I was really happy with this app, but since yesterday I cannot use it on portrait mode. It keeps disconnecting. I received a message saying that there is a bug and to contact the developer. I uninstalled it and reinstalled again and still not working on portrait mode. Please fix this bug cause I really liked the app. If no portrait mode, no point in using it at all.

The description of this app is very deceiving. I bought this to use in my car instead of Android Auto. This DOES NOT WORK on my car navigation. It doesn't even show up on the Navigation screen. It should be stated in the description when they say "In Car" , they mean using your phone in the car to use this app on the phone not to work on the Car Navigation. Also my battery drains quickly since I downloaded the app.

Purchased to Pro version which allows for customization. Would love to be able to utilize full Navigation by defining a destination and have the inset navigation map show turn by turn directions etc as Google Navigation does. An alternate solution would be to have a widget which had that functionality, but I have not found such a widget.

I like this app very much. I drive for a living and want a horizontally positioned platform for my device. I've tried many car dock apps and this one is by far the best. My favorite thing about it is the way I can customize it any way I want. Plenty of built in templates and widgets as well as being able to use the ones already loaded on my devise. worth the 3 bucks many times over. Well done to the developers!

I downloaded this app, paid for the Pro version, then set up two themes. Once I plugged my phone into my car's Android Auto jack my car did not recognize the App. However, this App locked up my phone and I had to turn my phone off in order to regain control of my phone. I hate it when you have to purchase Apps before you get to try them. I want my money back.

Very poor music player integration support. If you have a favorite player APP, it likely WILL NOT integrate into the home interface. Also, one of the included themes doesn't even function correctly. It's impossible to flip the music/NAV panel back from NAV so it's a useless function. Now for the worst Con of all, The theme backup and restore function is COMPLETELY useless as the launcher can't access storage even though permission is allowed.

Great app but has recently started crashing on Android 8.0 car android head unit....before the last major update it was perfect. App starts on Android 8.0 but after 8-9 or so minutes, it stops and must be restarted. UPDATE: Through trials it appears the issue with Android 8.0 may only be with the "Leather" theme. The freezing/crashing has stopped after migrating away from that specific theme. I REALLY LOVE the leather theme and hope an update will repair it. Great app. Only 1 launcher running

I've absolutely loved using this app for my android headunit, but I've been having this terrible issue since the last update: Any time I start my headunit and start playing a song, it plays the song just fine, but then the next song it plays is song after the actual next song in the queue. It works just fine after that first instance, but it does it all over again after every startup. Would I be able to reach the developer?

This is the best Car Launcher I have found to date. The ability to customize the screens, widget locations and size are amazing! I was the guy that wrote the DigitalFX skin for RoadRunner back in the day, and this is the closest that I have gotten to a CarPC customizability. Couple things in the wish list: More widgets, a bar style equalizer with adjustable transparency (The oscilloscope style one included really isn't that great, sorry) Lastly, you NEED to make a portrait layout option. I have to use an app to force portrait mode to trick this launcher to display vertically on the screen. All newer tablet installs in cars, both factory and custom, have gone to the portrait layout.

great app. easy to use. well worth the 5 bucks for the full version. When can we expect to see updates to the app to allow for different visualizer... kinda like Spectrolizer as far as fluidity and response to music output??? Otherwise, freakin' awesome app. Just started playing with creating my own setup and must say, once you figure it out, the results are amazing.

Not bad, but could be better. I like that it displays navigation in the app, but our route doesnt show on the map. Is there a way to display other apps in car launcher, similar to spotify, Google maps? In theme editor how do you adjust the layer of a widget? How do I change add custom icons for things like microphone or volume? I've seen other launchers that allow volume control over other apps, can you implement that? Apps got a lot of potential, but it's just not there yet.

Been looking for a better launcher than what came with my Xtrons radio. I do like the look and layout of this so much better. However, it has some flaws. I wish there was a way to lock things, as stated by a prior review. I have already found myself triggering changes when I mean to open an app or setting. Many of the default apps were hidden and when choosing to display all apps it isn't very easy to find the one I need. Android Auto, Radio, Torque and a few others all hidden by default.

I've been using this for my Joying head unit in a Mitsubishi Lancer for a few months now, and I love it! I wouldn't use it for phone at all, but only for an Android head unit. There is a learning curve for customization, but think if I really sat down and messed with it a bit longer it would be everything I need. However, as of now I'm very happy with the simplistic look and easy to use interface(once it has been customized).

so much better than the interface my radio came with, better than android auto. customized it so it does pretty much everything I want. still seem to be figuring out things it can do. can be a bit confusing and a few things i can't figure out, seems like I should be able to change the colors of the text for individually components but have only been able to change the color of certain areas with one option and the other areas with another option but since it still looks nice it's not a big deal.

I really like this launcher. My biggest issue, is when I have maps displayed in one of the windows on my home screen, it just shows a very blurry and out of focus navigation window. It'll clear up when I stop, then get blurry again when I start driving again. If that could be fixed it would get a 5 star rating. Please look into it.

Easy enough to set up once you figure it out... but not all android widgets (system widgets) work. There isn't an easy way to integrate navigation into the home screen and there's no way to get user apps to show notifications (like dots when you have a message, etc...) Would also be nice if you could integrate hands free mode behind the scenes. Overall a good app and worth the $5.99.

I really like the customization of the app. Took me awhile to figure out but I got it now. The cons are that they could use way more widgets. Things like RPM gauge and other items that go through the computer on the vehicle that they could do. Just feel there are several features in the app that they could add to make it better. Also, the player doesn’t play on the Home Screen. You have to have it on the players. I’d like to see my Home Screen and be able to change songs and what not on it there. Also, not sure if it’s this interface but my radio volume starts at level 15 when first started. At 5am early in the morning with a big system that blast is shocking. Dont know how to adjust that. I feel they spend time adjusting the few things they have and saving it for new themes but I’d prefer more things so I can customize my own theme. Put what I want on there. Maybe more pictures or what not instead of just one I upload. Overall it’s good for the price but I’d like them to do some more with it.

Decent App, better than what's default on my aftermarket system. It is highly customizable to fit your wants and I would probably recommend. That being said there are a ton of bugs that come along with it. 1. Sometimes after connecting bluetooth to play music it just won't let you unless you have an internet connection. I've downloaded songs and since having this app they won't play. 2. The navigation integration is horrible. 3. The Screensaver is a cool feature but it glitches around.

After reading the reviews, I thought I'd give this a shot. Unfortunately, this app, even when paired with Bluetooth to my phone using Android Auto, has no way for you to actually use the phone to make a phone call. Extremely disappointing and makes it almost unusable. Next, I want to set the display to automatically adjust brightness, the minute I clicked automatically adjust, it went to black. This appears to be an unrecoverable bug, making the app 100% unusable. Extremely disappointing.

I bought this app because it looks great, but apparently WAZE isn't one of the 2 navigation apps it will let you use. Please fix this. This could be a great app if it was fully integrated into the apps most people use. Deleted the App and reinstalled to clear the issue with onscreen display. **Updated** this to a 3-star. Internet Radio (MyTuner) works great with this, but why won't google maps give you any functionality like putting in an address. It just shows your position on the map.
