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
Accurate?
Many performance stats are wrong

Love this ride along scorer 👏
I like the timely scoring and it’s really improved my driving quality. Thx💪🤛👍
Great app except for braking section
Very helpful app, but the braking standards are ridiculous! It is practically impossible not to get charged! I never hard brake, and I get charged way too often!
Good safe reminders
I use two Safe trip monitors to constantly remind Me on good safe driving habits and one from my insurance for discounts. They are a good check on how safe one is driving.
Feedback
Feedback on my driving helps me be a better driver.
AARP SafeTrip is awesome
This app makes me accountable every time I drive my car. I am a better driver than I have been in the past.
