Comments on Drivemode: Handsfree Messages for Android

★★★★★ Love the app use a lot when I'm in my car, but recently it randomly opens when I'm at work or sitting in my house saying it seems that you are driving when I'm sitting on my couch or at my desk at work don't get it...

★★★★★ I have used this app in its early stages and I really liked it. Now using it again, I'm amazed how it has developed. It's smoother to use, has great integration with apps I like to use when driving such as navigation, music, answering calls and text messages. Simple to use. And what's even greater is it's still free. Thanks and great job on these developers! 💯

★★★★★ I love it. I've tried Android auto and drive mode, I think it's the best.

★★☆☆☆ Helpful, had this app for a long time, but lately it is continuously launching when my watch connects even though I change the setting at auto launch with Bluetooth device to not auto launch with my watch. It keeps changing back! Very annoying. Otherwise, awesome app. Frustrated as the reading text messaging settings are messed up, and it reads everything then asks if you want it read. It also keeps saying every 15 seconds that you are sharing live location. No setting to fix that. Uninstalled.

★★☆☆☆ This app is so heavily riddled with bugs that it's hard to believe it's even available for use. AutoLaunch/AutoShutdown are a complete nightmare! Thinks I'm driving, when I'm not and doesn't bother starting when I am driving, even though it's setup up to start when it connects to my Bluetooth.
