This version is a major release - iCarMode now contains an integrated Podcasts player, see the details bellow to read more about it and additional features and changes.
Podcasts Player
A long awaited feature - iCarMode now has it's own integrated Podcasts player.
This feature combines podcasts listening into iCarMode big buttoned interface.
Firstly, you can search your favorite podcasts on iTunes and mark them as your favorite.
Secondly, you can easily access your favorites and listen to the latest episode on your next drive.
Thirdly, If you have internet issues on road, you can also pre-download the required episode/s and listen to it/them offline.

Podcasts integration development was quite a development challenge, additional one-time fee is required to get access to this feature.
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.
