There's no shortage of apps designed to thwart texting while driving (TWD), and SMS Replier Pro from Iconosys joins their ranks for those with Android devices. When enabled, SMS Replier Pro uses a phone's built-in GPS function to detect when a phone inside a car is traveling above 15 mph and automatically sends a default text reply that reads, "I'm driving. I"ll call or text you back as soon as I come to my destination," when a text or call comes in.
The SMS Replier Pro app is only available for Android phones and sells for $9.95 either on the developer's website or via the Android Market. Iconosys claims that the app will be available for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile phones by next week, and for iPhones shortly afterward. While the app is primarily designed to address TWD, it can also be used for times when an owner doesn't want to be disturbed, such as at the movies or in a meeting. And while the app automatically kicks in on the go, in static situations it can be set to auto-respond.

This app is SO COOL. Seriously it is well worth every penny. My friend has it installed on her Google phone and it’s awesome! I don’t have to worry about her texting and driving while we’re out and about. It really gives me a certain peace of mind, not just for her, but for everyone on the road around her. I know it sounds pretty lame, but we are truly responsible for not only our own lives but for the lives of the drivers on the road around us. This app protects both! It’s like our own personal guardian angel!
