iCarMode 9.0 is here. This major update introduces a new way to access essential information and controls while driving, along with significant improvements for landscape users.
The new Driving Dashboard
The all-new Driving Dashboard brings the information you need into one glanceable screen. View navigation, music controls, current speed, weather, upcoming events, and your favorite actions without moving between different parts of the app. When navigation is active, guidance remains integrated directly into the dashboard.
Dashboard Arrival Shortcuts
iCarMode 9.0 can now show helpful shortcuts when you arrive at Home or Work. Configure your preferred actions in Settings, and the Driving Dashboard can offer them automatically when you reach your saved locations. A good use for this would be an "Open Garage" shortcut.
Notifications in one place
The new Notifications screen gives you a clear overview of your active driving-related alerts. You can view and manage:- Parking meter timers
- Saved parking locations
- Scheduled reminders
A better landscape experience
Many drivers use iCarMode with their iPhone mounted horizontally, so version 9.0 includes extensive landscape improvements. Layouts now adapt more effectively to the available space, while a persistent recent-actions sidebar keeps frequently used controls within easy reach.Navigation appearance controls
You can now choose how the navigation screen handles its appearance:- Automatically based on the time
- Always light
- Always dark
Upgrades throughout the app
Version 9.0 also includes improved weather and location handling, updated underlying technologies, performance improvements, and fixes across the app. These changes make iCarMode smoother, more reliable, and ready for future improvements.Available now
