SafeDrive

I've been a big fan of SafeDrive ever since it first launched on the BlackBerry 10 platform in early 2013. Since then it's had numerous updates to make it the best experience possible and if you tend to spend a lot of time in the car this one should be of interest.

If you've not come across SafeDrive before it's an application that will read aloud your emails and SMS, so if your BlackBerry does give off an alert you don't need to read the message - just listen instead.

The app has several options within the settings including the ability to choose which part of the message is read out and also how much of it. A nice touch, especially if you just want to filter down those important emails and not listen to all of a spam one.

The developer of SafeDrive had kindly given us 500 copies to pass onto you folk. As usual, they get snapped up pretty quickly so you'll need to be fast.

Update - Seeing as the first 500 went so fast there are another 500 extra copies are being requested
