Willfully Inadequate
If you so much as receive a text message you’ll get downgraded. If your coming up to a light and it turns yellow and you will have to break to avoid running a red light, you’ll get downgraded.
It doesn’t track if you run a light or stop signs. Doesn’t track turn signal usage (BMW driver must have helped create this app). With this app I’m learning to not drive safe but to drive to not get downgraded.
If you break hard and come to a complete stop this is likely not tailgating it’s stopping for a light. Receiving a text message causes the screen to come on is not distracted driving.

Outstanding
It has quickly curbed bad habits. The accountability is vital. Our whole family is benefiting.
Hot take the previous app was better
I have been part of the new driveology program and the old. What I like about this app is it tends to open and run more smoothly than the old app. I’m no longer fighting trying to get the app the open or to log in. This is about where my like of the app ends. I much prefer the old app. The new app has so many annoyances and limitations that the old app did not have. The experience with the old app is much desired even with the poor startup experience. The new app isn’t as accurate on route tracking as the old, some routes that are short enough don’t even register as a trip where the old app would register any trip regardless of length, and trip history is only saved for 30 days where I could seemingly look back on trip history as far as I wanted on the old app. Also the trip search function is very much a downgrade. There basically isn’t a search function anymore. The only way to look at previous days is to hit a back or forward arrow until you reach the desired day. The biggest annoyance is phone usage score. only way to prevent the phone usage score from dropping that I found is make sure your phone is connected to both the vehicle Bluetooth and the Bluetooth of the Driveology device. I even go as far as to either keep my phone in my pocket or screen facing down as to hopefully ensure no sensors have a false positive. I shouldn’t have to worry this much about my phone score. If you want to be around your vehicle for extended periods of time like for maintenance or cleaning expect your score to drop unless you go out of your way to ensure the vehicles Bluetooth is turned on or the Driveology device is not connected to your phone. This app could have been so much better. Please fix the startup issues of the old app and bring the old app back. Also please bring back the diagnostics port based tracker it was so much more accurate on trips. It could even be updated to include features for tracking phone usage that aren’t annoying and hard to understand.

Good App
Not only does it help me save on Insurance, but I can finally prove to my mom that I can drive safety! It holds me accountable and is easy to use.
Driver
It makes me a more careful driver! I don’t like that when I brake for someone who pulls out infront of me my score goes down but all in all it’s great.
Not Ready for Primetime
This app is incapable of detecting whether my wife or I are driving if we are in the same vehicle. This presents a problem because of it says I am driving while I’m sitting in the passenger seat, the app will ding my safety score for using my phone. It also constantly harasses you with notifications to open the app if you ever close, which should not be necessary if you also have to allow it to use your location at all times. Really basic stuff, guys.

Driver
I like the app because it does help me be more aware how I drive but doesn’t allow for braking when people pull in front of you, or don’t signal until right before they turn or slam on their brakes in front of you. But do like to be able to check on how I’ve done overall for safety
