In a webinar this week, jācapps announced it has created a new product called App Everywhere, where mobile apps for radio stations can now be coded to appear in automobiles that have Android Auto, SmartDeviceLink, and pending approval from Apple, their CarPlay system. jācapps President Paul Jacobs said, “For us, it’s always been about how radio could have presence on the beachfront property known as smartphones. Today, that valuable real estate includes the car dashboard.”
jācapps is in the process of releasing a beta app for Apple CarPlay for WMMR, the Greater Media-owned radio station in Philadelphia. The app is awaiting final approval and will be released in the iTunes app store soon as an update to their existing app. Videos showing how radio station apps appear in Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available by emailing jācapps at [email protected].
