The DriveMode app helps prevent distractions while driving. The app silences incoming calls and text messages, and can automatically reply with a message that you are driving and cannot respond immediately.
The project involved refreshing the visual style of an older Android version, along with a completely new iOS app. Integration of new features such as Parental Alerts and an Auto-On mode, as well as usability improvements required modifications to the existing interaction design.
Key elements for the project:
* Shorten the setup from 5 steps to one
* Solve for technical and UX differences between the 2 OS's
* Simple and minimal interactions to prevent distractions
DriveMode was named the best distracted driving app by USA Today, and has an estimated 6 million installs and 2 million active users.
