Why you should install CarPlay Clubhouse App

Clubhouse is one of the most famous social networking platforms which is based on audio.

Currently, Clubhouse allows you the following features:

• Host rooms of your own and create sessions on anything you want.
• To follow your favorite speakers
• Talk with amazing people all over the world
• Brush up knowledge by joining public sessions
• The ability of just listening without talking
• Explore and join thousands of rooms which suits you

Considering these features, I thoroughly recommend Clubhouse as an Apple CarPlay app.

Reasons to suggest Clubhouse as a CarPlay app

• There are options to just listen to the sessions without talking. This is rather similar to listening to a radio channel. And Apple has not restricted radio channels for CarPlay.
• Also talking via Clubhouse does not demand visuals and there is a very low possibility of distracting the user. So, you can simply speak in Clubhouse while paying 100%of your eye on the roads.
• As there is a feature to leave rooms quietly, you can leave ongoing rooms without disturbing others. So if you feel a particular Clubhouse session disturbs you you can simply leave it.
• Moreover, joining the rooms and speaking is really easy as it takes only a single tap.
• Furthermore, Clubhouse sends you notifications once a person you follow is talking and when a session is started from a room you are following. So you do not need to worry about finding the matching sessions while driving.
