Following the successful launch of Safecellapp for the
iPhone, the Company said the mobile application solution to avoid distracted
driving is available for 98 percent of smart phones using Android OS.
Safecellapp for Android is a mobile application that
has been designed to automatically disable phone, email, and messaging
functions, push local cell phone laws, alert drivers entering school zones, and
pay safe drivers back with cash rewards at their favorite retailers, the
company said.
"The problem is not that they are unaware of the
dangers of distracted driving. It's that they can't resist the temptation once
they are on the road," says Scott Taylor, Safecellapp co-founder and CIO.
"Our app takes that temptation away, allowing drivers to make a good
choice before they pull out of the driveway," adds Taylor.
Safecellapp is an application that will push current
laws in place for users' locations by using GPS technology and a proprietary
database of federal, state, county, and city cell phone usage laws. Safecellapp
features Continuous Visual Advisory capability, a function that issues
real-time alerts to drivers entering locations with local restrictions on text
or cell phone usage.
Safecellapp offers cash-equivalent rewards for safe
driving behavior. The application activates when the device is traveling at speeds
in excess of 5 m.p.h. Using proprietary, web-based tracking and logging
mechanisms, Safecellapp records trip details including the driver's phone,
email and text usage. These reports, which can be accessed by users, parents,
or companies to monitor driving behavior, become the basis for a gaming feature
that awards points for safe driving that are redeemable for cash rewards at
retailers. Users will accrue 1 point for every 1 mile driven while adhering to
all applicable wireless laws in their location(s).
Failure to comply with local laws will cost users
reward points, giving individuals, families, and employees yet another
motivation to play it safe while behind the wheel. The rewards program includes
more than 2,000 different products that users can redeem their Safecellapp
driving rewards points for including Ecerts, Gift Cards, Charitable Donations,
and Merchandise. Retail partners include Apple, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and
many more.
"While the reward program with Safecellapp will
be attractive to everyone, the hope is that it's a program that finally offers
drivers an incentive to refrain from distracted driving behavior. It keeps you
safe, legal, and pays you back," said Tina Pantoja, Safecellapp co-founder
and president.
