BlueAnt Q1 Android App Review

Description:

If you have the BlueAnt Q1 device for you Android Phone, this is a fun add on to the hardware that you own to get the most out of it.  What this app can do is enables the headset device to enable the reading of text messages directly through the Q1.  Once installed the BlueAnt Q1 will read back all of your text messages to you through the headpiece.  The app is easy to use as it shows you how to pair to your device.  This is one of the first hardware extension apps that allow you to do even more than you planned to do with your hardware.

There are tons of pros to this app.  The pairing is one of the easiest we have seen between headsets and phones.  The app walks you through step by step to accomplish this.  The device uses the text messages  in your phone and reads them back to you.  The app also allows the device to read you turn by turn direction to help you find a GPS location.  The quick help tips, user manual, and access to customer service can all be accomplished through this app.

There are a few cons to this app add on for this piece of hardware.  Besides reading text messages in the ear, the reading really is not the most amazing thing ever.  It does not read you caller ID which would be a really cool feature.  This app is great to read text speech but sounds way too robotic.

Features:

• The app will read text massages through the ear piece
• reads GPS turn by turn directions
• Does not allow you to reply with voice commands
• customer service number can be dialed automatically
• has a male voice that reads all information to you.

While this app is missing a lot of pieces that make it absolutely amazing, the concept is still really cool.  Its really cool to think that an app paired with a device can enable it to talk to you and read you messages.  This type of application is perfect for people that want to hear text messages read to them while they are driving.  This helps to keep your focus on the road and not take your focus off of the things at hand.

Conclusion:

This app is Free for the Android phone and has been given a 5 out of 5 star rating by android phone users everywhere.
