### 2/5 — Does not play well with car stereos

*2023-12-06*

The app is a passable way to put KUGS on your iPhone. But it fails on a car stereo via usb. It will play, but there is no volume control. The workaround is to turn on Apple Music and adjust the volume (weirdly, both apps will play at the same time) then turn off Apple Music. 

Not really conducive to safe driving. Maybe they’ll add CarPlay in the next update. If they ever do an update.
