Phone use

I love the app, the only issue I have is it shows phone being used. I have a hands free vehicle. I can text, make calls and ask for directions all by voice command without taking my hands off the wheel or my eyes of the road.

Response from developer

The app will classify distracted driving if your phone screen is unlocked and on and phone movement is detected.

Here we go

This helps you get in touch with your bad or poor driving habits that may persist. I have AARP SafeTrip which rates my trip safety and it scores much higher.
This app does make me watch my speed so I don’t go over limit in constancy because of scoring. It helps me be a better driver.

Thanks for the 5-Star Review! We are glad to hear that the app is helping to make you a better driver.

Helpful app for driver safety and reducing insurance costs

This app keeps track of speeding, braking, and phone use during drives. This assigns a score for each drive and overall. It is designed to help people be safer drivers, reduce accidents, and thus save money on auto insurance. I recommend this for anyone who wants to improve their safe driving record.

GO - brand new car… adjustments

Like the program working with the new car features - major adjustments on my part. Really helps be aware of good driving habits with this car and new road/bridge detour issues.. issues I’m having is watching for speed limits as opposed to current driver hazards. These traffic people are NOT safe drivers by any means cut in front of no space - tailgate etc!! I’m attempting to travel in less traffic times if at all possible

The only problem is the brake evaluation

I am a very safe driver and it sometimes says I’ve been hard braking when I’m not. Other times, living in Southeast Florida, I get cutoff e rn though I am giving a wide berth to the car in front of me and kind of get punished for someone else’s poor driving. Other than that, it’s a good app.

The worst driving app tracker

I had a family emergency and flew back to NY for 4 days. Since I returned I have been so sick and can't drive. My friend was driving me in her car. Somehow this app was active and thought I was driving my car?! 😡 Now this app lowers my driving scores to 76. Wow… I didn't drive! Hello?! I don't want to this app anymore when renewing my car insurance. An old lady also nearly smashed into my car two weeks ago just because she made a mistake coming from the middle lane and wanted to left turn quickly to save her time. I had to avoid her car quickly and again, this app lowered my scores. Never again! Can’t wait to stop using this dumb driving app!

You have the ability to review the drives recorded on the app for the last 30 days. You can change the status to passenger for any of those drives you believe were being recorded as a passenger.

No location Service option

The most recent update from Apple iOS has removed the location tracker from the app. I can no longer track my rides. Other than that it is a awesome app to see how you drive.

Thanks for the review. If you are still having this issue please reach out to us at customerportal@mercuryinsurance.com.

Review

Good app, has made me more conscious of my speed and my phone use while driving.
Concerns are; passengers using my phone, having to brake suddenly to avoid collision with deer or people that pull their vehicles into path and having to speed to complete a passing maneuver.

farleyf, thanks for submitting this review. We are glad to hear the app is making you a safer driver.

Concentrate

This app with the drive rating’s, levels and awards are kind of like a game, we all want to be the best and we all want to get better. This app is a little thing that can make us better at driving and possibly even more mindful of the things going on around us. Love it
