Has anyone seen this before or more importantly tried it on these head units?
Looks really good

Thanks for removing bad link.

No one?....I might bite the bullet and buy it.
I'm assuming if no good i can just uninstall

There is a trial version of it. Just look at the devs other apps.

I installed it yesterday to give it a go. Really nice clean interface, im liking it a lot.
Some benefits.

Simple interface, clean...Shows speed and time and shortcuts to some apps (I only use music, digital radio and spotify so this is perfect for me)
Installs as an App and you can start it from shortcut, once happy you can have it start automatically on boot as your default launcher.
Has in built screen dimming which works (All other auto dimmers have never worked for me)
3 different launcher themes, im using the one in the photo.
Easy to remove if not happy

Does it work with your hard buttons?

Yes all hard buttons function the same, Back exits apps and Home takes you back to desktop.
Really its just a choice of 3 new launchers in an App rather than playing around with system files

This looks really clean!

I gave it a shot on mine. Looks really nice. I wish the app buttons were a bit larger though. Looks much more like a OEM type interface.

Ye thats what i thought, looks similar to WinCE radio launchers
One thing i found to be a pain was that android by default, launches apps you had previously running (Which includes this Launcher)
So its already loaded when your device boots up, but as you open up your music, the Self boot of the app kicks in as well and you go back to desktop.

Im sure easy to get over somehow

So you have it set to autoplay off usb? Mine was playing the music as soon as it booted. If you disable the autoplay it doesn't launch the music app on startup.

I have it and love it! Originally downloaded it because it uses power amp as the default music player, I downloaded pro because with pro I can make it as my default home screen launcher. I've been very pleased with the results so far. And I've been running its for about a month.

Does it help with the ridiculous connectivity issues that I experience with AA? (i.e is it more reliable?)

Yes, a 1 device solution is generally always more reliable than a 2 device.

 

[jonboyuk]

I'm a bit confused by this app. Can someone help please? I bought a car with AndroidAuto built in and I made the assumption (probably wrongly) that this is a replacement launcher for my car dash. But - I'm not sure how to get it to mirror into my vehicle. Do I need AA installed, or do I use Mirror Link? Confused!

I used the Trial for about 5 minutes before I purchased the full version. This is exactly what I needed Now, Unfortunately im going to have to purchase poweramp i think
