———————————————————————————
I have just used ABRP for a major trip for the first time with live data and android auto support. While the app was invaluable, the experience was quite frustrating due to a variety of bugs/crashes and also due to poor performance of ABRP overall in this configuration.

We tried running ABRP with Android Auto on both a Sony Xperia XZ1 compact (Snapdragon 835 with 4GB RAM) and a Pixel 6 (8GB RAM) and in both cases we had to reboot either ABRP or the whole phone multiple times a day due to app eventually slowing to a crawl or stopping working entirely. Even with a fresh reboot the performance is pretty sluggish, but it was mostly usable as long as I didn't launch anything else (such as a web browser) on the target phone. Starting any other apps would cause more frequent hangs/issues only resolved by a reboot.

The issues are bad enough that it would drive me to use another app for this sort of functionality if one existed; I don't know if there are memory leaks or other issues with the app itself, the android auto implementation or other aspects, but spending some development time on optimization would do a lot to make the app more pleasant and reliable to use.
