World's First Smartphone Breathalyzer Expands Functionality Across Android and iOS devices
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Today BACtrack, the leader in personal and professional-grade breathalyzers, launched a brand new app for Android 4.3, making the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer compatible with Android devices for the first time. BACtrack Mobile is currently compatible with iPhone 4S, 5, 5S, 5C, iPad 3, iPad Mini, iPad Air and iPod Touch 5.
The BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer is the first alcohol-monitoring device to combine professional grade fuel cell sensor technology, Bluetooth connectivity, and app-enabled features. BACtrack Mobile allows users to quickly and easily estimate their Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), as well as track, share, and understand results. With the ZeroLine™ feature, users can also estimate when their BAC will return to 0.000.
Now fully functional across both iOS and Android operating systems, users can simply download the free app on Google Play or in the App Store to use their BACtrack Mobile device. For additional information about BACtrack Mobile, visit www.alcootechcanada.com.
Monitoring Eliminates Ambiguity
The ability to test yourself on-the-go via smartphone devices becomes even more crucial. It's challenging, if not impossible, to determine your BAC using your own judgment so expanding breathalyzer compatibility to Android users will greatly increase the number of consumers who can access BACtrack's innovative technology.
The legal driving limit leaves many consumers without a clear understanding of what that means in terms of alcohol consumption. By making BACtrack Mobile available to Android users, we are giving more people the ability to take responsibility to ensure safety and know if they are sober before getting behind the wheel after drinking.
Recent research shows that 70% of drinkers believe that owning a breathalyzer would allow them to gauge when they have had enough to drink, and over 80% of drinkers view a breathalyzer as a serious, decision-making tool. Having been in the breathalyzer space over a decade, BACtrack understands the importance of making breathalyzers available to as many people as possible to encourage safe drinking and smarter decisions.
Monitoring Raises Awareness
With more people discussing the issue of drinking and driving, there will be increased awareness around the subject as more people recognize the importance of making responsible decisions around alcohol.
"Monitoring your BAC goes beyond just drinking and driving,Testing and sharing personal BAC results creates a dialogue around responsible drinking, which is long overdue."
