LifeSaver - Distracted Driving for Android
I love the idea of the app being used to prevent drivers from using their phones. However, I tried using it for a couple days, and it didn't always work. Sometimes I checked to see if it was working and it was. Other times I looked down on my phone and the app wasn't doing anything; I was still able to use all the functions of my phone. If the bugs get fixed I can see this being a great app to help us drivers stay off of our phones.
This app was very easy to install, it only took a few minutes. It sent a confirmation code to my phone, which I typed in, accepted the terms and conditions, hit the home button and was ready to go! The home screen is very simple and easy-to-use and I had no glitches or issues. Over all, this is an awesome app, I highly recommend it!
Easy install, sent code, easy to use! Favorite part is the family travel and I can add my family, perfect when I'm driving to a sketchy area, and its extra safe to have someone know my location thankful when in an area like L.A.!
Doesn't work. Asks for registration using mobile number, I get the code txt'd to me, enter it, and the app crashes. Tried it 3 times and no good, so uninstalling. Sorry.
Used up 17% of battery during 1 hour drive.
Great app for such an important cause.
It definitely helps with when I drive to not be distracted. Thanks!
Easy to install. easy to use. High quality stuff right here
Great app! Easy to use!!
Awesome!
Very easy to use, but incredibly easy to bypass by any teen who doesn't want to it. Needs to install as device admin. User can go to settings & force LS off with no text notice. While driving, press Home button & make a call. Once call has started, LS allows it with no text notice. If the screen turns off while driving, when stopped, I turn on the phone, & LS is not on, so I can start a call or text while stopped at a stop light. Also, I use a different maps app, which is not allowed by LS.
This app is very useful, I have tried many apps like this such as the AT&T Drive Mode app, and I have found the LifeSavers app to work incredibly better. LifeSavers app is easy to use, and a useful tool to help eliminate distractions while driving. 5 stars!
This APP is great and provides peace of mind for parents of newly licensed teen drivers!!!. Best of all, the APP is free and provides the same type of service that many other companies require you to pay for. The APP provides notifications for a parent through email and/or text to let you know when the driver has departed and arrived at a location and prevents the driver from beiong able to use the phone to send or receive text messages while the car is being operated. It has a feature that permits the driver to bypass the lock feature in an emergency or when they are a passnger in another vehicle. The company is very responsive and receiptive to feedback and is constantly making improvents to the APP.!!!
Great app addressing the far too common problem of distracted driving. Seems to work fine for me, easy to use.

Does not work on HTC One M8 marshmellow.
Anyone with an IQ above 20 can disable it, don't bother downloading
Kills my battery too fast. Not many people I know have WiFi in their cars so battery fix while on WiFi is useless. Uninstalling sadly.
It seems like a really useful app, but I haven't been able to use it yet. Since I downloaded this app about an hour its messed with my default home screen and even though I've constantly been setting my default as TouchWiz every time I close out my open apps and then go to a new app it will ask me my default home screen again. I was really excited to use this tomorrow driving around,but I have to uninstall for now.
Would love to try, but won't download all the way.
Love the accountability it provides. Works and runs great.
The app rarely ever engages, and the few times it did, it didn't actually record any data (drive time)
Tried it for a few days. It's a good app, but it drains the life out of your battery. I have to uninstall this app. Maybe once the issue has been resolved, I may reinstall it at that time.
This is such a great app for parents. I think it's so easy to maintain and make sure your kids aren't being put in unnecessary danger by texting and driving!
Installed and had It on my phone for less than 24 hours. It drained my battery because it constantly searched GPS and when I shut GPS off it sent me like 75 text messages telling me to enable GPS. I'm thoroughly annoyed.
Excellent app!
Ok...I love the app...HOWEVER I'm still hearing notifications when texts come in. Does it not turn those off? If not, I'm installing.
Still has issues mine wouldn't work for a whole hr. Also hate auto message I know I can change it but I'll reply to people when I want to and I don't want a device to respond. Especially if I'm expecting an important message.
Working well ... 1st day.. DID Lock while seated in my office - but they are still working on the APP.
The app is braindead. It just keeps checking my location. My battery was dead in a couple of hours. Useless!!!
So let me get this straight only the top 4 drivers get rewards doesn't seem fair competing with people that drive more than you everybody has different driveing habits for instance truck drivers so all it takes is four truck drivers and presto they win
App has been helping me a lot. I got some fuel rewards just for using it. Great way to keep me from texting and driving and helps me spread the word. Can't figure out how to purchase it...it just stopped working today (I think my 30 days is up) To jrhgh: anybody can get rewards. If you notice on the information button ("I"), you'll see that it's entirely based how many points you get and that when you're in the top four you just get extra rewards. So, 1000 points will get you roughly $10.
This app seemed really promising, but it will lock when I'm sitting still, not lock at 60 mph, and the passenger unlock feature never works. It definitely needs some work done on it.
App only is on for a limited time each day. When app is on, walking across the room will cause it to lock. Not effective for my needs.
a ok
Great app to have and really makes a difference. The app is well laid out, easy to use, and works great on my phone. Texting and driving is so dangerous, I'm glad to there is an app like this to help. Thanks developer!
This app is well made... and saves lives at the same time! Also, keeps me from getting those expensive texting and driving tickets! (Especially here in California)
Locks quickly and unlocks quickly too. Works way better than the other apps out there. I went all day today without having to charge my battery even after driving with the app locked for 2 hours.. Nice work with the GPS and conserving battery life.
Great idea! Very user friendly and suits its intended purpose. I am pleasantly surprised that it makes a difference in my texting and driving behavior. I would definitely recommend this to a friend! Also, works well on my battery life ;)
