  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Listening in CarPlay is now part of Prosody Plus. • Without Prosody Plus, a book playing on your iPhone pauses when CarPlay connects and stays paused while CarPlay is connected. The car screen and your iPhone say why. • With Prosody Plus, CarPlay works as before. • Away from the car nothing changes: Siri, the widget and the lock screen play without a subscription.
