ZoomSafer Announces Launch of MobileSafer
First safe driving software for mobile professionals integrates with in-vehicle Bluetooth systems to ensure safe, legal and responsible use of smartphones while driving
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ZoomSafer, the leading provider of smartphone software to prevent distracted driving, today announced the commercial availability of its latest product, MobileSafer.
MobileSafer is the first safe driving solution specifically designed for mobile professionals. Easy-to-use software for your smartphone, MobileSafer eliminates the temptation to text, email, or browse while driving, but keeps you connected to the business world via your in-vehicle hands-free services and accessories.
Texting and emailing while driving is now illegal in 30 states and the District of Columbia, and 8 of those states plus the District of Columbia also require the use of hands-free systems when operating a mobile phone while driving. MobileSafer automatically turns on “safe drive mode” whenever users connect with their in-vehicle Bluetooth system or accessory, locking the phone’s screen and keypad to ensure that drivers are compliant with current legislation before they even take their vehicle out of park.
"Research clearly shows that our hyper-connected society has difficulty making good decisions behind the wheel of a car, so MobileSafer was designed to eliminate the dangerous temptations to text and email while driving while still allowing the user to be connected,” said Matt Howard, CEO of ZoomSafer. "MobileSafer ensures the use of hands-free services and automatically responds on drivers’ behalves with customized replies to incoming messages letting others know they are driving and will respond later.”
“As a real estate agent, staying in touch in with my clients is critical. With ZoomSafer, I am not only safe and legal while driving but I’m also still connected – I take my phone calls hands-free and because the software automatically responds to text and emails my clients know I am driving but will get back to them shortly. My clients appreciate the rapid response as well as my social responsibility to not text and drive,” said Joseph Evans, Columbus, Ohio, REMAX Town Center-Sales agent.
MobileSafer is $2.99 per month or $25 per year and can be downloaded directly from the ZoomSafer website or via BlackBerry App World or Handmark. MobileSafer software works on BlackBerry smartphones running 4.2.1 OS and higher, and will soon be available for Windows Mobile and Android phones. For users who want to listen and reply to their email and text messages while driving, VoiceMate is available for an additional $3.99 per month.
