HUDWAY Cast — Safe Driving

I’ve been loving these apps, but this one got me sad. It shouldn’t have been released for iOS without being totally tested and checked. Too bad to feel it’s not worth it.

Can you make it work offline with Spotify and Google maps?

One thing is what if you can text in the app in the contacts area Next is if you can open app in the app or at least shortcuts

The worst map I have ever tried. When I touch the re-center button, it shows my position is one mile from what I actually am.

I brought this home so happy and ready to use it. I plug it in and get it setup and lone behold the app can’t pick it up. So I hardwired it in then it said a firmware update was available. I thought “oh sweet yeah this will update it and get it right” but all it did was display what I think they thought was cute as a “something went wrong” I backed out and tried again and it didn’t work. I tried using it as is and sure enough when I pressed “cast to hub” it casted the screen previous. Then I tried apple maps but that didn’t work because of the rotation of the phone. I’m so unbelievably frustrated.

The only reason I am not going with one star because the User Interface is simple and nice. I love it because my vehicle does not have Car Play... but do not forget to close the app when you are done. It not only drained my battery but made my phone hot to touch and I even have a case on my phone. Yes it was that hot!!!

Absolute waste of money. Keep submitting bug reports with no response. Cool concept but not ready for market.

I have struggled with this gadget and hudway ld tech support for 6 months. Support has been less than helpful or really has offered any help other than YouTube videos and a 50 dollar credit. I was given this credit to essentially go away. But I was told even though I couldn’t return the device that I could have a credit and give it away as a gift or sell it. Well I’ve tried it on 5 iPhones and 2 androids and not once could I get it to work reliably. Fidgeting with this device while driving is an absolute hazard as it constantly goes out. It is not a reliable hud. And I’m super angry that how this company has treated me and stalled me out past return. I was told by a second person that I could return it and then kasy quickly jumped in to tell me I couldn’t. Your product doesn’t work and your business practices are questionable.

I bought it from the Kickstarter campaign and it has never worked, the last version, even when my phone is connected to the cast network, it says that I don’t have a compatible device, seriously? Also, the screen mirroring crashes way too much, it makes my drive more dangerous because I have to re-start the thing...

This latest update is a substantial improvement, and finally makes this device usable in my opinion. Losing the screen mirroring is much easier on my battery and is also less unstable. Also I notice the app now allows me to stream my Bluetooth audio to my stereo again. Connection stability is still imperfect, however, and screen refresh is slow. Still, big leap forward.
