Leave a Review NJM SafeDrive
Flawed
So this app is s good idea I suppose but it has major flaws. I guess it is working while I am driving but most times when I want to check to see how I am doing after my car is parked, I get an error message at the bottom of the screen and neither the leader board or dash board will not load. The message specifically says “an error had occurred, please try again later”. On the few occasions that it did work, I scored very well; but, I agree with the other reviewer in terms of the speed limit during highway driving. Going to slow or maintaining a steady speed of 55 is difficult because other people are honking and driving around you even in the slow lane and sometimes they tailgate making me feel nervous as if they are going to run into me because I’m going to slow.Show lessRenee-NJ
Needs improvement, good idea
The idea behind the app is good but it needs improvement. No reliability at all.
1. Score depends on the road not your driving:
- On highways without traffic, regardless of whether you are over the speed limit, the app scores you a 10.
- On local roads, short drives, winding roads, scores are low.
- If you are stalled in traffic- nothing to do with your own driving- again scores drop to 40 or lower.
2. Using favorite locations does not provide score for the route - developers should work on improving using analytics- take variables such as ‘real time traffic’ from Waze or other means, road conditions, constructions, distance and speed limits into account to derive s model that will be closer to reality. Get some beta testers or employ field testers to try a few things to check validity of scores.Show lessKGH_Anon
Consistently inconsistent
The app is really buggy. The one thing I’ve learned while using it is that I never know when I can see trip results. It seems to consistently record the trips, but more often than not I can’t open the app to see results. It REALLY needs some work!jbs4146
Big Fat “0”
NJM SAFE DRIVING should not be allowed to track you just to give you a 10% discount. Further more NJM can easily judge your usage based on your movements and make adjustments to your yearly premium, so basically your getting a 10% discount only if the dynamics of the app says so. I don’t like apps on my phone that track you. I stopped uber and lyft for those same reasons. My choice! We should be able to get the discount and sign up for knowledge about safe driving as opposed to being tracked. Therefore I give this app a big fat “0”. When signing up for the discount it was never explained that the app would track, find your car and all of that. This is not cool at all🤯😡😡😡 Fix itShow lessNk/brklyn
This app is flawed
I had to start using this app to save money on my auto insurance. Keep in mind I have an excellent driving history. No at fault accidents, no dui’s. Not even so much as a parking ticket. One trip I will receive a score if 100 the same trip but in reverse I will receive a score of 40. I’m not driving any differently. You must adhere to the speed limit which I wouldn’t have an issue with as long as everyone else did as well. You have no idea how many honking horns, tailgaters, people passing me on a double yellow, etc. just because I have to follow the speed limit. This app is creating bad situations. I have to pack my phone in my messenger bag if I want to put my phone in the car. Your phone has to be solidly stable or you will receive a bad score. This app needs to be fixed big time. Because of having to use this app I’m seriously considering looking for another insurance company that doesn’t make you use a stupid app to save money on your policy.Show lessWitchy12000
Okay but needs some work
I like the concept of this app that it does encourage safe driving. Been using it for a short time and feel like it is not fully relatable to NJ driver society with acceleration or braking scores (ex: highway entrance and exit ramps). Sometimes I feel like if I do accelerate or brake at the level this app wants I’m going to have a line of cars behind me honking and cause others to road rage. Like this app but maybe update these aspects so that even when I go the speed limit I don’t drive like a grandma.Show lessHigginator
Stopped Updating
I have my settings set so that it only records trips when I open the app. However, for the past 3 days the app will say "trip will be available soon" and the trip never makes it to my logbook. All my previous trips make it there instantly and lately it has not been doing that.CiTooChildish
