Not only does it think my wife and I drive at the same time, it rates the two of us VERY differently for speeding (while we’re in the same car at the same time). And, once while driving, a call came to my phone. I did NOTHING except to decline the call. For that, I was dinged for inattentive driving. I am removing this garbage from our phones.

This app is intended to monitor and rate your driving. Obviously it should know if you are driving, and where you are. It often fails. Example 1 - we did a drive about 120 miles. I was behind the wheel, nonstop and the app rated me for that. But the app also rated my wife for simultaneously driving about half of that same drive. Example 2 - we did some short local drives at that place 120 miles away. The app properly rated me for doing the driving, which I did. But it also rated my wife for doing one of those drives at the same time I was doing the drive. Example 3 - we visited family about 100 miles away for three days. They took us out to dinner and we were in their car as passengers. The app rated my wife as if she had done that drive in which she was a passenger. Example 4 - we came home after that family visit. My wife went for a local drive and the app properly rated her for that drive. But the day after that the app said it hadn't known where she had been for days and believed she was still at our relative's house 100 miles away, even though it had monitored her on a local drive a day later. Further, looking at the apps rating of my drives in which I'd been extra careful about speeds, it's obvious that in some locations the app's speed limit database is faulty. And the app causes a very noticeable decrease in battery life.

Dings me for distracted driving when not driving

It seems to mostly work except for one key issue. I don’t know how the app determines when you’ve stopped driving but I’ve now been dinged for distracted driving multiple times when I park and use my phone in my car, say while waiting for someone I’m picking up. I had one instance where I was parked at an auto body shop waiting to pick up a coworker and it counted the entire time I was parked (long enough to turn off the car) as part of the drive from home to auto body shop and then to the office. It didn’t think the long pause in a parking lot was me being parked. I imagine if you were to pull over and make a call or send a text, it would count that as distracted driving too. That’s not cool.

Always thinks I’m driving

This app is a massive pain. It’s constantly asking if I’m driving, when I’m not even in the car. It makes no concessions for putting the car in park to pay at a drive through and just believes I’m a jerk in general.

Kills Battery, doesn’t work

This app has killed my battery and doesn’t show all my drives. It works about 40% or the time.
