PocketCasts Rivian App

[adham06]

Hey everyone, if anyone would like to push for a dedicated pocketcasts app on the rivian UX reply to the following post. https://forums.pocketcasts.com/forums/topic/rivian-status/ they will be gauging interest. I believe they have a similar Tesla thread as well.

Rivian doesn’t allow others to write apps for the infotainment system.

Which is why we need CarPlay.

So get CarPlay - Sorry, but I don't understand comments like this when there's a great solution available. No - It's not delivered by Rivian, but it works really well.

They will never be able to provide the same options as the google or apple ecosystem. Having to pay a subscription fee for a clearly inferior service that is provided for free is nonsensical for everyone but those profiting from monthly fees.

Whatever. I have CarPlay in my Rivian and it works as well as it has worked in any other car I've driven with CarPlay (and that includes a lot of rentals). The EVPlay subscription is optional. Any facts to back up your "clearly inferior service" comment? Alex has been very responsive to all my questions.

Dash mount >>> cell phone >>> run whatever you want via bluetooth >>> let Rivian make their decisions for their cars.

We don’t need CarPlay, it’s an outdated technology that impedes the native OS.

Apple really did a number on our society, didn't they?
Accessible yes, but also created a dependency. Great marketing plan by them.
