Just a very basic audio player for Android Auto. I purchased AAAD for Android Auto which promises ON ITS OFFICIAL SITE (not Google Play) to play videos on Android Auto. The developer lies about this! AAAD plays only the audio part of video files. Why should someone instiall a video app if that app only plays the audio part? Hence, there's no need to purchase AAAD. Fermata can be installed without AAAD. It won't list the video files. But that doesn't matter if AAAD can only play audio.

Apparently I misunderstood what this app is actually for. I thought it would project video to the car's head unit. For me that has not been the case. It's not a total loss because my donation on the website lets me download other apps that may project audio and video to through Android auto.
