  • Oh, yeah. This is a good point. A lot of things require their own apps to do now and quick installation is not always easy. I’ve had issues that were solvable but required some effort like this. Some friends invited me to a scavenger hunt and it took a while to get the app working (another friend on iOS couldn’t get it working either, so probably not a great design). Every parking lot wants a different app these days, which can be a pain.

    Event ticketing, work apps, etc may take a little longer than normal to find, install, and get working. Not like you can explain in a group setting, “ackshully, my phone isn’t working because its BETTER.”


  • I’ve just set it up about a month ago. Some apps work fully and some only halfway. I think it has to do with some kind of authentication that Android is doing. So CoMaps only works for turn by turn, but they have said if it is installed from the Play Store, then it will work fully. Sandboxed Google Maps works seamlessly.

    Audio apps play in the mini player, including basic controls (play/pause, skip, etc.), but I get a crash anytime I try to launch one on the car’s fullscreen console.

    As I said, I’ve just set it up and haven’t tinkered with it yet; it could be user error still.
