Comments:
I've had this app at least since 2011. In the last year, I have noticed that the location/street name feature is incorrect. It usually shows me north or west of the street that I'm actually on. I've written to the app designer three times now and I've gotten no response. Very disappointing. Edit Jan 2022...still no updates since 2019.
`I've had this app for many years and it's been very useful. Now, not so much. I used to be able to use direct dial shortcuts with this app, but they no longer work. When I try to use a direct dial button, I get a "this app may not be compatible with Car Home Ultra" even when I'm using this apps own built-in direct dial feature. I'm using a Pixel 3 with Android version 9. This feature worked fine with my previous phone, the original Google Pixel, which also had Android version 9.`, `Has been my go-to dock app for years but when I switched to an LG G6, it became less useful. It seems the app cannot override the G6's auto-off setting for the screen. No matter how I adjust it in the app, the screen will ALWAYS turn itself off after the set time. The only thing that corrects this is adjust the setting to "never" in the phone settings (which is not a solution). This doesn't happen when I'm in navigation for some reason, though. Please fix this!`,I have used this app for several years and through several phones, but the lack of updates has limited its usefulness. The music app support is abysmal, especially since Google Play Music is dead. The link to maps/navigation is still good, and the speed information is helpful. Nice to be able to program the camera button on the home screen.
Once upon a time, this was my go to app for auto interaction. Back then, my biggest complaint was the integration with the phone app. Now in 2021, there have been no updates in 2 years and definitely does play nice with Android 11. For instance, I have CHU exit when the initiating Bluetooth device shutdown. Or a least I thought it worked. Now, even with the Bluetooth device turned off, CHU keeps turning itself on until I do a force stop of the app. Not cool!'
