This could be a great app.. if it worked as it’s supposed to. The music app doesn’t integrate properly with Spotify or Apple Music like it says it does, you can’t even get simple access to your created playlists. The contacts app has the icons not scaling properly and text is hidden below contact type icon. It doesn’t integrate with your preferred navigation, you either have to use the bad built in one, or create a link to launch your preferred app.. the home screen icons don’t make full use of the screen space, so they’re way more fiddly than they need to be.. all in all if they could get this set up properly it could be a great app. As it stands it’s a buggy mess.

Further update 20th January 2023: I bit the bullet and decided to support the author and pay the subscription however I’ve just cancelled it today as sadly a new update has now been pushed which has ruined the previous interface and it no longer works properly in landscape mode and the buttons left align and are smaller, the first button is hidden behind the iPhones notch at the top of the screen, the weather and time are now vertically stacked which means they dont look right in Landscape mode either and the background for the time etc is no longer transparent which hides the desktop, one of the only reasons I subscribed so I could theme it to my car brand. Definitely not worth the subscription fee Previous Review: I loved this app and paid for it but sadly the developer has changed the payment model and made it subscription only. As a previous purchaser I am supposed to be able to use my version unhindered however unfortunately the app now pops up advertising trying to entice you to buy the subscription version. I voiced my annoyance with this to the developer especially as this pop up appears after you have started your journey often which means in order to close it you have to pull over and stop driving to close the screen down, as it is illegal here in the U.K. to touch a phone screen whilst driving but it seems to have gone on deaf ears. More annoyingly is that some of my own suggestions were brilliantly included in the app design like showing the time on the screen and now in the subscription version another one of my suggestions of customisable wallpapers is also now available. I already have turn by turn navigation in other apps and nothing offers makes this worthwhile for paying an annual charge in my opinion, each to their own but as I can no longer use this app legally due to the nag sales screens I reluctantly have had to stop using it, if you don’t mind paying subscriptions then enjoy, but if you feel like me you are someone who paid for an unrestricted version and then the goal posts were moved you can see why I now feel the disloyalty leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I understand if the dev can’t make a business model from a one time purchase setup, but this is not fair on people who paid for something in good faith and now find they have a hindered product. Real shame …

Having previously purchased this app and found it unusable, I decided to trial the new and updated version 7. Having navigation built into the app and working seamlessly with the audio player seemed to be just what the app needed, however the reality is that the app is truly awful. The navigation system is basic and lacks the finesse of dedicated apps such as Waze, TomTom etc. It has a very poor points of interest database, absolutely no traffic information, and no speed camera alerts. All of these are basic requirements for a nav app. Most concerning of all though is the extremely high battery drain when not using the app. Less than 2 hairs after taking my iPhone off the charger and with the app not running (not even in the background) my battery was nearly drained and 68% of that usage was down to icarmode. I have now deleted it and cancelled my subscription.

Spotify is odd as I can't seem to see my play lists but see random songs that aren't even mine. BBC radio stations don't work and after being promised it was fixed it still doesn't. Probably a work in progress. But it didn't cost a fortune.

Good app hope you can sort out my problem….on I pad mini 4 Regards . Vic higgins…..still no joy with current updates …still freezes in app and some times app want load and freezes….

It works as a launcher fine, but then you are out the app and no way back! Also if another app is car play compatible still does not work in landscape. It’s not the apps thought it’s apples for not doing a proper one Instead making money on selling car play for integration into cars nav systems, but if you have a car pre 2017 that is not helpful apple!

Had this app for a few weeks now and it works really well. I also like the fact that it is included in iOS Shortcuts... well, it was. So why 3 stars. I had a shortcut set up to turn on Bluetooth, launch iCarMode then launch iCarMode music then play a playlist. Worked great. I went to edit the shortcut only to find that the app is now missing from the list. ICarMode will still launch but will no longer open music and play anything automatically. Like I say, the app tile in the app list just simply is not there any more. If this is fixed then I will happily give this app a 5 star rating, but until then it will have to stay at 3 stars for now. Please fix.

It works fairly well but the biggest bugbear is that the website says TomTom is supported but this just isn’t the case.

Useful app which gives you a car play like interface on your phone. Useful if you car doesn’t support car play. Some feedback; It would be nice to use any waze shortcut you have set and displaying the app logos would make the interface look better in my opinion. Other than that a very useful app.

Can't choose any app to open, no google play music option
