[2013-01-25] A Google User: It Just Works I have a Galaxy SIII and the iBolt car mount. I jump in my car and dock into the mount, Car Dashboard pops up with no fuss. I can easily select the apps I want to run. Integration with my car is seamless. I have not experienced any issues with power or Bluetooth as others have noted. When I unplug from the car dock, it exits. If you set up the app right, it works like magic. The only thing holding me back from giving this excellent app 5 stars is that it puts my phone in "car mode" but not "driving mode" which is more an issue with the SIII than the app. So, I agree with upgrading the icons for high res phones but I tend to stay in my podcast or music or map app all the time so its not a big deal. BUT if you could make my SIII go into driving mode then you get 5 stars and $$. |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Good App Add a setting on this app so that the GPS will automatically turn on when app is opened and off when app of exited (like bluetooth). |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Best car home Best car home application. |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Great idea, but lacking use It only lets you select shortcuts, not apps. A severe disadvantage especially with only 4 boxes! |
|
[2012-12-25] A Google User: Voice Typing? Haven't used it yet, but looking through the settings, it'd be nice if the app could make voice typing the default keyboard. |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Not so good I gave it 2 stars because it looks like the screen shots. The missing 3 stars are for the following fails. Speed warning at 36 mph on the highway. Showed a contact but couldn't call that contact. Thermometer didn't show data. Limited items for shortcuts. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Worked Well Until Recently On my Google Nexus w/the latest version of Jelly Bean, it worked well until this last week, where it will just randomly flash on and off without the ability to turn it off, forcing me to hard reboot my phone. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing that, but hopefully it's an easy enough fix. Other than that, its a super useful and great app! |
|
[2012-12-17] A Google User: Good Its great app |
|
[2012-12-14] A Google User: GPS Problems After using for some time noticed problems with GPS. When used would kill GPS, and had to reboot the phone to to make it work again. Uninstalled, GPS works grate. |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: A Fine Replacement to the Standard App This app serves as a fine replacement for the standard Google app. Many people after the Ice Cream Sandwich update could no longer use an app to trick the phone into car (renamed "Vehicle") mode. Now all it takes is a cleverly created smart action + this app and you don't lose a minute of your time. |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: I *thought* it was a nice alternative... This is an update to a previous review I wrote. I still like the app overall, but I uninstalled it because it interfered with my handsfree Bluetooth connection to my car. When I received a call, I could answer it via the car's Bluetooth controls, but the audio did not come over the speakers. The same happened if I initiated a call either from the handset or using the car's Bluetooth controls. It didn't matter if Car Dashboard was actively running or not. Tried every app setting I could to get it to work. It would not. Uninstalled the app, and my phone's Bluetooth connection to the car is working like normal. Guess I will live with the default Android Car Dock because no others seems to fit the bill (at least not the free ones). |

[2012-10-23] A Google User: Update for tablets Ugly looking icons, please update, great app. Would love to buy the pro if the icons are updated |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: dim the lights Why can't there be a night mode? |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: I bought the paid version Keep up the good work |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: Low red app icons--Nexus 7 Works as advertised but I would love to have high res app icons. They look terrible on the nexus 7!!!!!!!! Also would be nice to have more buttons. Or an option to toggle between 4 app buttons and 6 buttons. |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: Perfect on my S3 with... Phone Weaver to force Car Mode since the S3 does not have a Car Mode (don't confuse it with Driving Mode) |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: useful i like the option to set the dashboards to my likng. |
|
[2012-09-03] A Google User: Boo This app somehow disabled my ability to use any widget that I downloaded after it. Simple fix: uninstall app. |
|
[2012-08-30] A Google User: Shortcuts limited I can only use some shortcuts. Very limited |
|
[2012-08-29] A Google User: About to try on my Good |
|
[2012-08-01] A Google User: Nice app |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: Pointless Just another thing that does little more than take people's eyes and attention off the road. Of which we DON'T need more of! Uninstalled. |
|
[2012-07-17] A Google User: Doesn't work with galaxy s3 Looks good but cannot load shortcuts to it |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: ZTE Warp. Great app. Im a real cheapskate and dont usually buy pro versions, (or write reviews), but i recently got a job involving travel and this app is so good had to buy it just to thank the developers. Simple to use, very customizable. Beautiful, thanks. |
|
[2012-07-09] A Google User: Nice application. Nice. |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: No bad |
|
[2012-07-03] A Google User: Great Dashboard App! I have used this on a Droid 4, Droid X and a Razr Maxx so far. It is great on all of them. Will be purchasing the Pro version soon! |
|
[2012-06-28] A Google User: Great, once you install Media Keys Beautiful, elegant app. Yeah, it has only four buttons per screen but when you hit Home (in Car Mode) it goes to the middle screen so you always know where you are without looking (otherwise, just hit Back). Love the big speedo but. I wish the clock and compass heading were bigger. The altitude is a nice plus for when traveling. I deleted all the speed alerts but at least there's a button for doing that. For those complaining about a lack of a brightness control, just d/l Brightness Level and add it to one of your buttons. I have a paltry supply of data so I don't use it for this (I use Copilot) so I really don't need the location feature. I have tried the other Car/Dock apps and settled on this one. Edit: Oops, the Media Control shortcuts disappeared when I uninstalled Car Home Ultra. No problem. Just install Media Keys. They work better anyway. |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: Sony S Tablet Not bad not good could change the graphics on the logo |
|
[2012-06-11] A Google User: app will not close App often does not close when remove from car dock. Fix that issue and I will purchase the pro version |
|
[2012-06-07] A Google User: WOULD be perfect... But only has like 10 shortcuts to choose from making it useless! |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: Amazing Please give us the option to lock entire device orientation when car dashboard is enabled. Not just the car dashboard app itself! Will be buying the pro version very soon! |
|
[2012-06-01] A Google User: Love it My Touch 4g Im going pro |
|
[2012-05-25] A Google User: Worthless Can't add Telenav to it or the music app I use. |
|
[2012-05-21] A Google User: Love it What a great car home replacement app! Love it so much! |
|
[2012-05-08] A Google User: Great in car app With this you can create a dashboard of all the apps you need when driving. Eg voice command, take call, music and maps. Nice one! |
|
[2012-05-06] A Google User: Didn't work Verified all my settings and it wouldn't go to speaker phone and auto answer my phone calls. unInstalled because i had to pick up my phone and answer the call....duh then who needs it |
|
[2012-05-05] A Google User: Best GPS/car cradle app I could find! Love it! |
|
[2012-05-05] A Google User: Great App! This app is absolutely awesome! It is stable, concise, informational, and allows me to be able quickly and safely operate my mobile device via voice and/or short taps while in my vehicle. The onboard speedometer works great and is very accurate. Not too much of a power hog, either. I'll be purchasing the full version. |
|
[2012-04-29] A Google User: Very good. Works very well. I replace the stock motor app. |
|
[2012-04-04] A Google User: Great app. I'll buy app when options for auto-start text message reading and auto activation via auxiliary input and Bluetooth. Great app! |
|
[2012-03-28] A Google User: No use Itz not working .. Waste |
|
[2012-03-26] A Google User: Brightness Please add a setting for brightness when in dock mode. Hard to see screen while driving furor.g the day. And too much work to exit program, change setting, then go back into program again. |
|
[2012-03-26] A Google User: Good, but please, reign in the ads! I've been happy with the free version of this app, but just now it showed me an ad that said something like "Tricks to pay off your home in half the time!" and flashed the add off/on (or inverted its colors?) several times rapidly. I can handle ads, and when one ad switches in while another switches out, but individual ads should not try to steal my attention from the road, that's just not safe! Would love it if Orientation Lock would let you specify which side for landscape -- my phone's tipped to it's right side, but the app thinks landscape is tipped to the left, so the dashboard is upside-down! |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: Does exactly what I want With just one push, I can hook to the car blue tooth, shut off email and text notification and concentrate on driving. I find the speedometer cool, but distracting. |
|
[2012-03-21] A Google User: Great App Using it and loving it. |
|
[2012-03-12] A Google User: Not bad Not bad. Boo ads |
|
[2012-03-11] A Google User: Needs better tablet support I'd buy the full version if it had better support for tablets |
|
[2012-02-29] A Google User: GREAT APP!!! but....... Great app. I love the way it looks. Icons stay crisp when enlarged. Connects to GPS really fast. Lots of information. I have the Samsung Fascinate and for some reason it doesn't activate when put in the dock. It deactivates when you take it out though. I'm going to contact the developer. Might be something I'm doing. Still love it and it deserves five stars anyway. |
|
[2012-02-24] A Google User: Good Good if no ads best |
|
[2012-02-04] A Google User: Love it. Great because my speedo just went out lol. |
|
[2012-02-03] A Google User: Good, but needs more Very clean, nice looking app. would like to see more configuration options. "exit dashboard" as a button that can be added. Start dashboard when bluetooth connection is detected would be another nice feature |
|
[2012-01-31] A Google User: Excellent! Does a great job. Even free version, but go ahead and spring for the two bucks. Galaxy s2. |
|
[2012-01-29] A Google User: OK. Cannot customize colors for night. Good app if you want speed alerts. Car Home Ultra better for me. Bionic. |
|
[2012-01-27] A Google User: Far too restrictive Cannot hide speed, altitude, direction etc. Very limited range of shortcuts can be added, for example I could not add gooogle navigation - without these basic abilities this app is worthless, there are far better options on the markets. |
|
[2012-01-13] A Google User: Vgood Satisfid |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Great app! Great app! |
|
[2012-01-01] A Google User: I will comment after use But I like what I see so far |
|
[2011-12-29] A Google User: Eyalh1 Wow very good app,and very good support,me and my friend got it install few days ago and we are happy with it, note that there are more then 4 shortcats windows for app or dircert call (I didn't notice it at first),wipe main screen to the side to get it |
|
[2011-12-26] A Google User: Widget or play music would be nice but for shortcut buttons: nice |
|
[2011-12-23] A Google User: Best car home replacement on the market! What can I say? This app is just GREAT! Dev is very friendly as well and it works perfectly with SMS, my Car and Me! Buy the pro, so worth the price |
|
[2011-12-11] A Google User: Magnetic docking doesn't work.....too bad. It could've been somthing good. |
|
[2011-12-09] A Google User: Great app! So much better than old car dock app. Got a droid 3 and car dock was gone. This program rocks with all the shortcut pages. Love the apps shortcut! |
|
[2011-11-29] A Google User: Nice app It freezes every once in a while. However it is better than most and I love the multiple pages of short cuts. I create nav ones for road trips |
|
[2011-11-15] A Google User: Pretty cool...Easy to use |
|
[2011-11-12] A Google User: WiFi Settings seem backwards I would think you would want to disable WiFi when in the dock and re-enable when detached. Why would you be using WiFi and not 3/4 G when driving? |
|
[2011-11-10] A Google User: Worse than original Google car home Screen doesn't stay on when other apps are running from this car dock app. No car home icon in notification bar. I like the clean interface. |
|
[2011-11-08] A Google User: Sux. Messed up Droid Bionic...had to do Mfg Reset. Uninstalled. |
|
[2011-11-04] A Google User: I really like thr app . . . . . . when it locates my gps location. Sometimes it grabs me instantly, other times i'll give up after 5+ min. It could be my phone, but maybe not |
|
[2011-10-26] A Google User: Totally Awesome Go with Pro, you can't beat the price! (Droid X Fanatic) Trust me! Thanks, Eric (Jammin' with DJ The Dog) |
|
[2011-10-11] A Google User: Can't install update. Keep getting an error starting that the installation package was not signed correctly. |
|
[2011-10-09] A Google User: Altitudes Wrong Altitudes not even close! Showed Clingmans Dome TN as 475 ft. (Actual over 6600)...Showes Ontario Ohio as 117 ft. (Actual 1217 ft.).. Cant be trusted |
|
[2011-09-30] A Google User: Awesome app I've been using this app daily for a while now and I can't be happier. Never crashes on epic 4g. Simple and efficient. |
|
[2011-09-29] A Google User: Pretty good app Works well, very cluttered. Would use over google car dock if I had the option to turn off compass/altitude/weather individually. Also, most people don't need individual degrees on compass, have option for just 'WNW' or even 'NW'. Great app concept though. |
|
[2011-09-12] A Google User: Yeah not bad to use. BUT the idea of it always getting onto the net after undocking to force me to purchase or to look at an add isn't nice |
|
[2011-09-11] A Google User: Kein Landscape-Modus. |
|
[2011-09-08] A Google User: @angel My droidx landscape worksbut didn't until Iwent into settings forboth droidx menu and dash menu to select landscape opt.I assume our phones R similar |
|
[2011-09-04] A Google User: Just remembered It would be nice if you could set the speed alerts with a general alert like 5 or 10 over posted instead of adjusting each one. Nice app |
|
[2011-08-30] A Google User: DROID X2 dissapoimtment Your app will not landscape when it goes into Motorola dock |
|
[2011-08-17] A Google User: GPS ON/OFF? Works fine on Droid 3. Would like to have it automatically turn on GPS, then off again when removing from dock please. (Saves battery) |
|
[2011-08-12] A Google User: Samsung Charge Works great... Except it won't auto start with the charge. |
|
[2011-08-02] A Google User: Awsome Use it on my motorcycle could not ask for anything more. |
