Unreliable and confusing trip allocation
So, this app exists to take data from the transponder, integrate with phone data and do two things: (i) feedback on driving style, this is OK. (ii) to allocate different drivers to different trips which Marmalade suggest will happen automatically, and is required as part of the insurance cover including ensuring that the young driver uses the car <50% of journeys .This is where its limitations appear:
1. You can only have one additional driver / app user for the account which means that when another parent drives the car, the journey is not properly recorded. If my wife’s use of the car is not recorded, it will erroneously push up my daughter’s %use of the car.
2. I have been allocated to trips despite my phone and I being nowhere near the car.
3. You can only be a “passenger” or “driver” for trips - there is no “I wasn’t in the car at all” option.
This is a shame, because the principle of the app is great and these should be easily remediable issues .
Until then - 2 stars only as you really do have to manually check each journey on both phones to remain vaguely accurate.
