helpful when driving.

If you are looking for a tool that overlays audio controls (play/pause/next track etc) of your favourite music app (e.g. Tidal) over your favourite navigation app (e.g. Waze) this is not it.

The lack of a trial period meant that I couldn’t test this functionality until after I purchased it.

Geht so

Verbindet sich nicht automatisch mit dem Handy. Setzt manchmal aus. Und sobald der Strom weg ist kann man Nix mehr überprüfen weder wo das Auto geparkt wurde noch andere Daten.
Ansonsten während der Fahrt ok.
