Pros and cons of CarMediaPlayer app for iPhone and iPad

CarMediaPlayer app good for

Excellent interface for anyone who has an AppRadio installed in there car. Uses touchscreen navigation which makes playing and selecting music much easier and safer while driving.
Definitely prefer this to the stock iPod app - its a lot snappier and scrolling is nice and smooth. A few things would really improve this app though: 1. Support for Podcasts 2. Support for Video Please, please add support for the first one at the very least!

Some bad moments

Without it, this app is useless when iTunes match and iCloud are enabled.
Looks better than the built in player but I would appreciate a clock on the display. Have to check my other phone to see what time it is.
Stupid design. Like so many others have said, add a clock when in app mode! Why do we need to use this app when Pioneer should be fixing the built in iPod player which is garbage! Why have a clock that takes up the whole screen to not being able to tell time in any other screen. Who designs this stuff? Wake up Pioneer! Stop spewing out updates that do nothing at best and usually mess something up!
This app is TERRIBLE!!!! With the iPhone 5 its pretty much unusable. Not sure whos issue it is Apples or Pioneers but fix it soon!!! This is an interface for an expensive piece of equipment and it makes it pointless!!! Total complete garbage
I run the APPRADIO since last summer with my Iphone4 and I was almost satified. I decide too upgrade to an Iphone5 two weeks ago and then, after a treasure race to find all the cable, adaptor, install upgrades on the radio, install the new cables, I find a non-friendly-user interface that is no longer direct on the main screen... What a crap, and did I mention you the cost of the cables and adaptor? Almost 120$ . Pioneer, apple you made me recret my purchase, Im of a mercy of some company who have monopoly and abuse it. Sorry
The new update crashes every time I try to open it. Please fix it!
