App Review Summary
The Good, the Bad, and the Tech-Savvy ๐ข
The Good:
- ๐ "Finally an app that works!" โ Many folks are ecstatic that the app helps them get Android Auto running on their head units. Waze, Maps, and other functionalities are working smoothly.
- ๐ "Rock solid once configured" โ Users appreciate the reliability of the app once they manage to set it up, working seamlessly in wired and self-mode.
- ๐ป "DIY Wizards Rejoice!" โ Tech aficionados have a blast setting up intricate connections and custom scripts to make their old phones serve as dedicated Android Auto head units. ๐งโโ๏ธ
The Bad:
- ๐ "Permission Issues" โ The app keeps forgetting microphone permissions, making users jump through hoops every time they want to use it. ๐ค (or lack thereof).
- ๐ญ "Screen Not Fit" โ Some users had their screens only fill up about 70-80%, turning navigation into a guessing game.
- ๐ฉ "Tech Hassles" โ Creating hotspots, hunting down bugs, and dealing with glitchy connections make some users feel like theyโre starring in their own tech-support horror movie.
The Ugly:
- ๐ "Black Screen of Meh" โ A few were rewarded with nothing but a black screen and a malfunctioning phone, even on newer models like the Samsung S24 Ultra.
- ๐ "Latest Update Woes" โ Recent update bugs rendered backup cameras useless, requiring users to perform unplug-replug rituals.
- ๐ "Volume Gremlins" โ Audio fluctuations and the auto interface switching to a normal dialer mid-call are driving users bonkers. ๐ถ๐ป
- ๐คทโโ๏ธ "Zero Response from Support" โ Two days and still no reply from the developer, leaving users stranded.
Fun Tidbits:
- ๐ "App Loading Dance" โ Some need to open the app multiple times just to get it running. It's like playing duck, duck, goose... with an app! ๐ฆ
- ๐ฑ "Phone Gymnastics" โ Users trying umpteen settings to get their phones to talk to their head units, reminds us of an unsolvable Rubik's cube.
- ๐ฅณ "Family Feud" โ One reviewer ditched the app entirely in favor of a split-screen tablet setup to keep the family peace in an iOS-taken car. ๐
Final Verdict:
While the app has its fans, enjoying its features and stability (once properly configured), others are left puzzled, frustrated, and texting "support, where art thou?". Consider this app if you're tech-savvy and enjoy tinkering. Otherwise, you might want to steer clear or brace yourself for some repetitive settings gymnastics and mild rage quits. ๐พ
