Three of the most useful apps you can use on your Galaxy Note2 are:

The first and third apps will read a text message out loud to you as it comes to your mobile device. This is much more than a convenient feature. Around the world, one of the biggest causes for traffic accidents is from distracted driving - a driver using cell phone while behind the wheel. A rather daunting figure is that about 24,000 victims in America suffer injuries annually, due to a driver focusing on their cell phone instead of their driving.

Due to the high volume of injuries, damage to vehicles, and deaths, the Samsung Galaxy Note2 apps: Driving Mode, Car Launcher, and ReadItToMe apps are well worth having on your Galaxy Note2 anytime you are traveling in a car.
