Ratings and reviews

This app allows you to drive safely and still communicate with others. The only thing I didn't like was that when it sends a text out it sends a message and link for the app. At first it was fine but when the same person gets the link and message after ever text it starts to get frustrating and annoying. It's too much when you have to keep scrolling just looking for a specific message and see that all the links are taking up so much space. It would be fine for 1 per phone number or person but 1 for every message is just way too much. If that could be fixed or minimized then I would definitely rate 5 stars.

Absolutely had to find something that would read my texts since I'm on the road for long periods of time. Biggest annoyance is the inconsistence of the auto engage. Just now, sitting on my sofa, it turned on. Yesterday, i was on the interstate for 30min before it came on. Happens too often. The other features work really well, but i tend to use my Google Assistant for the navigation and call manager. The interface is easily navigable and cool looking. The sounds are crisp and fun.

This is the best and closest alternative to Cortana with Windows Mobile out there. It will start automatically when you connect to the Bluetooth of your choice (so if you have a headset it won't start!), and it will automatically read your incoming text messages if you want, and you can respond via voice commands. This is something that other apps (unless your car was designed to work with those apps) like Android Auto and Samsung Auto couldn't do but worked immediately from this app.
