Not accurate

I only gave it 3 stars because the modules were easy to use. Besides that it’s not accurate it uses your phone to see how you’re driving. So if I put my phone in the cup holder it moves so I scored very badly but if I sit on my phone so it doesn’t move at all I score high. It as doesn’t take into account any real life issues. For example if a car pulls out in front of me of course I had to hit my brakes hard, would you rather me hit the car?? It tracks your speed which is a good thing but everything else is not accurate in my opinion.

Getting Stars

I love the app and being the competitive person I am, I thrive to beat my percent each drive. I should have 90 plus percent drives everyday but due to bumps(potholes)in the road, cars in front of me, unexpected animals that run across the road and several other uncontrollable reasons my score is effected. This really irritates me.

Garbage app

Garbage app records instances of bad driving such as hard braking, hard acceleration, speed, and cornering speed. If you hold a perfect 70mph on the interstate for 30 minutes, it will say you have done anywhere from 0 to 30 different instances of hard breaking or hard acceleration, and you have to do 10 half hour drives so on a 13 hour drive I had plenty of attempts to perform at least 1 perfect half hour drive, but no no no, 26 hard accelerations and 15 hard breaking while on cruise control at 3 am. And this is what determines if I get a discount or not. Garbage app.

I find this dangerous

I find this app extremely dangerous for a teen driver. The fact it doesn’t a tomato ally start your trips like the drive and save app is crazy having to remember to turn the trip on and off. I do pray my son doesn’t get into an accident using this app. Depending on what bumpy county road he is on it doesn’t even record the drive time cause his phone moves with the bumps and it doesn’t count the drive. There are not enough prompts to finish the drive time.

Good but needs work.

The lessons are great. I recommend having some prior driving and road knowledge before watching them as they ask some questions that are now covered in the videos. The driving tracking is not the most accurate or the best. Could use improvement. I wish the app also gave more feedback on what to do better at.

100% worth it

I would use the app while going to work and knocked it out in a month and a half. It was super easy to use, and your score does NOT matter. Overall it could use a few tweaks but it was worth the discount.

Missed trips

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve opened the app, clicked on a new trip, let it calibrate, and watch the time begin only to find out in the end the trip wasn’t counted…. Extremely frustrating. Email to customer service only gets a response of reiterating the instructions. When it does work it seems to be a good asset to gauge improvement, but for us it only seems to record 50% of the trips…

Beware of Timing - 30 minutes

This should have been easy to complete in one roadtrip. . . instead I have spent 20+ hours of driving and upwards of 3 months trying to make it track. It will ONLY track for 30 minutes and if you don’t get on to end it, it probably won’t save. The only way I could finish it was to have my passenger get on the app and end it and restart at exactly 30 minutes. State Farm - you’re trying to promote safe driving but this is inherently UNSAFE. I should not have to think about restarting my tracker every 30 minutes during my road-trips. Would not recommend this based on functionality.

Over-critical app

I find that the app is over-sensitive: I have power boost in my car, which helps in city traffic because you need to take off when the light turns green, or risk getting hit from behind or the driver behind honking on the horn. It also helps when getting into traffic, but every time I use it, my score goes down. I have been working on my complete stops and going in a circle, but it gets me every time, & it is depressing. I am trying to be a better driver, but it’s always something. Meanwhile, drivers fly past me on both lines, which is downright scary.

Incident’s issues

It seems like not matter where I have my phone in the car even in my pants pocket it will always tell me that I was using the phone for the entire drive cause they saw it as “moving” when it’s really just in my pocket I also got I think it was 27 rapid acceleration incidents on a road where I was using my cruise control doing 35 mph the whole way very confusing in all honesty
