Started the app. Loved it the first five minutes of it (was setting it up as I was getting out of my car) so excited to use it tomorrow.. HARD crashed my phone, black screen, tiny red letters saying your phone has crashed and needs a hard reset. Lost everything.... Years of photos etc... So now I'm soo smart imma try again just wanted to let y'all know how it went the first time 🙄 already reset once if it does it again I'm throwing my phone in the canal. This is my old phone, just wanted music

Very restricted customization. I'd like to have the music player on the left side and maps on the right side. also volume up, down and mute buttons on the dock. there should also be ability to hide apps in the app drawer. the time and weather should able to not be locked to the lower right hand side.

Decent launcher when I tried it, but there is a lot missing. First, it only has landscape mode, so for vehicles with a large screen in portrait mode, this is not going to work. Next, the interface is minimalist, runs smoothly, and works well, but there's no option to choose anything other than Google maps for navigation. It also doesn't have a lot of customization or features, such as adding your own widgets or editing the apps shown on the quick launch. Needs a lot more features to be complete

Doesnt connect on the phone. It keeps asking for storage access but all permissions are already allowed. On top of that, its an extremely obsolete display for the car. I wish I could share picture of how awful it is and how you can't personalize anything except the background.

Best launcher I have seen. I have a couple of suggestions if you would like to hear them. I was hoping a scroll up to access all the apps from the home screen. When a song is playing and I hit the music app, it takes me to the main page instead of the current song. Other than that I think it's perfect. 10/10

Really liking this launcher - it feels like the right direction compared to many others. However the split screen view with the map uses 80 - 90% CPU on my PX6 and so crashes after about an hour when driving as the unit overheats. If you can customise the standard view more, i.e. remove or add tiles that would be great. Or the split screen, change the map view for something else.

Excellent work on the team designing the interface, looks great with the side-by-side Map and music cards. I hope the Spotify on my iPhone can control the Spotify app on the Dash in the future. The two apps are not in sync and I cannot use the phone to control the songs on the Spotify app on the dash board. I am using BT now without the song title and forward/backward capability.

Looks absolutely beautiful. Really happy to finally see a modern looking car launcher. Had a ton of tech issues. Couldn't connect to make an account. Map doesn't load on the launcher. When I click the Spotify button to slect that as the music source, it doesn't even recognize my click. I'll definitely revisit this app in the future, but for now I'll be trying to recreate it's layout in a different launcher.

I've used this launcher for about 1 month so far in my car. The interface looks VERY nice and modern. They updated the refresh rate in the map, but wish it could be more fluent, also wish you could have directions show with the map instead of opening up Google maps. For some reason this app shows a low rating, but I honestly think this should be much higher. Alot nicer then many of the other car launchers I've tried out.

I like this launcher so far. The design is sophisticated. I think this is the best design car launcher of all. But, there are 2 things I don't like. 1. I like the design of the Classic dash board, but the display of the media player on it is too big. It should be smaller. I'd rather be able to place more app icons or widgets on the dashboard. 2. Since my car is right handed, I'm appreciate if I could move the navigation display to the right side. Other than that, this car launcher is great!

After researching all the different car launchers for Android head units, this one is -- far and away -- the best one. It's super clean and has very good media integration with all my different apps. Looking forward to future updates! The map on the left side of the standard view is good, but sometimes it takes a while to load the maps as I'm driving. Would like to see in future updates more integration with google maps navigation via the map on the home screen. Please keep developing!

The best car launcher that I found. I like the modular screen theme. A few more things: have a slider to make the modules more transparent so I see more of my custom background through the modules. Have an option to turn off the descriptive text on each module (speed, weather, etc.) so it will look cleaner. Add option in the small version of music player module to skip album.

I am using this on a Dasaita head unit that came loaded with the Max10 software. I upgraded to the vivid10 software which is much cleaner and modern looking. The ability to open a specific music app when the media button is pressed is a major upgrade for me. A con for me is not being able to remove certain cards or widgets from the home screen. Also, i would like the ability to display a standard image of my vehicle when that option is chosen instead of a stock bmw image.

It's perfect except it's missing 1 key feature for a tablet: the ability to go into sleep mode when not being charged (and turning back on when charged), or even able to turn it's screen off. When that's enabled I will switch back to it for my retrofit car. Right now a competitor's product has these KEY features.

Using this on a Dasaita head unit. So far it's great. I do have a few bugs however. Play store when I click search and start typing it crashes. If I browse the store it's fine. Also the Google maps widget doesn't live update for turn by turn navigation for some odd reason but will show directions and est time. I would need to click it to open up full Google maps. Few other bugs but can't wait to see what devs do with this and hopefully more updates to fix bugs.

This is THE BEST headunit integration I've seen so far for Android systems. I'm running this on an RSNAV headunit that is a special build for Audis. Still working to get some more music players as options in the home page widget. But just love the layout and structured simplicity you need when driving a car and not be distracted with unnecessary touch points. I also tried the "Card Layout" but miss more customization option there - i.e. standard app widgets being pulled in.

The layout is good stuff. The problem is it requires location all the time, even when I'm not using it or driving and the battery usage is insane. I used it for a 10 minute drive and it has used the most battery than any other app by 2x. A "light" version that mimicked Android Auto and shut down when not in use would be perfect.
