Nice Graphics, but BUGS!!!
For the most part it is pretty good. it gives you the opportunity to say whether you are a passenger or a driver. However, it will say that there was a speeding event, a distraction event, or braking event but cannot tell you when or where and the app will say that the event happened for 0 seconds and 0 minutes. For an app that is supposed to be giving me a discount for how good I drive, it sure feels like somebody has their thumb on the scale.

Savings results are in!
After the initial learning phase of what the Driveology app is monitoring in my driving I’ve now put it in the back-seat of my mind. Having reached the length of usage when I was delivered a significant price reduction to my car insurance rate, I now know first hand that our good driving is paying off in an awesome way. There is also a bit of competition between me and my spouse for who has the best running score on the app.

Frustrated
I totally agree with what Baconcrew said. I drive mostly highway and people drive like idiots and cut me off frequently which causes me to react. If I set my cruise and not move with the traffic I have multiple times been tailgated dangerously close, break checked, flipped off, passed on the shoulder, yelled at (yes I was in the right lane). I also don’t always see a posted speed limit and move with the traffic - I get dinged. Leaving the highway and going down short exit ramps get me every day as they don’t like the too fast in the decreased speed. Don’t press play on a recorded podcast while stopped at a train or answer a phone or even make one. I am more stressed out watching all of these things. I am going to ignore this app, drive safely like I used to and be happy with my 10%.

Ok
It's nice you get discounts but if there's more then one person connected to it and their on their phone it's doesn't know if it's the driver or not so you can be passenger, on your phone and your score goes down.
Needs improvement
Called distraction when u are sitting your car idling in a parking lot checking your email. This needs to be fixed.
Saves money but the braking needs to be less sensitive
It’s a nice app to save some money on insurance but the braking needs to be adjusted to be less sensitive. If you get cut off or even have to break slightly harder than normal it gives you a 1 star
No way to account for other drivers
This app deducts points for hard braking. It doesn’t take into account that other drivers cut you off or you break to avoid an accident. Farm Bureau-won’t you rather me break instead of having an accident??? Also, if your phone is anywhere except flat and not moving, the app detects “a phone distraction”. I can’t leave my phone in my purse. However, Farm Bureau has me by the shirt tail to use the app if I want the discount.

Awful with two people in the car
There is no way to select who the driver is before the trip starts, or even to switch as such after the trip. This is the first day of me having the app and already 3 trips were wrongly assigned while errand running. Please fix this.
It Saves Me Money
Made quite a difference on my insurance bill.
Would be better if it was a “real world” application. It dings you for braking too hard even in situation where you have to to avoid some idiot that wants to occupy the space you are in. It also dings you for speeding when you are adjusting to the flow of traffic.

I’m ok with texting being a distraction but I don’t think using your phone to talk should have any impact on your discount.
