What Freeway is
Freeway reduces the temptation to use a phone while driving. It detects likely driving from your speed and blocks apps you have not allowed until you stop.
What it is not
Freeway is an aid, not a safety device, and not a substitute for your own judgement or for the law. It cannot physically prevent phone use, it cannot tell a driver from a passenger, and detection depends on your device's location and sensors, which can be wrong, delayed or unavailable. You remain fully responsible for how you drive and for complying with the law wherever you are driving. Do not configure or operate the app while the vehicle is moving.
Emergency calls
The blocking screen always offers a route to the phone keypad, and the dialler is never blocked. Even so, do not rely on this app in an emergency; if you need to make a call, stop the vehicle somewhere safe.
Subscription
Access requires a subscription purchased through Google Play. It renews automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in Google Play; cancelling stops future charges and access continues until the end of the paid period. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its terms.
Guardian PIN
If you set a guardian PIN, you may be unable to change settings or remove the app without it. Keep a record of the PIN. Recovery methods are described in the app and in its documentation, and may require a computer.
No warranty
The app is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from use of, or inability to use, the app, including any missed call, notification or journey.
