Ratings and Reviews
Dummy proof
Connecting the powerswitch to the app was seamless and easy. With carplay now being supported, it was an easy decision choosing garmin over the other accessory switch companies. Only improvement I would like to see is the button sizing on CarPlay. The small circular buttons in the app on the CarPlay are sometimes hard to precisely press especially on the fly. It’d be much easier to use without looking while driving if the buttons were the same size as they are on the phone
Updated! CarPlay support added!
Original review at the bottom.
CarPlay support has been added and it works great! I now feel much more comfortable using my Powerswitch while driving and needing to turn lights off for that random stranger exploring the wilderness.
At this point I have zero complaints about the Garmin PowerSwitch and corresponding app. They both work marvelously and I would recommend them both to anyone I come across that’s thinking about picking one up.
Thank you Garmin!
Original review: App works great as it’s currently designed; however, it badly needs CarPlay support. It’s unsafe as a driver to need to unlock my phone, navigate to the app, and then switch the lights off. Even while driving on back roads can risk running off the road while trying to turn off lights for the one car you run into in the past hour. I wouldn’t like to think of what reason they’ve yet to add such a feature. Here is to hoping an update is in the pipeline!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback! We have added Apple CarPlay support in the latest version. Please check for an update and give it a try!
iPad Landscape Mode
Can you redesign the buttons to resize when using the iPad is in landscape mode and split screen. I like to have the PowerSwitch app and Gaia gps up and running in split screen but the garmin buttons are huge and not functional. Other than that, great products as always.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback! The iPad split screen behavior should be improved in the latest version. Please check for an update and give it a try!
