Could be better

I like it but it could be improved

Good App!

I think this app is very accurate as to my driving habits. I highly recommend it!

Useful and informative

Feel relieved knowing how I drive because I am a caregiver for my parents.

Doing it right

Driving right and safely

Awesome accuracy!

If you want to know when,where, and how you made an unsafe driving maneuver. This is the app to get. Also get rewards for improving on your bad habits

Great app

My driving has improved greatly. I check the app after every drive, saving on insurance too

Helpful, but

I like the idea and knowing it’s on encourages me to be more careful. However, I would never use it with my insurer. If you have to make a left turn at a busy intersection with no signal you’ll get marked for hard corners. Merging onto a busy interstate at an appropriate speed will get you hard acceleration. Twice I was marked for speeding when I was under the posted limit; occasionally Maps apparently has the wrong speed. So I like the encouragement to be more careful and attentive but have issues with some of the implementation.

great app

SafeTrip Review

I’ve been using safe trip for nearly 2 years now. I use another app for insurance reasons, but I think SafeTrip is a better tool for driving improvement. I have changed my habits on breaking cornering and acceleration because of this app. I highly recommend it.

Promotes safe driving habits

I turn SafeTrip on every time I use my car and check trip results after returning home.
It makes me feel confident that I am driving safely and reminds me of any driver errors.

I’m a better driver for this app

My scores are now generally 100 almost all the time. The app works well and almost always flags driving errors so that I can improve.

Doesn’t Account for Things That Seem Aggressive

When I slam on the brakes to avoid running a yellow light or because someone pulled out in front of me .. when I floor it to meet the speed of oncoming traffic or when I’m on a freeway on-ramp.. when I serve to avoid debris in the road .. all of this ranks against me because of the actions of the car, NOT because of the conditions.

This is a great application

This is a really good application to have for a number of reasons. First of all, it is not tied to any insurance program and you can use it to to get used to safe driving programs (Truelane, GEICO) without getting penalized. It gives accurate feedback on your driving and recommendations on taking safer routes. Certain privacy advocates may not like it, but for me the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and it can also be useful in court to establish that you are in fact, a safe driver. I use this program in conjunction with TrueLane® by The Hartford, AARP’s recommended insurance partner, and so far they match. In my case, I just had to modify my driving a little bit, and yes, it is a bit safer.

Great for seniors

I’m a senior. My father was legally blind and drove when he shouldn’t. A cousin was legally blind, and drove when he shouldn’t. My husband is legally blind and drove when he shouldn’t. I will never drive when I shouldn’t. My eyesight is great, but is my driving? I use this app to see how my driving is and when it gets bad, if it does, I will quit driving.

Acceleration often necessary

This app works well and makes me watch my driving more closely. However, I share the road with younger and less watchful drivers; I often have to accelerate quickly to get into traffic or get out of the way and the app penalizes me for each instance. Perhaps the location and length of acceleration should be taken into consideration? It might be necessary for safety reasons.

Very Helpful

I really like the app because it gives me incentive to drive safely and carefully. I don’t quite like the “acceleration” and “braking” parameters.

Driving tool comparison

Very fair & accurate compared to Hartford. Screens and items being scored are identical but overall scores vary by 35 points! 65 on Hartford and 100 on AARP. Apparently you don’t take away points on overall score for type of roads I drive on.

Too sensitive

The app calls out hard cornering too easily.

Safe trip

Love the app. Keeps me on my toes, alert and cognizant of my driving habits.

Love this!

Keeps me focused
