Sidecar App's CarPlay Browser and Video Playback Feature Discontinued, Refunds Offered

The Sidecar app, which introduced a web browser and video player for CarPlay, is removing these features at Apple's request due to App Store guidelines. The company emphasized that the features were designed with safety in mind, only allowing use while the vehicle was stationary. Customers who purchased the 'park and watch' feature for $9.99 can request a refund through the Sidecar app. For those still interested in using video on their car's built-in screen when parked, alternative solutions like adapters that run Android apps are suggested. This decision highlights Apple’s strict control over CarPlay features and user requests for more functionality.
