TextBusterTextBuster

Available On: Android

We decided to add this program to the Top 5 Apps For Your Car article because it puts an end to teen texting. Texting while driving is almost as detrimental as drunk driving so we felt TextBuster deserved mention here. This Android-only app requires a $179 piece of hardware be installed into your car’s power source. This device sends instructions to the TextBuster app that deactivates all data transfer with the exception of voice and map GPS software. It makes your teen safe without you being big brother. It’s a smart balance between safety and freedom.

Below is a video explaining how the hardware gets installed in your car.
