AppRadioLIVE for Android
I'm not sure what everyone is talking about because these apps work perfectly for me... works better than Mirra link ever did. Immediate response when i type or give commands... voice commands work smoothly... i like the app with the exception of being limited to only the music on your phone or one of pioneers services while using navigation . You'd think with a pandora and spotify enabled head unit that ypu would be able to stream while using navigation... If they could fix this issue then I'd run this app all the time in my ride.
My stereo is a avh x7800bt. I loaded the app and powered the stereo off and turned it back on to the main menu. It loaded the app thing at the top corner and i clicked on it and it launched the app. Works pretty good. I wish the screen on my phone could shut off while using the appradio stuff. I haven't figured out how to get it to play my music on slacker radio on my phone while using the navigation. Hopefully they make a proper update and allow more features through my phone and headunit.
Navigation isn't that helpful. Would be nice if you can just integrate the with Waze. If you want to use Waze, you have to quit the app, so you can't play music stored in your phone and have to settle with the radio tuner instead. Would be nice to integrate Spotify into the app as well as I listen to 90% of my music in Spotify. Last but not least, sometimes the app doesn't even start at all and just showing me black screen.
Surprisingly comprehensive feature set for a free app. Requires only a USB connection from my Samsung Grand Prime. They're not kidding about the number of radio stations, all with very good sound quality. While it reads all my contacts on my phone, and rings through when a call comes in, I haven't figured out how to make calls or answer them hands-free. If not for that, I'd rate this a full five stars!
Slow, clunky and removes parts of the stereo that I can use when not connected...... Digital radio unavailable when I'm using maps? Why? Only use phone audio, yet it supports play music and Spotify without connection. The keyboard doesn't work on screen, music is controlled from head unit, yet sound comes out of my phone, screen stays on, even though it's also on the head unit, very sluggish, and really doesn't work as it should..... Shame after spending 300 pounds on a stereo to sync with my phone
Just downloaded this to integrate my Nexus 5x to my head unit. I couldn't get past the privacy policy screen. The loading wheel just sat there spinning away, not letting me select decline or accept. Worthless. Uninstalling
Update: New Review - 4 Stars This now works with my Galaxy S7 Edge. Picture and touch screen work together now, audio was iffy, sometimes it wouldn't come out of the stereo, only the phone, other times it worked fine - I'm mystified. Possible improvements: add ability to use Pandora, Iheartradio, built in to phone mapping NOT the "recommended" one. May be a hardware issue, but ability to "blank" the screen of the phone while still viewing on the head unit screen. Old Review - One Star Doesn't work with Galaxy S7 Edge. Display on head unit is pixelated and distorted.
Summary: Bought a new deck (4800BS). Installed this among other Pioneer apps expecting a wide rage of capabilities.........nothing (2 apps Ive never heard of that crashes often). Trash.
This app has not worked with the s7 edge on my 2800bs. I think the "bs" stand for BULLSHIT. Wish I had done my homework with pioneer...smdh Finally... long awaited for this app to work with my s7
Up until a few days ago, I was ready to give up on this app and android, but the latest update has finally provided me with the experience I was hoping to get all along! Kudos to Pioneer for persevering and continuing to add more and more android devices to the list. My Xperia finally works as advertised with this app. PATIENCE as Pioneer continues to work out the kinks and soon it will pay off for you too!
Does not work. Radio asks me to install app when app is already installed. These features are the main reason I bought my radio. I feel like I wasted $200 on a brick. Not happy. I have contacted the company for support. If they fix the problem I will adjust this review.
Couldnt even create an account to login... Wow, can't even get past the login screen, complete junk and I wish Google would test and remove these apps from the play Store; I truly feel that they are Spyware.
Would be better if you are able to use Pandora or Spotify. Needs the ability to use other apps as your default then the ones provided. The reason I stream music so I do not have to listen to commercials. Also have the ability to turn off your device screen while using the app on your headunit.
Needs apps, kind of useless. And why in the world is the units radio not an option for music while using this app on the same head unit it is displayed on? Needs Audible compatability and Amazon music player. Those random unheard of music apps need to go. Not every mile of road has coverage for streaming.
Please update this app so audio works for Android. I have the current version of Android 6.0 on my LG V10 and the audio does not work in any function of this app. Help!!
When are more compatible apps going to be added to use on here? Also there should be a feature that would allow your phone screen to be off while using the application
Terrible Application. Very limited. The mapping application looks like it was something from the early 2000's. Android support is terrible. How can something like this make it into the hands of a customer? Keyboard is also terrible. FIX YOUR APP. LET THE PIONEER CUSTOMERS KNOW THAT YOU GIVE A DAMN.
Works well on my BlackBerry Priv running on android 6 with a slimport adapter instead of mhl or mirror link. Can't understand some of the reviews on here. If your phone supports slimport, don't buy a cheap adapter, otherwise the connection either doesn't work or very unstable. Made this mistake the first time
Was working with my galaxy s6 now I got my galaxy s7 edge doesn't work its sucks
Google map no voice or detail of where you are, player is ok, miles per hour not needed and no way to turn things off if not useful, don't like advertise, weather is always great there's a place for notification and never received anything, its a very dry app
I have a 3800BHS in my car and my Phone in a Samsung Note 4, app will not work at all. Shouldn't have to get a newer phone just use this app! #appradioliveisahughdisapointment
Won't work on my s6 edge plus did everything right guess not everything
Can't accept the terms and conditions because a spinner is over the screen and so I can't even get into the app to tell if it is worthwhile or not.
Does nothing without my phone being on. Does so little that I still need my handphone on the cradle. Useless.
Runing on galaxy s7 edge and the screen on my stereo goes blank. I reconect and samething happens again.
Didnt get the verification email and now I can't connect tried reseting my password still no email
Really basic and you can not turn the phone screen off with this running. Would be nice to have the phone screen off and use the radio.
I cannot create an account.... during registration my email address got red even though its correct
Out dated display but the navigation works unlike the others but why will it not just show whats on my phone
What's the point if my phone screen has to be on?
Plays music from my phone at least that's what it says it's doing I've never heard it play anything
The maps are not showing. Looks like something broken in the app and Google maps api :-(
Preinstalled nav sucks. Doesn't work with Nav Mii or Genius Nav. Just comes up a blank white screen
This app works well with my Mobile(xiaomi Redme note 4)+pioneer car player AVHX5899bt .Connected using USB cable.
It does exactly what the app say it does. Be careful to read the description first :)
Can't even get past the terms and conditions loading
Using the Navimi app they recommend as the navigation app show no picture. I'm able now to use waze before neither worked.
Sucks and useless, please improve it
Can't register...wasting my time so far

This app is very useful if you know how to use it. Most people have a powerful smartphone. Why duplicate that convenience in a head unit when u can connect your smartphone and make use of what you already have in return for a significantly reduced cost! Once I looked at a few YouTube videos and understood what it was abt the app I had it up and running and got my navigation working in quick time. Two cons: 1) not sure why you need this AppRadio to launch AppRadioLive and 2) why does the phone screen need to be on while AppRadioLive is in use. Other than these two things I am pretty happy.
