About V1 Companion

**FEATURING - GPS location based 'false muting' via one of the best app systems called SpotLocks™

Excellent! CarPlay???

I have been using V1 Companion for a few weeks now and I think it’s great! What could make it greater though? The only thing that I would suggest is possibly making it CarPlay compatible so that my phone doesn’t have to be on the whole entire time. But great job!
