pingloud is a free Android app that reads out loud your SMS messages, emails, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, Slack, and other messages. It is an easy-to-use tool that is perfect for Uber, Lyft, Via, Gett, ridesharing, truck, commercial, and student drivers. It has three paid subscription options: $2, $4, or $7 per month, with a 14-day free trial on certain plans. With pingloud, staying up to date with your messages does not mean you need to be distracted by your phone.

The app automatically pauses and resumes audiobooks, music, or other audio you’re already playing for the best possible experience. You don’t need to choose between pingloud and your other apps, either, especially while you’re in the car. Use pingloud with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, or even with Amazon Alexa. The app also has a Driving Score feature which evaluates your safe driving habits and offers roadside assistance and emergency contact notification. However, it is important to note that you cannot reply using voice to text, as it is unsafe and distracting.
