### 1/5 — No option for use your own API key

*2026-02-27*

The description says there is a $4.99 use your own API key option. I can’t find it. Too bad.

### 5/5 — You just saved me months of effort!

*2025-07-19*

I quickly tested this app without subscribing via CarPlay in my EV and was simply blown away. Yes, there are some rough edges, and as the product is still in version one, your abilities are impressive! The brainstorming session was beyond powerful. Your ability to do research while interacting with me is beyond all expectations.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-01-07*

This app is great. Multiplies the value of CarPlay in my new car. I drive a lot of long distance trips, and I’ve had some amazingly natural conversations with Tom. Worth every penny of the subscription.

### 4/5 — Great Concept idea

*2024-10-16*

This app provides insight to the future of AI while on the go !! Excellent , I’m very impressed as I’ve been looking for something like this for several years and to see this is finally out , is great. I’m a tech part person so I do have a bit of criticalness regarding some bugs and performance, but overall as an early adopter , very satisfied, and hope it only gets better

### 5/5 — Great Multi-Functioning App!

*2023-10-26*

easy to use, great while driving. the translation feature is impressive. and the graphics are cute!

### 5/5 — Friendly AI chatbot

*2023-10-12*

Used this app in the car and on the phone.  Both voice and text. Enjoyed having conversations with Tom on random topics. 

Even got into a philosophical topic, Tom was able to connect concepts from two different thinkers and it felt like a human conversation. Brainstorm is a neat feature, where two different bots chime in and you can set specific goals and how much time you have to brainstorm. Will continue to use this. Fun AI app!
