[2011-11-19] Glenn: Screen Rotate not working with Android 2.3 on TB I love this app. However, when my HTC Thunderbolt was updated to Android 2.3, the widget stopped Auto Rotating when the screen orientation changes. Any news on a fix for this or is there a setting I'm missing? |

[2011-11-18] PPgreece: Good app Needs more shortcuts on the widget, 6 is not enough. |

[2011-11-10] Jeroen: Enable GPS and close on disconnect I use this app frequently and have to say it is working great. Would love to see two extra features added: the first (and imo the most important) is to be able to enable/disable GPS on switching car mode. The second is that is will disable car mode on disconnecting charger. Again very nice and useful app. |

[2011-11-03] anod: Work good for me Thomas, Try to enable built-in car mode. |

[2011-11-02] Thomas: OK but a bit buggy I mainly got this to get larger icons for one touch dialing and it works fine for that. I got the pro version so it could be set to automatically turn on when it connects with the Bluetooth in the car. The indicator goes on so that apparently works but what does that get you? Doesn’t go to the home screen the widget is on, OK not a big deal but the thing that’s bugging me is the dimming feature doesn’t work. Anyone know how to fix that? The “developer web site” goes to a Facebook page |
