Is It Any Good?
Texting and driving are a dangerous combination - and DON'T TEXT ME deserves some measure of praise for attempting to address it. Notifying contacts that you're driving or working (or otherwise unavailable) is an easy process, but it overlooks a couple of major issues. While it's easy to ask friends not to ping you, it's ultimately their choice -- and if they do, you'll receive those texts without any interruption. Just as importantly, if you're frequently in and out of the car (or in class or meetings) and use this app regularly, friends may get frustrated with the frequency of the messages.
