Great app poor support
Would be 5 stars but I’ve had an issue with some trips. I’ve tried to fix these but just get stuck taking to an AI that quotes the website self help guides at me. Obviously I’d have read these before accessing support, I don’t seem to be able to get any real support with issues.
Lots Of False Positive Alerts
The premise of the app seems good in principle but my word there are lots of false positive alerts through normal driving. I was penalised for harsh acceleration by accelerating 8mph in over 5 seconds! There was traffic at the time but any slower in normal conditions I would become a danger to everyone around me
I understand life happens, I understand there will be the occasional blip to avoid someone, but in all honesty many people will see their "acceleration" being a problem and avoid actually accelerating when needed
It should be categorised as a "Not So Safe Driving App"

Not accurate enough
Today I got harsh acceleration mark for 4-9mph in 1.5 seconds. So I asked Google what it thought…
“An acceleration of 4 to 9 mph in 1.5 seconds equals a rate of 3.33 mph/s (miles per hour per second), which converts to 4.89 ft/s² (1.49 m/s²).
This is a very gentle acceleration, equivalent to about 0.15 g (15% of Earth's gravity). It typically represents a bicycle pulling away from a stop, a slow-moving golf cart, or a car gently rolling forward in heavy traffic.”
What gives? Not allowing insurance to use figures like that.

Good
Great app
Lovely
Keeps me in check
Awful does not work with iPad
Unable to register as no keyboard appears to enter the email address. It states it works with iPad but this is incorrect. Useless app not what I expect from ClearScore
Good but annoying
I use this app to monitor my driving. I do not use it for insurance purposes. It has had a positive impact on my driving as I found I tended to accelerate and brake too hard and corner too quickly for the app’s liking. Changing those has had a positive impact in my driving and it’s much more smooth now. The app can be annoying however. There’s a constant in app red dot notification if you don’t provide your insurance information and the app will send periodic notifications to add it. It also records far too many trips as a passenger. I suspect it does this to force you to interact with the app and so it can remind you again to add your insurance details. I wish there was a way to set it as driver only. I’m never a passenger. The last time I was a passenger was in 2022 in the back of the limousine that was following the hearse to my mums funeral, so being able to set “always a driver” would be good and earn another star from me.

Not great!
Not a great app, told me I was going around corners to fast? I was on a train!
Out of date fuel prices
Only downloaded this after seeing social media adverts for finding the cheapest fuel. The reality is fuel prices that are 5 days out of date. Sending me on a journey for fuel at £1.87 (diesel) only for price to be £1.93 the same as every where else. There is also no way to update the prices to the actual prices. So from a fuel finding point of view this app is totally useless.
It analysed my driving as a pro driver. And activated the app autonomously. So I could see my driving without knowing the app had been running silently in the background. I added my registration a few days later. And it was only then I found out it was a complete waste of time. As vans are not supported. And they would be unable to give me a potential insurance quote.
So it’s a DELETE for me! 🤷♂️

Driving licence verification failed
For the purpose of verification of my ID to purchase the insurance of my car. I tried many times to upload my driving licence but all the time “ failed to read the address”.
Scam
This is a scam I have deleted the app but it still tracks me down after 6 weeks of deleting the app, it’s like tracking me without my permission
Pointless
I have now used DriveScore for a few months and my score is between 995 to 1000 but it made no difference to my car insurance at all. For cornering my score has dropped but it does not tell me where I am not doing it right so I can’t change anything. I have never hit anything so I can’t be doing too bad but even if I wanted to change my ways, I have no idea what corners I have been too fast at. More of a game than anything useful.

No insurance saving
Helped with my driving habits but was about £100 more with the same insurance policy compared with a comparison site.
Fantastic
Along with my black box im in driver heaven. Doing everything right.
Fantastic
My DriveScore keeps me right and I know I’m within the law and everything I do when I’m driving.
Insurance quote
Quote was twice as expensive as everywhere else, don’t waste your time!
Perfect App
Excellent
Disappointing and unreliable.
The DriveScore app has been really disappointing. The scores don’t seem accurate or consistent, and the app doesn’t always seem to match the actual speed limits on the roads. So you get marked as speeding, (It though it was in a 50mph on the motorway. It also flags distractions that aren’t accurate,
Example, it has identified several phone distractions when my phone was in either my pocket or my bag.
I had a cornering warning on a straight road. On top of that, the app drains my phone battery about 30% when sat in the background. This happens on days when I haven’t been near a vehicle. Overall, I find it unreliable and difficult to trust, and it needs some serious improvement.

Not so Good/Safe
In a world where people push to speed or stop almost instantly or cut in front. Driving to get the good score could land you in trouble easy. I am a IAMRoadSmart Advanfed Driver and very safe. But safety teaches you when getting on a motorway joining slow as we have all seen is very dangerous but getting up to speed is extremely important. If you’re behind someone you need to accelerate to get to a safe place and that is just one example. I actually got a good score and just on two breaking points on two drives. And that is my car being safe as it’s one of the safest cars on the road.

User unfriendly
For some reason it doesn’t seem to understand that I don’t drive every time I’m in a car.
