## What is Passenger Seat?

The road has a story. Ride along.

Passenger Seat is a hands-free travel companion for the car. Set your phone down and drive, it reads out the history, landmarks, and towns you'd otherwise pass right by, then pauses on its own the moment you park and picks back up when you go. You never touch the screen.

• Live mode: turn it on, set your phone down, and let the world narrate itself as you drive.
• What Was That?! Curious about something you just passed? Ask, and it tells you.
• Choose your voice and story style - from deep history to quick local context.
• Plan a Trip: Get the stories along your whole route before you leave.
• Find Things Near Me: Discover what's worth knowing right where you are.

Free to start: 100 discoveries on us, plus your first trips. Then keep going free every day, or go Plus for unlimited.

Passenger Seat turns an ordinary commute or a long road trip into something you actually look forward to.

### 5/5 — Road Trip Essential!

*2026-08-11*

Me and my husband used this today on a road trip in an area we were relatively unfamiliar with and found it to be super cool when the app periodically chimed in with interesting info about our surroundings. We found the default settings to be pretty balanced, but you can dial up or down the frequency that you hear about the stuff you’re driving past. Definitely looking forward to driving around with this thing on in the future and maybe even just around the town I live in and see what I learn.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-18

Happening Nearby: when Live enters a new city, Passenger Seat looks up real events happening there over the next few days and reads a short heads-up after the current story, with links in the card. Choose how far ahead it looks in Settings.

Voice Attitude: pick Straight, Playful, Sarcastic, or Savage in Settings under Story Style. The facts stay the same; the tone changes.

The lock screen card once again shows when the next story is coming.

Also in this version: Live stays steady after leaving the screen mid-cooldown, location callouts are more natural, narration avoids repeated or uncertain positioning, privacy and account controls are clearer, trial users can schedule a renewal reminder, and audio storage and account cleanup are more secure.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-14

Live is more honest about what it is doing while you drive.

The progress messages now tell you where things actually stand, and the reading screen waits until the voice is truly ready instead of saying it is reading before anything plays.

The stay tuned reminder bows out after a few listens rather than repeating all trip.

Fixed: highway names are spoken the way you say them, so I-15 is no longer read as Interstate One Fifteen.

Fixed: a faint white line along the right edge of the app icon.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-04

Your lock screen now shows what Passenger Seat is reading.

Start Live and a card appears on your lock screen with the story that is playing, so you can see what you are hearing without unlocking. Tap once to rate it, or get directions to the place it just told you about.

The reading screen is rebuilt. It shows the story's location on a map, how far away it is and which side of the road, and follows along as the narration plays.

You can now share a route from Maps straight into Passenger Seat and plan a trip from it.

Fixed: Live no longer tells you that you have used up your discoveries when you have not.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-23
