SCION BESPOKE app is live for download

Hi, I found the SCION BeSpoke app on the apple app store. Note how it is not available at the droid store.

Download and enjoy

Played around with it for a sec. Seems like it does everything whether you have the HU or not. Gonna test it out tonight on my way home from work. Hopefully the HU can offer more, otherwise what's the point.

Yeah it's not on the Play Store (Android Market)... Forget about bespoke for me then. I'll go aftermarket.

Android > Apple.

Edit: Wow these are under $800!

I downloaded it, and not going to lie, its a bit lame, UI needs work. Facebook and Twitter integration is pretty cool, but the navigation portion is HORRIBLE!

Just get their Appradio2 with an MSRP of $600, all the functionality of bespoke without any of the markup.

For any of you that have been playing with this, any thoughts on the NAV? I keep seeing it referred to in Scion documentation as POI "routing" (their quotes). Does that mean it doesn't do real P2P routing and maybe doesn't do turn by turn?

I suppose I shouldn't care since I don't have an iPhone but the geeky side of me is too curious.

That's odd, I don't see it...

It's really lame actually. I tried using it for a couple of days and just gave up. The radio stations it uses have really poor quality audio, and if you switch to the higher quality ones the connection cant keep up with the amount of data it needs to download. All of which works just fine when im using RDIO or Spotify or hell even downloading music off the Apple Cloud.

I didnt play too much with the map, mostly cuz i dont need something to tell me how to get to work. But also cuz it didnt seem super intuitive. It's not doing anything that 1000 other apps i have or can get dont already do. I think Moto said it in another post, but it's basically just a mirror screen for your iPhone. Definitely not worth 800$, hell i don't think its worth anything, unless it can show me it can do something else.

There's a couple of threads discussing replacements in this section. Here's one.

Pioneer App radio is not the same as Bespoke. Bespoke runs ZYPR and does not work with Android yet. App Radio 2 works with Android and does not use ZyPR.
