If you use your iPhone or iPod touch to listen to music in the car, PlaySafe might just save your life!

PlaySafe is designed to make using your iPhone or iPod touch easier to operate when driving (and therefore safer). We’ve made the whole screen 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.

If you do decide to sneak a look at the screen you won’t be disappointed – PlaySafe looks great too. It’s 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.

PlaySafe works in both portrait and landscape modes so it doesn’t matter how you mount your phone.

The first thing to do is to choose what you want to listen to on your journey – please do this before you start driving! Just click on the ‘tunes’ button in the bottom left of the screen and add songs to your playlist exactly as you would with your iPod app.

Play/Pause
Just tap the screen anywhere (apart from the narrow control strip at the bottom) to start and stop the track. The Pause icon will stay on screen for as long as the music is paused.

Next/Previous track
Swipe to the left for the next track or to the right for the previous one – just as if you were scrolling through albums in coverflow.
