DriveSafe.ly: Reads your emails and text messages - for free

[Joolie]

Has anyone here tried the free application DriveSafe.ly (http://www.drivesafe.ly/)? I tried it out and the only thing it's missing is the ability to read Instant Messages (I am a huge BBM user).

Here is what it can do:

Reads your text messages and emails out loud in real time
Hands Free - No need to touch the phone while driving
One-touch activation - no complicated setup
Bluetooth and radio transmitter compatible
Reads text message shorthand (lol, brb)
Optional customizable auto-responder

You can download it from this link http://www.drivesafe.ly/download to give it test drive, uh...with both hands on the wheel.

I thought it was awesome. I've been using it a couple of weeks.

eh, maybe i need to give this one another shot... i had it like a month or so ago and DEPSISED IT. perhaps its just bc my husband's work email address ALWAYS sends a return receipt, even though i have it turned off... i dunno, just took forever it seemed, and i didnt need to hear it read through the 97different dumb things on there ;)

Nice... I will download it and see how it works!

I did not like that it automatically signed me up to follow them on twitter and facebook! I also had it turned off--I swore, I don't get behind the wheel often here in the city, but it still would have been useful--and it mysteriously turned itself back on and started reading to me VERY loudly.

Maybe I'll give it a second chance if there's a big drive in my immediate future.

This is one of my favorite apps, I use it when I am driving or if I am cooking, attending plants, or caring for my elderly MIL and need to have my hands free. My husband uses it all day, everyday- he loves it. :)
