Requires iOS 15.2 for iPad Pro
Response from developer
Hey, Next requires a minimum iOS version of 15.2 to work. This is a 4 year old iOS version at this point. I am afraid I can’t do much as the app takes use of APIs which are only available in iOS 15.2 or greater.
Not good for phones
There’s also no clear user guidelines, or “help” section so I also am unsure how to change the doc layout however it’s stated within the app that you can change and customise it but no option to access that.
I also purchased the plus membership and there was no difference no upgrades, completely the same as the free version.
Definitely don’t recommend this app. Not great as a car dashboard app.
There is also no customer support, or access to any contacts to help with issues.

Hey sorry to hear you didn’t like the app, but you can connect with on twitter @sachineleven. The link for it is on the main settings page. Regarding Pro version not having extra features- we give users full access to the app and all its features in its free trial, that’s why it’s called a ‘Free trial’ and not ‘Limited access trial’. The customer support url is present on main settings page. There is even a chat option in Next community section where you can ask your questions.
Fuel price should be keyboard input, not slider. Inaccurate landmarks.
Another problem is the app missed out several landmarks while pinning bogus locations. For instance, when I choose to search for gas stations near me, it misses out at least 2 gas stations which are located right beside the national highway, while marking strange empty areas as gas stations.
A suggestion that I think would make this app very nice is to allow user to select different music sources, rather than just “Spotify or Apple Music”. For instance, I would like to see YT music or Radio Garden being an option in here. Though lacking it wouldn’t decrease my app experience too much.
Aside from that, I find the app to be easy to get used to, and it’s a great app to modernize my car without having to buy a new head unit with Carplay.

Hey, thanks for the review. I have tried to answer your questions below- #1 I will fix the issue with slider in the very next update. #2 The app gets nearby gas station information from Apple Maps, so if you are missing results, it’s probably not in Apple’s system. #3 I will need to see if YT music or Radio Garden provide any third party APIs through which they can connect to the Next app. Apple Music in Spotify do have API support that’s why they their support is present and Tidal for example does not have any third-party API support, so it’s not supported.
Amazing App
Functional and aesthetic, worth every penny
Those complaining about the free version not being fully functional clearly have never used premium apps. Unless you want a bunch of ads plastered over the screen (aside from being stupid ugly this would affect driving experience too), having a paid app is the only way to make a highly functional and visually aesthetic app -nothing new here.
To those complaining about simple fixes like changing it to mph from kph, perhaps try simply googling or at bare minimum try toggling settings before writing a review. It really is not that difficult to work through this app - most changes can be done in two taps
Anyhow, great app would buy/subscribe again
