## What is Michika?

Free to drive with Shinano. Michika brings a character and her voice to navigation on iPhone and CarPlay.

FREE NAVIGATION
Classic Shinano rides beside Apple Maps and calls out turns using recorded guidance. Free includes one voice per language: Playful in English, Yasashii in Japanese, 温柔 in Chinese and Bright in Korean. Recorded Free guidance does not speak road names.

TRY PRO
New accounts get 3 days or 30 completed trips of Pro, whichever ends first. No card is needed and there is nothing to cancel. When the trial ends, keep driving with Free.

MORE CHARACTERS WITH PRO
Choose Shinano, Asmodeus, Lzebul or Milltina, with outfits, colourways and voices, plus the online character library. Hear street names in her live voice and use traffic-aware routing and expanded search. Choose monthly or yearly billing; both include the same features. You can test voice samples before subscribing.

MADE FOR IPHONE AND CARPLAY
Use Michika on your phone or on a wired or wireless CarPlay display. Guidance is available in English, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified display), Japanese and Korean. Conversation is not available yet. Existing Max subscribers keep their benefits and will receive conversation when it launches; they can choose Pro through Apple's subscription settings.

YOUR ACCOUNT
Sign in with Apple. Delete your account and its data from inside the app. See our privacy policy for the data used to provide and improve Michika.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
Pro is optional. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. The trial is granted by Michika, not an App Store introductory offer.

Requires iOS 26 or later. Routes and arrival times are estimates. Follow road signs, closures and local laws; stay attentive while driving.

### 5/5 — Greta app

*2026-10-19*

Still has a few minor things to fix but I love it already and it’s very nice to have a different map

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-10-15*

Good idea but doesn’t even have option to switch from kmh to miles. Also never saves my character reposition when I set it

**Developer response:** Miles is now live! I’ll look into the character reposition. Did you click save at the bottom left after adjusting?

### 2/5 — 課金必須

*2026-10-10*

音声はAIなのでイントネーションに違和感感じる人は厳しいかも 画面に半分弱女の子で占有されるので視認性は悪いと思いました
