I'm sure the first question on your mind is why is AP reviewing a car stereo? Two words: Android app. Basically every aspect of the controlFREQ from Scosche ($119, scosche.com) can be controlled from the companion Android app (there's also an iOS version, but neither is required for the player to work) – or at least that's the claim being made here, anyway. The execution is, let's just say, less than perfect.
Since the stereo itself is nothing to write home about, we're going to focus primarily on the app and how it functions with the controlFREQ, as well as where it could be improved (spoiler: nearly everywhere).
