iCarMode: Drive Safe Dashboard

Has a nice interface and good basic functions that are easy to view and navigate. Could benefit from a voice interface for a 5 star rating.

This app is perfect for the car, easy to navigate to phone, contacts, music and GPS. Update now let's you open other nav apps such as TomTom. Developers are very responsive and listen to your suggestions.

To my surprise there doesn’t seem to be a free trial at the very least. I understand the business model, but don’t understand paying for something before you can see it in full. I DID get a popup offering one, however, it only keeps saying invite code expired.

I have enjoyed using this app and watching it grow to be better, as with all things, things that are worthy of use they only get better and this app has proven to be one of them. With every vehicle in this day and age having dash cams and backup cameras and owners like having an older vehicle without the mentioned devices would be elated to be able to adapt them to this app through an adapter, I use an iPad installed in my dash so I personally be thoroughly satisfied, thank you for sharing this with us.

UPDATED REVIEW: Downgrading to 1 star due to so many freaking ads! I bought this app a few years ago and even with a few issues, I could live with it. With the latest versions, it started to just bombard you with ads to the point where you need to tap to remove, which in turn takes your focus away from the road and onto the app, making it a safety hazard. I understand the premium, subscription based version removes the ads and adds a ton of features, but for someone like me that paid for the app and does not need all the features, this has become unusable due to the ads. All good things do come to an end, sigh… —————————————— Great app but needs to be more configurable. I mainly use this for music while driving. I wish you can configure the default music subscription. It would be cool if tapping music chooses the last playlist I have in Spotify. It currently defaults to Apple Music and it takes a lot of taps to get to a Spotify music, which isn’t great when you're driving. Three stars as I’ve stopped using it as it takes a lot of steps to get to Spotify playlists…

The app seems to be okay however without being able to check out the entire app I will just go my own route.Navi would have been nice to see and interact with, curious if there is music control while on map and if map can be changed or trips recorded.

I’ve had this app for years. It works great in my new and old cars. Love it!

Not a great app

I have been debating getting a new head unit for my newish car so i can use apple car play but I would lose some important safety features. This fits the bill nicely to still be able to access the apps like apple car play without paying a lot to upgrade. The price of the app is very reasonable and the podcast upgrade is totally worth it as well. No monthly subscription bills like the other app I considered. Well done, developer!

I don't use Apple music, but it's the only shortcut to a music app. Need to go through 3 screens to get to Spotify. Not great while driving. Can't figure out how to change app shortcuts. Incessantly prompts for permissions that it wants for features I don't use or need. Uninstalled.
