Description
Been using Back Seat Navigator for a couple months now. It’s basically a sassy navigation app that’ll curse you out and make fun of you while trying to get you to your destination. Pretty solid app if you’re into that kinda thing.
Here’s what you do: you plug in your destination and it’ll give you turn-by-turn directions – but with a twist. There’s also different profanity and insult settings, so you can choose how much tough love you wanna get. And the night/day modes are a nice touch.
Look, if you’re the type who enjoys a little tough love from your GPS, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the voice gets old after a while – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want a more…colorful navigation experience.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Back Seat Navigator. I've tested a bunch of navigation apps and this one's definitely the most hilariously rude one I've come across. The snarky voice and constant jabs can be pretty entertaining at first, but it does get old after a while. That said, the directions are actually pretty solid and the app gets you where you need to go. If you want a break from the typical robotic voice, this is a fun option.
