Why you should install CarPlay Clubhouse App

carplay clubhouse app - why to have clubhouse on carplay

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 listen without talking
  • Explore and join thousands of rooms that 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.
