Comments

I'm getting used to it, with the understanding that it can't have all of the functionality of Android Auto. Wondering, however, if there's an option to keep the map either oriented in the direction of travel OR north up. I prefer North up, as it makes understanding direction of travel easier.

I'm only a couple of days in but this app is exactly what I was looking for! My motorcycle doesn't have the ability to use android auto instead using a frankly sub par proprietary app. Autozen lets me use all my navigation and music apps linking seamlessly to my Cardo intercom with my phone mounted via Quadlock to the handlebars. Edit- Motorcycles are included, it was me not looking in the settings! Thank you for all your hard work in developing this app and for the fast response! 

The app is stable and doesn't crash, it will open Spotify and play music upon opening the app, and I love the user interface as it has Spotify controls down the bottom of the screen. I tried the app on my way to local shops, and unfortunately the tracking for the location of the device was very poor and kept darting around, which meant it kept giving me wrong directions, and some roads are incomplete. It was also frustrating I couldn't click on a place and navigate to that destination.
