No longer works with Waze on Note 9 which I use religiously. Does not allow Waze to open. It would be 5 Stars is this was fixed.
Great app works great for me once i gave it the proper permissions on my phone.
Best app ever. Easy to use, beautiful, custom apps. Thanks
I've had this for over 12 years and it's always worked for me
This app used to be great but your lack of support is mediocre and doesn't seem to care. When attempting to restore back up from dropbox it comes back saying its fraud and another app is using dropbox which is false. The app itself whenever I get an incoming call freezes and I have to restart my phone. Update your app regularly like your competitors.
I have a Samsung S8+ and when I upgraded my phone I lost some features this app no longer has auto launch and I also can hear phone calls pick up my phone nor does it show any visible indication that I'm getting a call other than the audible sound of a phone call and am unable to pick up the phone I have to call the person back after they hang up also once I call that person back it gives no indication or counter of any type as the same on the phone and no way to hang up'....... through all the settings there's nothing else I could do here other than for the app creators to modify otherwise I will have to find another means other than the ibolt dock or app
The only problem with this is that I can't get rid of the icon from my phone display. I have to keep moving it around to see stuff.
Screen dims all the time. No matter what setting i use in the app or the phone. I hit night mode to keep the images from burning in my screen like it did with my last phone. When i come off noght mode i dims the screen to a level that is unuseable even at night. I want my screen bright due to my eye issues! If this cant be resolved I will uninstall the app.
App prevents using OK Google in Oreo on Pixel 2 XL, even if the relevant checkbox is enabled in the app's settings. Beta did not resolve.
Just awesome and very light. Never fails. Ok Google command though is not drawing up front whatever settings I may try to change.
This used to be my favorite app. But now none of the settings work. Sad.
By far the best app for using in your car. Ive used it all over Europe and the US and it always works and allows the user to configure the use and the apps to use. Way better than the Google car app that can not even be used on a google based phone.
However, this morning, my Samsung Edge S7 phone had an Android update, and ever since it did, the USB charging port has somehow become corrupted when I plug the USB charger for the iBolt into the charging port on my phone. I get a pop-up that says that there is moisture in the charging port and that I need to unplug the charger and clean the port out. I've already done that three times now, and all my other chargers work fine.
Great app for an excellent phone holder. Both work well; holder stays on even on bumpy roads and in hot weather. Easy to insert and remove phone. App has a nice clear design. Sadly "OK Google" voice commands aren't working. Obviously a drawback for a car app but Google Assistant still works by pressing the GA icon. Wish the audio output worked with the supplied cable but that's Google's fault. Overall iBOLT design team should be proud. Highly recommended piece of kit. Tks. :)
This app does exactly what it is supposed to do. I love the one touch hook up. Works in all my vehicles. I use it for my speedometer on my motorcycle. I love the "It can wait" feature and set the reply text to whatever is appropriate. I even use the app in business meeting to silence text msg "dings", and auto reply. Thanks iBolt!
Installed this with the iBolt mount for my BlackBerry PRIV, was excited to start using it, but whenever this app is open, the red led blinks, and since I have the phone mounted within my peripheral vision it is so distracting I can't use it. Can't find a way to shut off led for this app either.
I love this app and use it on a daily basis, but since I got my google pixel xl I've been having trouble with calls when the app is on, the phone would ring but the call won't be displayed on screen and same problem when trying to make a call, the call would go through but again nothing is displayed on screen, when i close the app everything goes back to normal. I hope there would be a fix for this bug soon, i would hate it if I'll have to look for another app cos i absolutely love this one and have been using it for two years straight day in and day out.
This used to be an awesome house but the crashes all the time now so I'm getting rid of it
My Navigation was not responding when in Car Mode. Uninstalled Maps updates, then reinstalled. Everything works again. Thanks for the quick response.
I use this app daily either in my car or on my motorcycle and it works perfectly. Large easy to read display and very convenient shortcuts.
Hi so I was reading some reviews as since I upgraded my phone auxiliary no longer works. Thought it was my cable or auxiliary port. But looks like option is removed on Samsung s6. Do we know of a work around. As this was the whole reason I bought the cable and dock, and use this app.
BUG REPORT: I have a Samsung Edge 7 and after roughly 20 minutes the application closes on its own. I'm using the NFC dongle behind the phone, and I don't hear the chime for it disconnecting.
My phone updated the software and now the ibolt won't launch automatically. I have also don't have the floating icon any longer. I have uninstalled then reinstalled and still no luck. Ugh. *****update***** I MUST use the android car mode in order for the app to work correctly.
Sweeeet! I see you all use my idea, when the inter the car dock charging it pops up.
Worked in the past with my other phones but won't work Correctly with my new galaxy S6 please help
I've tried every driving application out there and I always end up coming back to iBOLT Dock'n drive. At the end of the day the functionality just makes sense. Easy access to everything I need via their dashboard. The audio controls work, and I love using the full screen speedometer function.
