Back Seat Navigator Reviews

by Mareyroo

It’s exactly what I was looking for in terms of finally getting a GPS that yells at you. We have had lots of laughs with BackSeatNavigator. However, it takes you WAY out of the way to get to a destination. And twice now, it’s taken us to the wrong location, despite the correct address. Will update with 5 stars when it actually does its key job of being a GPS.

I set the preference to satellite street. A map shows as satellite view but once you enter the desination the map is not a satellite view anymore but a 2D drawing map. Also there are no instructions on how to use BackSeatNavigator. The driving direction was accurate and good but I need and like the map to be a satellite view. Ill be going back to Waze app.

So I’ve tried using BackSeatNavigator like Waze while I’m driving. My phone is connected through the cad stereo but I cannot hear a thing when it is giving me directions. Would not recommend at this point.

I didn’t mind paying but I did think it was going to be a better experience. There are the same voices as if you didn’t pay for BackSeatNavigator . What’s the point of paying and yet receiving the same as not. Also and the worse part is that the navigation sound won’t play. You have to reboot it every single time I have to play with it. I’m not really using it as my everyday to-go navigation, simply for the insults and for the fun aspect. I’m sadly disappointed. In hopes it gets better. We need a Latin accent. Pendejos!

I would love to give BackSeatNavigator 5 stars but I just can’t. BackSeatNavigator’s navigation needs some major troubleshooting. I always get taken on the longest route and it always changes its route halfway in. Because of this, I’ll miss whatever exit I need to take or miss a turn, whatever the case may be. Even with insults turned off, it doesn’t make me aware of changes fast enough. I’d love to keep BackSeatNavigator but my job has me traveling to places A LOT. I need something more reliable that this.

BackSeatNavigator has me rolling its so funny. By the same people who made What The Forecast app which is also hysterical. The navigation is a tad buggy so i only use it when I know where I’m going.

Sometimes i miss a turn on purpose just to hear it cuss me!

Fun app! it's hilarious but the volume is a huge problem! it's so low even with my thing turned all the way up! there needs to be volume options within BackSeatNavigator . also seems like there's troubles with what routes it takes.

by Lexnemmamas

What a fun app! Makes me laugh every time but the GPS is not accurate enough. It’ll say turn right after I’ve already turned. And the routes it sends me are not always the best route. Hoping the GPS gets more accurate but I use BackSeatNavigator for entertainment. Love their weather app WTForecast to!

BackSeatNavigator is awesome, the only reason I’m giving it only 4 stars is because even wi th all volumes maxed out through Bluetooth in my truck BackSeatNavigator is still quiet, definitely could use a volume boost in the settings!

I know it’s not your fault, but I can’t tolerate the flat computer voice, to the point I deleted BackSeatNavigator minutes after I tried it out. Pity, because the insults are hilarious and the navigation is excellent. I love the concept, but computer voices grate on my nerves. I’ll come crawling back and ask your forgiveness when the voice technology improves.

This is a really entertaining and useful app. The insults are super creative and have me laughing the whole ride. BUT Please add the ability to increase the navigation volume within BackSeatNavigator . Not all vehicles can adjust the map navigation volume over the music.

by CorrectOpinionMan

Please add a setting like “do not curse or say any insults for first ____ verbal commands”

That way I can drive my friend and I can pick to have the first 2 or 3 commands be completely normal so then when the next command cursed and insults me they’ll be really confused and I’ll act like I didn’t hear it 😂

Absolutely love BackSeatNavigator when used in another vehicle. BUT would give a 5 star if you could have the option to allow play thru Bluetooth. BackSeatNavigator will not work if I have my Bluetooth on in my vehicle, which allows music and Google navigation. Can this be corrected ?? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Thanks

I use BackSeatNavigator all the time, it is great! But after I updated it recently, every time I open it, it crashes. I’ve tried everything and it doesn’t work, it won’t stop crashing. Please fix this!

by Omar Miguel

I love BackSeatNavigator! I always get a good laugh and so do my friends. The developer was gracious enough to have a one time inexpensive payment to remove ads. It’s worth every penny!

by StinkyOlePhart

It is an absolute delight to be told just how crappy my driving is. Quite a variety of insults🤪

GPS has gotten me where I wanted to go, and back several times. So far my only issue with directions is that it wants me to drive around the block when home is a quick left turn away.

Things that would be awesome:
Speed limit indicator - ala Apple maps
A speedometer. Just think of the nagging that could happen.
A “wandering Willy” detector. Jerky lane corrections should be detectable and could be another source of insults.
Ability to add a stop.

Overall, I like BackSeatNavigator and will recommend it to those without small children. Oh, I know the profanity can be turned off, but someone will turn it on and forget. Then an innocent (right) child will get an education.

Mr. King’s latest app embodies what we all say when other map apps do to us when they make us go down incorrect routings. I absolutely love the insults and the additional features I [deleted for Apple’s sake] love.

by SABiltongHunter

This is a great navigation app! It is powered by Mapbox, a great map service based on the OpenStreetMaps data, with live traffic data etc. The developer has been really helpful and responsive to my questions or ideas and I can see this becoming better and better with every release. The attitude just makes navigating fun, I don’t use the profanity, but the attitude makes me chuckle every time I hear it.... thanks for a great app, can’t wait to see where you take it!

by RubberDucke

This is the absolute best navigation app on the market. It’s funny as hell with the insults when you miss your turn or when it’s telling you when to make your turn. The profanity is the best. Just wish I could give it more than 5 ⭐️’s it well worth at least 10 ⭐️‘s

BackSeatNavigator is amazing. It's accurate, dependable, and HILARIOUS. I have literally burst out laughing while driving past my exit because a tiny car wouldn't let me over.
Thank you for BSnavigator!

by Al_Bundy33

It needs the ability to change the speed of the voice and maybe the pitch. And if possible change voices.

by Beyond Nauseated

You definitely don’t want grandma in the backseat when using BackSeatNavigator, might give her a heart attack! I was shocked but in tears laughing! If you are easily offended, this is not for you!😂

by Nosirrah13

Didn't think you could top What the Forecast, but you did! My commute home today was awesome, and I giggled the entire way. Of course I purposely made wrong turns so I could get insulted! Bravo!!!!
