## What is Drive Focus?

Driver training has never been this fun and engaging! 
Learn essential visual search skills and strategies with interactive video technology.

Drive Focus teaches you to identify critical items on the roadway and how to decide when they are important. Examples of critical items are pedestrians stepping into your path, construction signs, and brake lights of the vehicle ahead of you. Once you've learned the critical items, practice your visual search skills with exciting video footage of real-world driving experiences filmed throughout North America.

Users report that Drive Focus is “fun” and “addictive.” You will want to keep retrying the drive to  beat your last score - or your friends score! During usability studies, users reported high satisfaction with the app:
• 19 out of 20 students said they liked using the App
• 18 out of 20 students would recommend it for a driver's education program
• 20 out of 20 students think the App is helpful for students learning to drive

Users also report that, “After doing just one or two tours, you can’t help but notice critical items when driving.”

When you tap on critical items in the video, Drive Focus’s scoring system:
• Keeps track of what critical items you saw and which ones you missed.
• Calculates how quickly you saw the critical items.
• Determines whether you saw the most important critical item first.

By the time you have completed a tour, you can immediately transfer those skills to the road. And you may just find yourself more relaxed, focused, and better able to react to actual driving situations.

### 1/5 — No sound using IPAD MINI

*2023-04-27*

Downloaded today, no sound using the app,  confirmed app setting sound is enabled. All other apps on my IPAD have sound.

### 2/5 — Annoyed

*2020-07-14, version 1.4*

The app is very unresponsive when tapping on signs, road markings, etc.

### 5/5 — A great app for new teen drivers!

*2020-01-06, version 1.4*

Wonderful way to help teenagers pay attention and prioritize when learning to drive.

### 3/5 — Can’t move to next level

*2017-12-29, version 1.4*

After scoring more than the required 500 points the app will not let me move to next drive level.  Reloaded app twice. With no luck.  Very limiting.

### 2/5 — I like it-ish

*2016-08-21, version 1.4*

THIS APP WONT STOP CRASHING THE "TOURS" BUFFER AND FREEZE AND I CANT PAUSE IT OR START OVER I LIKE THE CONCEPT BUT PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP I NEED IT I HAVE ANOTHER REHAB DRIVING LESSON IN THREE DAYS

### 5/5 — First app I've ever paid money for

*2016-07-04, version 1.4*

After lots of rehabilitation, both physical and cognitive (after a bad car crash injury), this app is mentally preparing me to get back behind the wheel of a handicapped-modified car. The app is very smooth and thorough and really helps me with what I need to work on in order to safely drive again. I'm sure the app would be great for first time, would-be drivers in training, but this review is coming from someone who has already passed a licensing test but has not been behind the wheel for years. Come to think of it, I'm sure even regular, everyday drivers could benefit from trying to up their reaction time and attentiveness with this app.
