Waaaay too sensitive
It’s overall unobtrusive, but it has a hair trigger for braking, turning and acceleration for regular daily commuting, it even flags eco-mode adaptive cruise control in highway start and stop traffic and penalizes you. It will penalize you for going 5kph over a speed limit. And I’m not sure what database it’s using for posted speed, but it will flag you for speeding in the weirdest places.
It also flags bus and bike rides as car trips, which can get annoying if you don’t notice and change the trip type.
Overall it does what it does and I appreciate the substantial reduction in insurance, but wow calibrate the accelerometer and update your posted speed database please, it’s a bit silly.

Bien mais pas toujours fidèle ou fiable

Good stuff
Braking is terrible
Awesome experience
Getting petro gift cards every months great !!!
Distraction assessment
fix
Inaccruate reading.
I am getting false scoring out of absolutely nothing.
10/100 scoring on braking from normal driving, and I usually always get 99 or 100 scoring.
Also, There are trips that I take where I am not the driver; my friends drive less safer than I do, and I get points deducted for it.
I understand that there are bad apples who could abuse the feature of selecting whether if you’re driver/passenger. But good drivers should not have to stress because of this.
Devs, please do whatever you gotta do, to accurately track good driver behaviors. Use AI if you have to lol
Ridiculous detection
This app should be illegal
This app calculates everything so bad and give you bad score . most stup app
Aviva Journey App Review: Flawed Scoring System and Unfair Deductions
The “Context” Issue – Unavoidable Point Deductions
The biggest flaw in the app is the “Context” score. No matter how well I drove—maintaining speed limits, smooth cornering, controlled braking, and avoiding distractions—I could never get a perfect 100 because the app automatically deducted points for “Context.” This category is vague, and there’s no clear explanation of what exactly is being penalized. If a driver follows all the rules of the road and gets perfect scores in every other category, why should they still be penalized? It creates a situation where a flawless drive is technically impossible.
Phone Usage Tracking is Inaccurate
Another major issue is how the app tracks phone usage. I lost points for using my phone inside a stationary car during a car wash—clearly not a situation that should be counted as “distracted driving.” The app doesn’t differentiate between using your phone while stopped in a safe environment versus using it while actively driving. This raises concerns about its ability to fairly assess phone use on private property versus on the highway.
Braking Deductions are Unfair
One of the most unfair aspects of the app is how it penalizes braking. If another driver suddenly stops in front of you and you apply firm braking to avoid an accident, the app considers it “harsh braking” and deducts points. This is a serious flaw because responsible drivers should not be punished for reacting appropriately to sudden hazards. In real-world driving, not all braking is within a driver’s control—sometimes, it’s a matter of safety. The app fails to recognize this distinction.
Inconsistent Trip Times and Scores
Looking at my trip history, there are inconsistencies in how scores are applied. For example, two identical trips with similar durations resulted in different scores. If all factors are the same, why should one trip score 100 and another 99? The scoring system lacks transparency, leaving drivers guessing why they lost points.
Final Verdict
While the app is a good concept for promoting safe driving, its execution is flawed. The inability to achieve a perfect score due to arbitrary “Context” deductions makes it frustrating, and its inability to distinguish between safe phone use (such as when parked) and actual distracted driving makes it unreliable. Additionally, penalizing necessary braking in emergency situations shows a lack of real-world driving understanding. Aviva needs to improve the fairness and accuracy of its scoring system before this app can truly be considered a fair and effective tool for assessing driving behavior.
Finally 20% discount for upcoming year is never 20%, not even close. I was suppose to get 20% discount and only got 11%. When spoke to Aviva representative they said it up to 20%. When asked what can I do to get 20% they had no input or answer.
