Ah, good to see the release of Open Road! Been looking forward to this for some time now. @lisbakke, any plans for implementing landscape mode? And where can I file a bug?

@t55 Hey! We hope you enjoy it. We have plans for landscape mode for iPad because we think that would absolutely awesome for people to use iPads mounted in the car. For iPhone we are going to keep our eyes out and see if that's a big request by users and go from there.

@t55 I'd also like to hear about what you'd want out of a landscape mode. What do you like about landscape vs. portrait, and what are some examples of things you'd like to see in a landscape (or any apps that do it well)?

@lisbakke Well, the main thing is: I use my navigation app (Sygic) in landscape mode, so I prefer not to turn my iPhone in portrait mode just to select a different playlist or music track. I can swipe 'up and down' of course instead of the using 'left and right', but a landscape view with the artist(s) and playlists would be preferable....

Wow the onboarding/intro slides when you open the app for the first time are terrific! What are your plans for adding future app integrations? I could really see this becoming the ultimate roadtrip app, especially with the potential to be able to quickly switch between Waze and a Podcasting app.

@bradleyengel Thanks Brad! We agree that roadtrips and using Open Road are matched very well together. When you mention app integration, do you mean adding more native apps from your device?

Looks great, can't wait to try this out! Will you do something similar to launch center in terms of integrations?

@lisbakke Nice mockup picture. What mockup service are you using? I made gesture based driving interface for Android. https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

I spend 2 hours per day inside my car and often vocal commands are really annoying. I love all the apps that try to make the life of drivers a little better. Unfortunately I can't try the app (I don't have an iphone) but keep up the good work!
