Useful, but not perfect
I appreciate the ability to gain a discount based on driving and to see how you drive, including the counter on distraction-free driving to give incentive to not use your phone while driving. However, I’d say the app is not perfect.
Some issues I’ve noticed:
1. The Projected Policy Discount has never worked (at least for me). It has always said “Calculating…” and I’ve used this app for well over a year. This is the main issue that is consistent and a bit frustrating.
2. When recording drives, I notice that it shows that I have frequent hard breaking. Now, I know that there are times that hard breaking does occur, but the frequency of them seems too often to be considered true. As a result, the hard breaking category is a much lower score than others, affecting the overall discount.
3. I know it’s not necessarily the app’s fault, but a lot of the recorded trips are all pieces of whole trip or, it’s only recorded near the end of a trip, when I’ve already driven miles beforehand.
In short, the inaccuracy of the app makes it hard to gain any more than a 10% policy discount, which is a bit disappointing when you’re trying to be a mindful driver and save some money.
