My new favourite maps app!
Pelican is amazing. Everything you’d want for driving in an app that is easy to use. Not to mention the mapped speed cameras & vehicle parameter widgets! I love being able to see my car’s info, tyre pressures, engine temps, my current route, and the music I’m currently playing, all on the same screen without having to interact with anything whilst driving. Very excited to see what’s coming in future updates to this app!

Something happened with this most recent update
Used this app daily since January 2026 and have had no problems until the week of September 26. This major update wiped all my widgets and will no longer connect/read data with the Vgate iCar Pro 2S I bought specifically to use with this app in January. Zero problems with it until recently. This actually almost made me buy a new scanner, but no other scanning apps have any issues. I couldn’t tell if it was my new 18 pro or ios27 or the app or the scanner, but since no other apps are having issues I’m landing on it being this app. I was disappointed after investigating further on GitHub that there’s Claude involved in this project. Not sure when that was added but I’m sure isn’t helping. There’s nothing wrong with using Claude but even paying for Pelican plus and getting to my age, I’m tired of tinkering with stuff. I just want it to work like it did for 9 months without issue. So, I’m uninstalling and canceling my subscription until it “just works”. Great app otherwise I just wish the widgets and connection to my scanner stayed

Hi! Please reach out to me either through the feedback page in Pelican’s Settings tab or through support@clutch.engineering so I can help you out! I can’t do much through the App Store review comments unfortunately other than reply to you ❤️
Powerful and intuitive, straightforward but extremely capable
Note: you’ll need an OBD2 scanner to get the vast majority of features from this app. It’s a worthwhile investment and they’re pretty cheap nowadays. The developer’s website has a great list of options. If you don’t have a scanner and leave a poor review that’s completely on you for failing basic reading comprehension and no sympathy will be given.
This app is essentially the platonic ideal of what a CarPlay app could be. The navigation capabilities are top notch, and the integration with OpenStreetMaps makes me feel good about contributing corrections or new information. I especially appreciate the new surveillance overlay that shows speed/ALPR cameras, right on the app.
New features keep coming out that I didn’t know I’d love (I wouldn’t have ever thought of The Fog but now I can’t go without it!) without making the app’s settings busy or confusing. I’ve never spent a chunk of money on a lifetime premium license before but have done so here and am happy to support the developer and I consider it money well spent.
The built-in feedback submission capabilities makes it super easy to make suggestions and is so much better than sending an email out into the void and hoping something gets fixed one day. The developer is responsive to an almost unhealthy degree and I hope they have a sustainable work/life balance!

The best all-around map and car scanner on the market. Being able to monitor your car all through car play while having a fully customized interface and map is awesome!
What happened? Most Widgets yanked from Carplay.
Not cool paying for a subscription and then without warning lose functionality after latest app update. No reason stated other than saying some ( really many ) widgets are no longer available on carplay. After I finally got my gauge cluster set up with widgets and parameters I updated the app this morning and then all but like 3 widgets total ( range, status and compass ) are now available in carplay. All the rest including many available parameters are only available on your phone now. Please bring back all the widgets and parameters that were originally available on carplay when I started to subscribe.
