PlaySafe is an application that allows you to drive safely with your iPhone or iPod Touch and operate it safely. The whole screen is one giant button so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road and search for tiny icons. You can easily control your music with simple finger gestures without even looking at the screen! Just tap anywhere on the screen to start or stop the music or swipe sideways to skip to the next or previous tracks.

It has a minimal interface leaves plenty of room for your cover artwork to shine. Touching the screen causes huge on-screen icons to fade in and out so you can tell at a glance what you’re doing. The track information is displayed in a large font which intelligently scales so you won’t have to squint. PlaySafe looks great even if you don’t have any album cover art – the default display looks better than some of the covers in our collections anyway. Just tap anywhere on the screen to start or stop the music or swipe sideways to skip to the next or previous tracks.
One thing to add though is that PlaySafe is great if you want to just drive and listen to iPod music on your device. If you want to use your device as a navigation device, then PlaySafe will stop your navigation running. This isn’t a limitation in PlaySafe but a limitation in the iPhone/iPod Touch not allowing mutliple third-party applications to run at the same time. Just worth a mention!
