AppsForMyCar

Everything you get, on one page

Every feature of LocalStore and your account that works today. Fleets means accounts set up for a business; everything else is for everyone, households and fleets. Some actions are for an account's owners and admins only.

Apps on the car

LocalStore is the app store on the car's own screen.

Google Play apps

Installed through Aurora Store, with a one-tap fix when an app says it isn't compatible.

Everyone

Apps we host

Installed and updated by LocalStore. Every file is checked against its signed fingerprint first.

Everyone

Tested in the car

Each app is marked tested and working, testing next, or doesn't work yet, with a star rating.

Everyone

Automatic updates

LocalStore and our hosted apps update themselves, only while the car is in Park. You can switch it off.

Everyone

Send an app to the car

Pick an app in your account and it installs on the car, or waits for a tap on the screen.

Everyone

Restore my apps

Backups of your app list. If a head-unit update removes apps, one tap puts them back.

Everyone

Head-unit update alert

An email when Geely updates the car's software, so you know to check your apps.

Everyone

Ask for an app

From the car or the website. Requests decide what we test next.

Everyone

Remove anything

Every app LocalStore installs can be removed from the same screen, and so can LocalStore.

Everyone

Drive page

Your saved places on the car's screen: one tap starts navigation.

Everyone

Remote control

From the Control page in your account, on a computer or your phone. The car needs to be awake and on Wi-Fi or a hotspot: the car's screen unit has no mobile data of its own.

Lock and unlock

Only in Park. Unlocking asks for your password or an emailed code every time, emails every owner, and locks again after 2 minutes if no door opens.

Everyone

Find the car

The car sends a fresh GPS position, shown on a map with its age.

Everyone

Keep the car on

Keeps the whole car on for 1 to 12 hours, then it goes to sleep as normal.

Everyone

Camping mode

The car's own quiet stay-online mode, with the screen dimmed to a clock. About 5–6 % of the battery per 12 hours with the aircon off; the aircon keeps running if you leave it on, and then uses far more.

Everyone

Camera snapshots

A picture from each outside camera, on request from your account. Only the outside cameras, never inside the car.

Everyone

Snapshot timeline

Instead of one picture at a time: a still from the cameras you choose, as often as every second or as rarely as every ten minutes, sent to your account. It tells you how much data that will use before you switch it on.

Everyone Being tested

Charging current and schedule

Set the charging current, and a charging schedule for each day of the week.

Everyone

Charge limit

Set a charge limit from 50 to 100 % for each car. The car's software has no such setting yet, so for now the car answers "not available on this car" and tells you so. It starts working the day a head-unit update adds it.

Everyone Waiting on the car

Saved car settings

Drive mode, regen, comfort and driver-assistance choices saved in your account and put back once each time the car is put into Drive, before it moves. Anything you change on the car after that is left alone. Emergency braking is always left to the car.

Everyone

When you park

On the car (off unless you turn it on), every time or just for your next park: when you put the car in Park after driving, it starts camping mode by itself so the car stays on and online, and turns the screen off when you get out or lock.

Everyone

Dashcam

Our own dashcam app, installed from your account like any other app we host. It needs a car with the 360° cameras, and a USB stick worth having: a slow stick is the one thing that spoils it.

Records while you drive

All four outside cameras at once, 1280×800 at 25 frames a second, in one-minute files with no gaps between them. A power cut loses a second or two, not the clip.

Everyone

Watches while parked

Lock the car and it keeps watching; unlock it and it goes back to recording the drive. It follows the car rather than the screen, so it carries on with the screen off.

Everyone

Speed and place on every clip

A subtitle file beside each clip with the time, speed, gear and GPS position once a second, so a clip tells you where you were and how fast. Switch it off if you would rather it did not.

Everyone

Looks after the USB stick

The oldest clips go first when the stick fills up. If the stick is unplugged, failing, or too slow to keep up, it records to the car's own storage instead and says which it is using, and moves those clips over to the stick later.

Everyone

Watch it on the car

The live four-camera view, and your clips with a four-up player, on the car's own screen.

Everyone

Switched from your account

Turn recording and parked watching on or off from the Control page, and see what it is doing now: recording or not, to the stick or to the car, and when it last saved a clip.

Everyone

Car status and alerts

What the car reports, on your dashboard and the car's own page.

Battery and charging

Battery %, range, charging or not and how fast, odometer.

Everyone

Doors, windows and locks

Locked or unlocked, which doors, boot, bonnet and windows are open, and whether the car is in use.

Everyone

Asleep or awake

When the car last checked in, and "Asleep since …" once it has gone to sleep.

Everyone

Dashboard

Every car as it is now, what needs your attention, and your week and month.

Everyone

Map

Every car that shares its location on one map.

Everyone

Add each car with a code from its screen. Every car's status, version and location in one place.

Everyone

Members and roles

Add people by email as owner, admin, driver or viewer.

Everyone

Fleets

Required apps

Apps installed on every car in the fleet.

Fleets

Lock the car's settings

Stop drivers removing apps, keep automatic updates on, and put a PIN on the Service page.
