Does CarPlay show album artwork?

Yes. The Now Playing screen shows station logos and track artwork when available. The app pre-caches artwork so it appears instantly on your car display.

⭐ CarPlay Radio App (4.8★) — 4-Tab Interface, Full Controls

A full Spotify-style 4-tab interface on your car screen. Browse stations, revisit history, discover podcasts — all without touching your phone. Wired or wireless, it just works.

Most CarPlay Radio Apps Are Afterthoughts

Many apps treat CarPlay as a checkbox feature — a basic now-playing screen with a skip button. That's not enough when you're driving. You need to browse, discover, and switch stations without taking your eyes off the road.

LiveTune Radio was built with CarPlay as a first-class experience. Every tab, every list, and every control was designed for the car dashboard first.

Designed for Driving Safety

CarPlay's built-in safety restrictions are respected. Lists are capped at configurable limits. Large touch targets. Minimal text — artwork and icons do the heavy lifting. No settings to fiddle with while the car is moving.

Now Playing on Your Dashboard

The Now Playing screen shows station artwork or album art when available. Track metadata updates in real time via ICY tags. Standard CarPlay controls: play/pause, next track (where supported), and volume. The artwork is pre-cached when you connect, so there's no blank placeholder while driving.

Frequently Asked

Does it work with wireless CarPlay?

Yes. LiveTune Radio works with both wired and wireless CarPlay. The connection type makes no difference to the app experience.

Can I search for stations in CarPlay?

CarPlay's safety model doesn't allow free-text search while driving. But with 15 genre categories, top charts, and favorites, you can always find something to listen to without typing.

What happens when I disconnect from CarPlay?

Playback continues on your phone — either through the speaker or whatever audio output you were using. The transition is seamless. When you reconnect, CarPlay restores automatically.
