The SAFE 2 SAVE app motivates drivers to put away their phones while they drive by awarding them points that can be redeemed at their favorite restaurants and businesses. Here are some key tips about using SAFE 2 SAVE … 1) Open SAFE 2 SAVE each time you start driving to earn points (or activate the Auto-On feature so that it will open automatically as you drive). 2) You can still use your music and maps apps that utilize Bluetooth. Simply, press the orange “Open Maps” button on the Points or Maps page to utilize your favorite Maps app without receiving “Don’t Tech & Drive” notifications. 3) Redeem your points for rewards at your favorite restaurant or business. 4) Start a competition with your friends or family to earn the most points. 5) Please send any feedback or questions to support@safe2save.org. SAFE 2 SAVE is currently expanding to new territories. Patent Pending. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
