Reviews for Car dashdroid-Car infotainment

I purchase the premium version of this app in March of 2015 and it has always worked great no matter which of the multiple phones it was installed it on. I went to install it on my new company LG phone the other day and it wont allow me to use the premium version/restore purchase version! Please help me fix this and I will fix my review!!

This app can not recognise names. I called out 2 different names in my phone book and it pronounced the first one correctly, but gave it a different spelling, therefore could not find it. The second one was an African name and the app couldn't even comprehend it. Not for me.

I use this daily during my commute to work, just makes it easy to call people if needed and launch the sat nav. Looked into going add free but £5.00 a month is a joke! I know that developing an app is time consuming but a monthly subscription is one step too far this time.

Great app. Just lacks one thing for me. In the music section there isn't a selection for organizing by Artist. I listen to entire albums by artists. On top of that, if I have to search for an album title while driving, it becomes dangerous to drive. So to have a choice to choose alphabetically arranged by artist would earn a 5th star from me.

OVERALL, a VERY GOOD app with an attractive, but still simple-to-use UI. Easy and Quick set-up process. EDIT 12/28/19:: Now includes SMS "read" option which is another nice convenience. Still no MessengerLite yet, but FB is the Devil, anyway....lol. STILL would like to see a larger compass and/or directional stats to round out the home screen. Very Nice Work!!!!

Some of the feature can't operate properly. Mainly on speedometer. Initially is OK. After sometime it suddenly not moving. Same goes to day & night mode. Sometimes it doesn't work accordance to the period. Phone book also another issue. If phone book can't show contact person name, what is the purpose

Absolute garbage. First the good: It looks good. The music player works. The bad: Besides the music player, this app doesn't integrate with the car. Hands free calling? Not functional. Navigation? Not functional. Voice commands? Not functional. I bought a 1 year subscription to not see ads based upon what was good. What's bad makes this app garbage. Don't get sucked in. 1/9/2023 Nothing has changed. The only thing good about this app is its appearance. Literally nothing in it works.

I have the premium version. I like this app but it would be nice if the widgets were more configurable e.g. I don't need to see the weather or the date and time etc. Instead it would be nice to have larger music player controls or perhaps a more sophisticated compass. Otherwise it does just fine for me .

App has been great for me these past few months. Truly a great car home screen. However, the latest update appears to be killing waze when I try to launch it, even from my normal launcher. This is a deal breaker. Please fix this problem or I will have to uninstall, and I'd really rather not. I've searched for a useful car home screen like this for so long and was so happy when this worked perfectly.

Just another car mode but even less functionality than other apps that need to be unlocked by buying the full version, plus there are some some poor English messages in some places and even though Waze is set as the default navigation app I still have to use the built-in Google Maps looking module to search for places.

This is just a launcher, nothing more. There is no Android Auto -like integration with apps or anything, it's just a more car friendly launcher, that launches your not-so car friendly apps. It would be fine, was it not for the obscene subscriptions, just so you can launch your music player or map app. A single purge would have been fine, but this is ridiculous.

Paid for premium a few years ago, now wants me to pay extra subscription. No thanks. Used to be perfect, now the app will not automatically launch when phone connects to car bluetooth, app icons won't load and show as generic green android robot icons and the home button no longer takes you to app home screen when in use, takes you to the phone home screen. Tried to contact the developer on several occasions without luck, you'll notice the dev hasn't responded to any reviews, tells you a lot.

The in-app navigation just doesn't work. I can not look up an address because it keeps buffering, and does not allow me to set a home/work address at all. Changing the default app in the settings did nothing and using a custom app i have to pay for premium (which IS a subscription). Hope this gets fixed otherwise the app's nice but utterly useless. But last update was more than a year ago so I'm sceptical.

Unhappy that, despite paying for no ads, I regularly have to shut down the app and clear the cache to stop ads from showing. Sometimes even that doesn't work. Revised - still having the same issue with one specific ad (AutoZen:Drive Smarter), and nothing I do clears it. I am looking into other options.

Used to be a fantastic app. Then I updated my phone to android 10. This has meant that the app now does not automatically connect to the car with Bluetooth connection. To add insult to injury, I uninstalled the app which I had fully paid for and unlocked, then I reinstalled and tried to reactivate my subscription. I was then presented with a screen telling me that I need to have a monthly subscription.... NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!!

I was looking for an Android Auto for phones replacement. This app is okay. Definitely usable but has some limitations. As another reviewer said, it does not allow you to put in your address or work address even though it asks for them in the settings. You cannot customize the tabs on the first screen so I pretty much just use screen two where I can put tabs for what I use like Pandora, Spotify and Waze. I would pay a flat fee for the premium features, but not reoccurring fees they ask for.

Do not sign up for the pro trial unless uou can remember to cancel it if uiu do not want to pay. There is no reminder to let you know that the trial is about to expire. But other than that its not a bad app, could use some improvements though. The auto text doesnt work for me, which is the main thing I was looking for. So without that, the app is pretty much useless for me.

I purchased this a long time ago, and it had been fine up until recently. Now, I get ads on the bottom when initially opened, forcing me to close and reopen the app to get it back to normal. Today, I loaded it and got redirected to a shady website via a pop-up. Needless to say, it's uninstalled now. If I purchase something, I don't expect ads and security issues.

I recently installed an android 6.0 double din head unit in my F150. To my dismay it did not offer voice dialing with the included app. I tried several other apps that claimed to work for that function but all were just and extension of Google Voice which would not work on this unit I bought. Car Dashdroid made voice dialing possible. I paid for the pro version. It could use better documentation on the music player. It also stopped auto starting when I changed my phone so I have to manually start it every time.

My experience is it does what it says. One bug is if I go into navigation, and then back out to get to the launcher screen, it wait a few seconds and then goes back into navigation. (Update) It now continually flashes very distracting ads along the bottom. I thought "no ads" was part of what I paid for? I'll be looking for a replacement.
