iCarMode: Drive Safe Dashboard

Great app. I purchased it to get a CarPlay like interface on an actual iOS device (iPad) that I’m using as a replacement for the infotainment system in an older vehicle. So far it has performed flawlessly and exactly as advertised. The built in customization features allow for an aesthetically pleasing display with substantially more flexibility in display content over CarPlay. App also features some handy widgets including weather, time, location and speed overlayed in a very pleasing top banner with a customizable transparent background. I’ve only encountered a minor glitch where the app opens up with large buttons in lieu of the saved configuration but it automatically corrects itself after a few operations. For the iPad users, providing more options in customizing the shortcut buttons (size, image, screen placement), more selection of category icons (like a currency $ symbol) and the addition of a compass widget in the banner would further enhance the product.

I really like this app, I was looking for something that adds a simple interface to the Apple Music app and this fits the bill. The only thing that I would like that isn’t there is some type of progress bar with track elapsed and total times. Thanks!

App is really the only I could find on the app store as a car dashboard. The shortcuts are pre-baked into the app and you can't select other apps to launch without submitting an enhancement request for the app. The app crashes when trying to move the position of 2 or more shortcuts at a given time so you need to move one shortcut > save > move next shortcut > save > etc. It's tedious. It would be nice if there were other features too (e.g., automatically launch app when connected to my car's Bluetooth, set media volume when connected to app, change brightness when connected to app). I'm guessing some of these requests, if not all of these, are not possible due to iOS being super locked down but they'd be great enhancements nonetheless.
