By far one of the best head-up digital dashboard apps around!! 🏴☠️🤘😎🤘🏴☠️ Just wish they'd bring back the "make CHU temporary home screen".
★★★★☆Jeffrey Lewis· Dec 31, 2016
Very good, could use improvement Overall I like this app a lot, the various functions it can do make it very useful while driving, and you can really customize it a lot. The only problem I have is that whether widget doesn't seem to work and for some reason the media controls no longer work while I play music. If these two things could be fixed I would give it five stars.

Installed on OnePlus 7t w/ Android 10: Brightness setting to Auto will not switch into Night Mode. Worked fine on OnePlus 3t.
★★★★☆Paul Reed· Mar 27, 2019
I wasn't 100% sure on this app at first but found the Media mode using the phone in portrait orientation works really well for me. I use it in conjunction with Google voice commands and Spotify. I found that they responded quickly to my email when I asked questions. I would have rated as 5 stars but for the lack of Spotify integration. You are unable to load Spotify Playlists as one touch media buttons. Would be great to see in the near future. Great app, well worth the cost. Thanks

Actual App is not available on store, no refund policy. Why? I purchased the app which is just an unlocking app, after purchase it showing error of version compatibility, and Refund option there but couldn't refund as it is not in policy. I tried to use this app on other lower version device but same issue and no refund there. Kindly refund.

Doesn't work on my new phone. Edit to add: I installed the unlocked, and it doesn't work. Reply to dev: how do I do this? I have the base app, and it tells me I need to subscribe. Unlocked does not work.
★☆☆☆☆Allen Grooms· Mar 21, 2020
Was great for a while, now trial is over, and although I've purchased to unlock it won't allow me to update app. Need support from developer.
