In this video I take you through a brand-new Android car launcher called “Car Launcher by Car Lab”. The developer, David, actually reached out and asked me to test it, so I installed it on my (slightly abused) tablet and walked through the full setup like we do with every launcher—creating/logging into an account, granting permissions (location, contacts/calls, notifications, and “draw over other apps”), and setting it as the default launcher. Once it’s running, I tour the home screen layout: Google Maps on the left, Spotify widget, date, and weather, plus the bottom icon bar for phone, apps, music, navigation, internet and settings. I also dig into the settings (units, language options, 12/24-hour time, °C/°F, light/dark theme, brightness, keeping the screen on, and moving the main panel left or right—nice touch if your head unit’s bottom bar is too sensitive). My honest takeaway: it’s promising, especially with the dynamic Spotify widget background and integrated Maps navigation, but it feels a bit clunky in places (particularly moving around music/radio/Spotify). The subscription model is also unusual, with limits like “navigation sessions” and other usage caps—so I’d want clarity on whether it’s monthly or a one-off before committing. There’s a free trial (I mention about 3 days), so it’s worth a test on your own setup.
