Familiarity

Pretty Widgets

The play store is full of widgets – the handy displays on the desktop that are more than just a shortcut. The images above show a weather widget that includes the time on the screen. Nova will accept and show any play widgets that come with Android and are available on Play, from calendars to fitness apps.

Apps

Apps are displayed as icons, just like the phone, which makes switching from phone to headunit very smooth. The app icons can be arranged, re-arranged, organized, and grouped. You can even order the apps in similar locations on the screen as your phone.

Pretty wallpaper

The desktop images in the example above are from an app called Scenery Wallpaper which are standard phone wallpaper desktops in landscape mode, ideal for an Android headunit.
