What you can do

Pick a place, pick a mood, and let Simon make the drive more fun.

The app works best when it feels easy to jump into. You can start a normal drive, ask Explore for a nearby idea, change Simon's tone, or dial the challenge up or down depending on how silly you want the trip to be.

Drive

Start a trip fast

Search, map state, recent places, and quick actions are all right there so it feels easy to get moving.

Play

Explore nearby fun

Tap into categories like Delicious, Fun, On My Way, Open Now, or Good for Kids when you want a destination picked for you.

Voice

Choose Simon's vibe

Classic, Snarky, and Polite Simon make the same route feel different, and prompt frequency lets you keep it lively or keep it calm.

Control

Tune the challenge

Change detours, route preferences, challenge intensity, and safety filters so the ride matches your mood and your plans.

Inside the app

Voice and Explore are easy to reach when you want them.

Voice and game settings showing personalities and prompt frequency

Personality settings keep it fun.

Swap personalities, change how chatty Simon gets, and preview the tone so the ride stays funny without becoming too much.

Detour controls

Radius, open-now defaults, and suggestion count keep playful recommendations inside useful limits.

Explore safety settings for kid-friendly and accessibility preferences

Safety filters

Kid-friendly, accessibility, alcohol-avoidance, and adult-content filters help explain how Explore can stay responsible.

Profile-aware routing

Vehicle and trip profile settings show that the routing system is designed to grow beyond one fixed use case.

Simon Challenge Mode settings with calmer roads and challenge intensity

Challenge tuning

Challenge mode and route-calming toggles make the premise legible: fun route variety, but still bounded and sane.

How the loop works

Pick a stop. Set the mood. Let Simon guide the ride.

Whether you want a normal trip with a little extra personality or a more playful detour-heavy run, the app gives you a simple loop: choose where to go, decide how mischievous Simon should be, and start driving.

Choose a stop

Search directly or let Explore suggest a nearby place based on what sounds good right now.

Set Simon's vibe

Pick a personality, prompt frequency, and challenge level that fit the kind of drive you want.

Enjoy the trip

Follow the route, enjoy the prompts, and let the app add just enough chaos to make the drive memorable.

More ways to tune the trip

There are plenty of controls when you want a calmer route or a sillier one.

The settings screens already show a lot of thoughtful control: route styles, detour limits, transport profiles, hands-free options, confirmation steps, and filters that help keep Explore useful for different kinds of outings.

For everyday drives

Keep things straightforward with calmer roads, lighter prompts, and tighter detour bounds.

For playful rides

Turn up mischief, try a different Simon, and leave room for a side quest when you feel like wandering.
