User Reviews

User feedback is largely negative due to persistent connectivity failures. Many reviews report the app won connect or work with a range of cars and iOS devices, with noted compatibility and update issues. While reviewers see the concept as promising and potentially replacing CarPlay for some cars, the lack of reliability and updates dominates, indicating a need for major fixes and ongoing maintenance.

Pros

Shows potential to replace CarPlay for cars that dont support CarPlay.
Described as a cool and promising concept if it worked.
Signals there is demand for an alternative infotainment connectivity solution.

Cons

Wont connect / doesnt work across many cars and devices.
Compatibility issues with various car models and iOS versions (e.g., FJ Cruiser, Rav4, VXR) and iPhone/iOS updates.
Not updated for ages / appears stagnant.
Bluetooth connection errors or messages that disappear; unstable connections.
Works on initial setup but fails to maintain connection afterward.

Recent reviews

Was really hoping that this app would be able to replace CarPlay offered by Apple since our car doesn’t support Apple. Sadly I just cannot get the app to connect 😭
