[App] Drivemode – Driving Interface

Drivemode is a driving app with a “no look” interface that allows you to focus on the road ahead, not your phone, while accessing music, navigation, calls, texts and more. The beauty of Drivemode is that it works in any car, eliminating the need for a pricey upgrade, and it is free. When you are in driving mode, it works with your navigation apps, like Google Maps and Waze and your music apps, like Spotify and Google Music Player. With Drive mode, it is easy to do things like change songs, update your destination and make or accept calls using only broad swipes and taps.

It’s so intuitive and simple that you could use the Drivemode app for Android while blindfolded, but don’t try that while driving- CNET www.cnet.com/products/drivemode-driving-interface/
Drivemode has developed an Android app that lets you use your phone without actually looking at it. – Techcrunch on.tcrn.ch/l/YxJ2

As you get used to it, you would be able to use the app without looking at the screen. The driving mode utilizes a combination of voice narration, bright colors and large animation to let you use your phone screen using only your peripheral vision. It especially works well when you have a car mount or car dock on your dashboard, but those are not required.

We are continually working to add new features to Drivemode. Please reach out to us directly at help[at]drivemode.com if you have any feedback or questions, we would love to hear from you!

Drivemode user reviews :

Excellent update Addition of option to not auto-boot into GPS was a must have. Now you can load without navigation and still have all the call handling and txt response at your fingertips!

Impressed so far I had an issue, the developer responded within 12 hours with an update that solved it. Played around with the app and it seems useful, haven’t used it while driving yet but I anticipate I’ll like it quite a bit.
