Not working

To the developer: Spotify error can't load content. Maps error can't load location. Anyway of getting a refund? Thank you for trying but this app will not work for me. Supposed to make things easier to use not harder. Without these features it's not usable.

Great app, ruined by Always Active location setting

Great app, ruined by Always Active location setting

Always active location tracking is a deal breaker for IOS. I don't know if you expect to sell our location data in Addition to the cost of the app but this is B S. There needs to be a way to toggle "Only While Using". Even Google Maps, GOOGLE MAPS allows for "Only While Using". Why should I use my data and battery while you track me for no reason?

Very good

Love the app! It has very good map and music integration the ui is clean, easy to navigate, and attractive. I'm giving four stars only because it has to missing features that are important to most drivers, landscape mode which most people use when driving, and a night mode that uses a dark ui so the phone screen does not blind you at night (for safety reasons). If these features are implemented, I will change my rating to five stars. Good job guys!

Please please please add landscape mode

When I ride my motorcycle my mount is sideways and having this not allow landscape mode was a huge disappointment. Can you please integrate the ability to do landscape??

No horizontal view

Can't use it as no horizontal option and I can't use my phone in portrait in my car so has been a waste of money for me. Also does not integrate with tomtom uk maps, only us

Poor

The concept is a great idea. Because it cannot be customised I have found it a complete waste of money. It may work for the US market but a big NO in the UK

Nice, but room for improvement

Interface is beautiful and perfect for use in a car. Lack of landscape orientation support and only a few limited apps can be added significantly limit usefulness of this app.

Great Idea but has technical problems

Amazing app, but I am noticing that the App crashes every time I open Spotify and try to play a song, making it impossible to play music with it. My Spotify recognizes that someone is trying to play a song, Spotify-PC pauses but it does not start playing on iPhone. If needed I may help to solve the issue replicating it, just get in touch. Thank you.

Much Left to Perfect

The app's marketing is beautiful, but wish the app matched. You currently can't use the app with your phone in horizontal orientation, which is the most common way I use GPS app's. The map app is hard to use. Waze exaggerates their UI but its much more glancable. I find myself squinting at the Open Road Map a lot.

App works mostly

But there are issues with the Spotify native applet. Playback does not support transition or gapless playback. Also for some mysterious reason playback stops intermittently at the end of a single song in a playlist. The app also seems to have a few issues on the iTunes side insisting that songs are not downloaded locally and are unable to playback even though the songs in question are indeed loaded locally. A bit of a steep price for a broken app I think. Hopefully the devs will fix these issues as I really do like the design.

Don't waste your time or your $10!

Did I just pay $10 for an app that has ads? The four and five star reviews on here must be bogus because the only thing this app has going for it is a decent UI. It hung once and crashed once within just the first 10 minutes. Every option you try to select pops up an add and/or option to purchase additional in-app features. For 10 bucks, I expect to get some features included. The music player fights with Apple Music, screws with the interface to my car (a 2015 Infiniti) and cuts in and out for no apparent reason. (The iPhone works fine on it's own.) Map apps open outside of the UI, which negates the purpose altogether. This app is nowhere near good enough for primetime.

Driving command center

Love it. Better than just an app launcher. Worth buying the pro features. The 3rd party integrations are great.

Solid app, great for customization

You shouldn't be using your phone all that much while driving, so building a custom dashboard in Open Road is to be desired. This app is great at providing only what you need from a phone while driving. Stay sharp!

Great for Version 1.0.0

Great app! Just needs a landscape mode, a night mode and a little tweaking to the music integration so that it will integrate with the iOS music library like Ecoute does.

Wow!

Intuitive, clean, and incredibly useful. Outstanding app. This is better than the system in my car.

Easy and convenient

The UI of my cars touch screen is terrible and this app helps me play my music and pull up navigation easily with better controls. The home/dashboard customization is a great touch too.

The best way to make use of your phone while driving

Love that the clear focus of this app is to make major functions of your phone easier while driving, lots of them with just one click.

Slick GUI

That opening video sequence, it almost looks like someone's real contacts....

Exceeded Expectations

For months I'd been hearing rumors that calling Kristin and turning on Park Av would be easier than ever. I can now freely loop Park to Colfax to 17th like a pro and Kristin always answers. Thanks guys. Everything I needed and more.
