5 ★ So far it's the only app which provide auto mode as a widget. It really works. Once setup correctly it turns on bluetooth and connect to it, music and start playing, and control light environment and other by the touch of a single button. When disconnected, all phone settings came back to normal. In my opinion, it's the best! Thanks!
5 ★ Perfect so far, one thing missing for me though , is it possible to integrate a sound when you click the buttons (icons)? If you see the new Audi MMI system , when you touch the icon it makes a click sound with little vibration. The standard android click sound is not sufficient and it doesn't sound right. I love your work though , keep on!
5 ★ great app. freedom of use. left all competitors far behind. i tried (n paid for) 3 different apps n nothing even came close to it.
5 ★ Incar (screen on) function broken after Android update. Cleared cache, no change.
3 ★ amazing until the upgrade...keeps popping notifications that its operating even when not in the car...
5 ★ Easy to adjust icon
5 ★ nice app
2 ★ Each time my phone turns off, the widget goes in to loading mode and never loads! I then have to reappoint apps, so from that point it works...until the phone goes off again
4 ★ So very versatile and accessible
5 ★ Upgrading to pro means you have to back up your settings, delete the free widget, install the pro widget, restore your settings, then uninstall the free widget. What a pain.
2 ★ Almost perfect except.... You have to customize every single widget as there is no option for a template. Sometimes the change of aspect when rotating the screen doesn't work. I restarted my tablet all of the 10 widgets launcher panels I spent hours creating to launch music playlists were deleted and the backups I made of them don't work. Hours of wasted time.
5 ★ worrie works well
4 ★ Nice but needs some work, like the Pro version could be a lot more elaborate and equipped with more options than free version.
4 ★ Why does the app remove itself and my shortcuts when you do an update. It is getting really annoying
3 ★ It's great, but it's a huge battery killer
