I am definitely going to try this one.

its awsome, it does just what is says it does. my device is a Bold 9700. It reads email and sms. You can set it to only read SMS though.

I downloaded this software and it would not work telling me error that it is accessing some api. Would have been nice but after a review froma person at the download site, that really turned me off. "R"

 
 
Posted by jfsalewicz Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

ok I downloaded and I got this error when I tried to run
Error starting Drivesafely:Module 'DriveSafely' attempts to acess a secure API

any help with this??

I just downloaded it and got the same error. oh well

 
 
Posted by paulkalman Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

same thing, I am assuming it has trouble with my work microsoft exchange, a shame because this would have been a real useful application

If you really "find it near impossible to drive without checking emails or SMS on the road", then do us all a favor and either stop driving or get a handle on your addiction.

How many more people have to be injured or killed all because some selfish driver couldn't wait to answer the beep of an incoming message.

Check your priorities people.

I paid for the pro version and now, suddenly, it's stopped reading emails. Texts are fine - and so is the manual option...

I'm getting the same error. Too bad, looks like a very useful app..

 
 
Posted by Teddyp6 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I will try it out. Seems like it would be good for when you are in the middle of working on something and can't stop to check your messages. Its free so what the heck.

Same error I am running .230 WTF

 
 
Posted by Jarras Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Getting the same error on .167 here. Too bad, this looked like a nice little app to have.

 
 
Posted by paodomingo Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Ok I managed to fix that api error. Just download the app directly from their site. Here's the ota link. It works on my javelin os 5.0.

Drivesafe.ly link: http://www.DriveSafe.ly/d?b

 
 
Posted by Jarras Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

That worked, thanks!

 
 
Posted by paodomingo Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Glad I helped! :)

 
 
Posted by NU2BBWorld Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

thank you.. this link works

 
 
Posted by chynnamann Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

it gave me the same error and when I went to delete it, my applications took almost 2 mins to load. Slowed my BB down like an old windows computer.

 
 
Posted by coloringpoint Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

works great, had a little problem with the api but got it working. This will keep me a lot safer in the car because I already got a traffic violation ticket for talking on the phone. Now if I can only get an app that can do this for coloring books

 
 
Posted by fordracer Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

keep getting a secure api error when trying to access..

 
 
Posted by paodomingo Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Ok tried the app. It works great! :)

 
 
Posted by wojotiger Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

As paodomingo stated above, just go and download it directly from their site, works perfectly fine on my tour running .230

 
 
Posted by garment69 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Getting the API access error on .230.

 
 
Posted by paodomingo Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Read my previous comment on how to fix that error. :) crackberry app store should fix their ota link lol.

 
 
Posted by aeldes1 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Why does it read out the number and not the name of the person!? (for sms)

And it should wait till the phone stops ringing before talking. Or just plain stop the ring tone by itself when it's ready

 
 
Posted by Barack_Oberry Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I WRECKED MY CAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS CRAPPY APPLICATION!

You need to relearn how to behave on the road. actually you should lose your driving licence because you don't deserve it

 
 
Posted by ICEMAN9 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I get an error message popping up when I try to start the application. It states: Error starting DriveSafely: Module 'DriveSafely' attempts to access a secure API. What does this mean?

 
 
Posted by ICEMAN9 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

got it working now, time to test it

great little app! Fantastic potential! Toooooo buggy...stops reading randomly until battery pull.

Good luck!

 
 
Posted by asggold Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I have downloaded the app, updated all the settings, but when I turned on the app and sent a test message nothing happens? Does this app track speed somehow to only turn on when going a certain speed? Otherwise, not sure what this app does because it does not seem to read anything!

 
 
Posted by asggold Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

after a battery pull!

 
 
Posted by i4get75 Saturday, Sep 26, 2009 869 days ago

Are you sure it's on? You should have a RED ON button showing. I made this mistake also and clicked it, thinking I had to click it to turn it on. Make sure the button is RED and all options are checked...should work like a charm.

 
 
Posted by KWesty317 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I have to open it, then hit menu, read w/ drive safely...

Does the free version maybe not auto-ready them? It works if I ask it to read, but I thought this was an automatic thing. It says "Hands Free - No need to touch the phone while driving"

Am I missing a setting?

 
 
Posted by KWesty317 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

It wasn't turned "on"! it was just running in the backgroud.

 
 
Posted by wighed Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

What they don't tell you, is that the app emails back a reply to the sender, letting them know that you heard the email read out loud, and then points to the dl link.

That's sneaky.

DELETED

 
 
Posted by AFriske Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I saw this and turned off autoreply in the Advanced Settings

 
 
Posted by ScottPV Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

It is working (sort of) on my Storm. But it is too loud and I can't get the volume down. Also it will only read the sender name, subject and first few lines.

 
 
Posted by Sexy NJ Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Go under settings. The default is 90, just drop it down.

 
 
Posted by Sexy NJ Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

It did not read the full message and also did what Wighed said although I turned it off. I deleted it too....

 
 
Posted by bw839 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

It works well, I am considering purchasing, but but 3.95/month or 13.95/lifetime of device is a bit high for me. Maybe I am just cheap.

 
 
Posted by seanp666 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Id pay for this if the premium version alowed you to send emails and sms by talking into the phone...thats the biggest problem..not reading them but typing them. Is there an app out there that lets you send sms by talking?

 
 
Posted by sefiroh Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

vlingo does that. i think thats what its called.

 
 
Posted by wighed Saturday, Sep 26, 2009 869 days ago

I'll second that on vlingo. It does do that.
Even the free version lets you do that, except it won't actually send the email or text. But it's very accurate.

The two combined might be a practical combo.

 
 
Posted by JReek Saturday, Sep 26, 2009 869 days ago

yes vlingo

 
 
Posted by SouthernSaltine Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

This is the best thing ever!
Works perfect on my storm.
I will defiantly be buying the full ver.

 
 
Posted by Xopher Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I'm a big fan of this app. I've been using it since the beta was released and find it very useful to have e-mails and SMS messages read to me.
It still has a lot of quirks (like reading HTML e-mails), and I haven't been able to get it to work with bluetooth yet. If you tell the software to ignore profiles, it seems to read automatically without any problems - I haven't had it read properly when the profile option is set.

For just being released, it is a very good addition. It still has some room for improvement that will hopefully come soon. :)

 
 
Posted by flyersfan76 Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

On my storm the keyboard is always up when I open the program. Both in and out of compatibility mode. How do I get this off? Thanks

 
 
Posted by MegletTX Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

Stupid question...when it is RED and says ON does that mean it's on or does that mean click to turn it on?

Otherwise I'm pretty excited about this, my mom has a habit of texting me while I'm driving and then freaking out because I didn't get back to her ASAP. Now I can have it auto send her a text that I'm driving and will get back to her as well as have her text read to me so I know if there's an emergency and need to call. :)

 
 
Posted by AFriske Friday, Sep 25, 2009 870 days ago

I have the same question regarding the red on button.

Also, it reads the txts wonderfully when I manually open one with "read with drivesafe.ly" but I am struggling to get it to auto-read with the Tour.
