I have to agree that drivesafe.ly is a very good app but the company behind it has horrible customer service. If everything works for you, thats great but if they over charge your credit card you almost have to take them to court to get the charges reversed. For a company as big as they are to be as weak as they are in the customer support side, that worries me just a little. That’s my two cents worth.

Yes, it’s doing that for me, too. And I can no longer find it in the Android Market via search or via Barcode Scanner.

I saw that!! That IS shady. I went right to Facebook an “unliked” it and unsubscribed to the RRS feed.
Then I went back to my phone and uninstalled.

After all this I went back and reinstalled but
VERY CAREFULLY- unchecked the Twitter and Facebook option at the very bottom of the opening splash screen before hitting accept.

Truly a sneaky thing to do.

WARNING! SHADY! When you install this app, without ANY warning or confirmation, it goes behind your back and follows Drifesafe.ly on Twitter and likes it on Facebook. Creepy!

I don’t know if you have found out any information on why it opens up some programs, but when you first install and have to agree to the Terms Of Service there is a little check box below the “Agree” button that asks if you would like to follow them on facebook or Twitter. Maybe if you have that selected it opens up the required programs to get updates from them. All of this is just a guess though.

This is a great app for blackberry, since it can read emails from exchange acccounts. However on Android, it can only read emails from
Imap and Pop3 accounts. (as per their tech support emails I had with them)
So on Android, you need to have your exchange email forwarding to a pop3 account if your hell bent on using this app.
Otherwise if your ok with it just reading your pop3 and imap emails, its great.
The voice is clear and can be set to read it fast.
I paid for this app when I had a Blackberry Storm 9530, and it worked great.
But the experience with this same app on Android is not as great.
due to the lack of exchange support.

Still its a great app for safety reasons, as well as convenience.
I recommend paying for this app because it can save your life.
Because your hearing your email, with eyes up on the road.
NOT LOOKING DOWN AT YOUR PHONE.
Verizon should make this app standard software for all their smartphones.

I would also like to mention that when this app is started it starts up my Twidroid app, music (probably to play back any audio within text message)among other things (like calender, camera). Just so you are aware. Why does it start Twidroid? Good question. Anyone know if it will read your tweets too? Maybe they are going to expand it to do that as well. Who knows.

App works well so far. Not mentioned in the review is that the pro version with features like speaking more than 25 words, etc. costs $13.95 US (Android). One time fee though so I’ll check out the free version for a bit then see if it’s worth paying for extra features.

This app is pretty neat. Tried it for the first time today. I thought it was pretty easy to use.
