About APPS2Car
APPS2Car is a car-mount and charging brand operated by Dongguan Jinchi Electronic Technology, a hardware manufacturer based in Dongguan, China, that also sells under the name A2C. The company says it was started by a hardware engineer after a poor-quality car mount failed during a highway drive, and its catalog since has centered on cup holder, air vent, suction cup, gooseneck, and magnetic/MagSafe mounts, many paired with Qi wireless charging. It sells both direct through its own storefront and on Amazon, where its cup holder and wireless charging mounts have accumulated tens of thousands of combined customer ratings.
The brand's mounting designs have picked up third-party design recognition, including an iF Design Award, a MUSE Design Award, and a Red Dot Award: Product Design for its bike mount series, and it has drawn coverage from outlets like Motorcycle.com and TheGadgetFlow. Rather than a single flagship product, APPS2Car's range spans multiple mounting methods, including mounts built for specific vehicle vent shapes, which gives drivers a fit-based alternative when a universal clamp mount does not sit well in their particular interior.

APPS2Car products we rated highly
APPS2Car 15W Qi Fast Wireless Car Charger Solid Cup Holder Phone Mount
This cup holder mount's base expands to fit 3 to 4 inch cup holders, the range that covers most trucks and SUVs where deep, wide holders can defeat smaller expanding bases. It skips a motor entirely in favor of a manual one-touch release, so there is no sensor to misread a hand and no motor to seize up or stop working if the socket loses power. In our testing, that solid cup holder base held up as the sturdiest mounting method on a page full of vent and dash options, and with around 1,158 ratings at 4.4 stars, the design has been in the field long enough to build a real track record.
