4 stars: Mostly a stable connection with avid features for driving. I wish Waze had a night mode when connected to Android auto (unless I'm missing it). I would rate Android auto higher if there was the ability to see your messages on the app versus playing them through the speakers.
5 stars: Keeps getting better. Adding the temperature to the screen is long overdue. Now if weather radar could be added to maps so you can see where it's raining or snowing would be incredibly helpful.
3 stars: This app has the potential for much more than it actually is. First, connection with the car should be via bluetooth (why do we need cable these days?). Second, the app is a little clunk as it seems not much effort has been made to optimize it. The compatibility with other apps is limited. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for auto makers to just mirror the cell phone in the infotainment monitor? I am not sure why reinventing the wheel.
3 stars: Very useful as a map app with driving instructions. Only works if my Google phone is attached with a high quality cable. Bluetooth connection or low quality cable \u003d no map. Another MAJOR problem. It does not use the route I select on my phone. It always selects the most direct route and it is hard to modify. I don't know how it compares to other apps, but compared to nothing, it is pretty good.
4 stars: Cool interface, but completely takes over my phone, even when I don't physically connect it. Sometimes my phone will get conn...
