Description
AutoDash gives you the freedom to create a custom control panel for your phone, with a clean, simple, car-friendly interface to access your essential apps on-the-go.
By leveraging the thousands of existing Android widgets and apps, we've created a custom launcher that lets you do what you need quickly and easily, and then gets out of the way so you can focus on what's important: driving.
Want to automatically launch Waze as soon as you start your car? Navigate home in a single tap? Play the latest podcast in your queue or load up Pandora? AutoDash does it all. And so much more.
AutoDash is incredibly powerful and ridiculously easy. After you install AutoDash, place your favorite apps and widgets on the launch screen and hit the road. The possibilities are endless, but here are some of our favorites:
- Auto-navigate to home or work
- Record voice memos
- Create quick to-do lists
- Pay for parking and set a timer
- Recognize a song on the radio
- Quickly call the important people in your life
- Use dozens of supported music and audio apps
- Integrate IFTTT triggers to power your connected devices

AutoDash automation is a breeze if you have an Automatic adapter. But even if you don't have an Automatic, you can benefit from the intuitive interface and great features AutoDash has to offer.
Some features require a second-generation Automatic adapter.

3 ★ The Automatic adapter tracks my mileage great.... It's exactly what I need but when it comes to marketing these extra features they need to quit because it doesn't do it well, at least on android. My thought is this app is something they threw together because android users were upset that they are left out because the focus is on iOS... I wish they would just allow the adapter to talk as a standard OBD2 ELM adapter so we could use great apps that already work.
3 ★ It's kinda cool, but it is really annoying if you use mapping because the base app keeps popping up all by itself, and I have to keep opening it. I'm getting rid of it.
3 ★ Conceptually its great. Needs some work though. It hangs on shutdown giving me a black screen. Nothing helps except a restart of my phone. I'd guess this happens close to 20 or 25% of the time.
4 ★ I think you guys have a memory leak somewhere. Launching this app slows my device to a snail's pace.
2 ★ Doesn't really do anything that other apps already do. Move along, there's nothing special here.
2 ★ Does not work. Just brings up home screen.
2 ★ I installed the app because I have the automatic adapter and thought I would try it out. It just doesn't do enough yet to make it truly useful and there are quirks that make it really frustrating. One is the fact that it doesn't auto-rotate to landscape. That is how my car dock is setup and how I prefer to have my phone. Seems like a no-brainer to have but apparently not. Having more than one page of widgets might help too. It quickly fills up the way it currently is setup.
3 ★ I love the home screen alternative that places a map in the top half and selected apps buttons in the bottom half. I populated the bottom half with buttons for apps I sometimes reference while driving (maps waze) or when I stop briefly (music, podcast, starbucks, pay). I wish it had a dark theme for night driving when I tend to flip to full screen map just to end the distraction). I like the screen unlocked while I'm driving, but find that the unlock often persists after I've held my finger over the bubble to close the app, and I have to open another app just to reinitiate the lock. Maybe there's something about closing the app I'm missing. I've stuck with this driving helper longer than any other I've tried so far. No need for lots of additional features for me; just would like to have the basic issues I mentioned above handled.
1 ★ Left installed for months hoping it would get better. It didn't. Google Maps with no option for anything else. No option to launch automatically when connected via Bluetooth to your car stereo. I'm not buying an 'Automatic' OBD 2 dongle, my car has its own diagnostics system. Has a bright white screen while you're driving instead of something friendly for night time or any theme options. Uninstalled.
4 ★ Inconvenient to not have contacts addresses pop up. No landscape mode? Update on this issue, the suggestion from dev to change setting solved it >>>Also, while I am a passenger and have the app minimized to floating icon, it forces itself back open on its own.
3 ★ Widgets are crowded and honestly the app is a bit confusing.l do like the live map.
4 ★ Good stuuf
1 ★ Pops up at the most inconvenient time. Very annoying!
2 ★ Good concept, but needs a lot of work. App should not turn the phone on when it's off. I don't need it to open for every trip I take. When I try to close it it freezes and I need to reboot my phone. Happened three times yesterday. Will be uninstalled until fixes can be made.
1 ★ Good idea, but with how long it takes for the system to detect ignition paired with how it took over the screen 6+ times during my 30 minute drive to work this morning... it's not usable. Sending screenshot to devs because the last time it took over my screen the bottom half was black.
