I am having two issues with the app.
1) when I am using it for navigation there is what I can only refer to as an echo in the voice. When it gives directions there is a doubling of the voice. I dont know how else to describe it. It is very annoying.

2) when it gives directions it pauses the music if I am listening to music from my phone. If I am listening to Sirius or FM radio it does not cut the music while giving the directions. This is what I want. I dont want the music cut out. It use to just lower the music or only play it from the rear speakers. Why has this changed. Again very annoying.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S21 and the car is a 2018 Subaru crosstrek

what head unit do you have?
 
it could be that you are dealing with old software in your 2018 stock radio and your much newer s21. you can only troubleshoot on your phone side by clearing cache for any apps that the radio uses when they are connected. if clearing cache does not work, you can try rebooting the phone. if that does not work then you might want to consider doing a factory reset. if all that fails to fix the issue, then you might want to start looking into getting a new radio.....or learn to deal with the issues.
