I vaguely remember one of my cars supporting AA and I disabled it because I saw no benefit. Either it's not very intuitive or the apps I prefer to use don't integrate with AA.
I am not sure how it could be much more intuitive, at least from a touch screen perspective. It's just a touch interface with an app drawer, nothing much more to it than that. However, if it wasn't a touch screen I could believe it not being very nice to use, as I have a friend that has an Audi that does CarPlay but the screen isn't touch, so he had to use physical buttons to use the interface. THAT is definitely not good.
As for the apps, I use Signal, WhatsApp, Messages, Spotify, YT Music, Waze, and Google Maps and they all support AA, so at least for my purposes it does what I need from a car apps interface standpoint.
Other than Maps I use none of the apps you mentioned. Guess I'm not their target market.
What apps were you hoping for it to support?
