A long awaited feature – iCarMode now has it’s own integrated Podcasts player.

Floating mini-player

You can now go back to the main menu and still have control on what is playing: music, radio or podcast, right from the floating mini-player.

The floating mini-player also provides you with a quick launch to last played audio from all of these sources.

Improved user interface

The bottom tab-bar was removed.

The Home button moved to the top-right corner.

The settings and about/contact buttons moved to a new side menu.

This frees some needed place specially for landscape orientation users.

New settings options:

• Mini player – if from some reason you don’t like the new floating mini player, you can turn it off.
  • Lock Orientation – (Device default/Portrait/Landscape Left/Landscape Right) – this feature, most wanted by our bikers, allows you to lock the device orientation.
  • Save unplug location – by default, iCarMode saves your location once you unplug your device, This is an educated guess that this action is part of your parking routine. The saved location, will help you get back to your parked car even if you forget to save your parking spot when leaving the car. If you don’t like this option – you can turn it off.

And…

• Better support for iPhone 12 and iOS 14 compatibility.
• Bug fixes.

Drive safely.
