## What is KnowYourDrive?

Helping you protect what matters most is our top priority. That’s why we are offering you KnowYourDrive, a simple way to get on the road towards safety and savings.
 
KnowYourDrive helps you learn safer driving habits and gives you more control over how much you pay for car insurance.
 
After each household driver downloads the app at no cost, you’ll receive an introductory car insurance discount. The app then continues to monitor your driving behavior and show your progress, so you can keep learning and adjust your driving habits accordingly.
 
The app displays your discount, trip details, safe driving tips and keeps track of your streak of distraction-free trips.  Additional detail is provided on your driving versus others who have the app.
 
And depending on how you drive, your policy will earn a program discount on your car insurance. Nice!
 
Please note that the KnowYourDrive app is available to invited American Family Insurance customers.
 
Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.

### 3/5 — Stops working for no reason!

*2025-03-10, version 2.7.5*

My app will just stop working then I’ll get an email that says welcome back or your being dis enrolled. Pretty crazy!

### 1/5 — Always Driving but I’m not

*2024-12-28, version 2.7.5*

Always records me as the driver even when I’m not driving. No help from the online help in resolving the issue. Driving my prices higher when it shouldn’t be. Horrible app.

### 5/5 — Keeps me on my toes

*2024-10-28, version 2.7.5*

I want to be a safe driver and Know your drive is a great reminder of my goals.

### 4/5 — Does not calculate phone correctly

*2024-09-23, version 2.7.5*

Have to quit using phone 5 minutes before and after or it records it as boing used

### 5/5 — Positive Feedback

*2024-09-12, version 2.7.5*

I really really like using the Know Your Drive App.

### 1/5 — Completely useless and inaccurate

*2024-07-11, version 2.7.5*

This app records phone use even if the phone screen is off. 

It records speeding if you are transitioning from say a 50mph zone to a 40 mph zone even if you are in the process of slowing down during that transition. It records hard braking even if you are not braking hard. 

This app is wildly inaccurate and will never get you to a worthwhile discount on your policy.

### 3/5 — Review

*2024-06-26, version 2.7.5*

I like this app but when I’m not driving it still goes against my driving and I have to remember to go in and correct it. If I forget it counts against my driving score and that’s a bummer.

### 3/5 — Review

*2024-06-25, version 2.7.5*

I’m at 15% discount and now projected to 10%. I’m not sure why. The app is okay. However, it seems I’m not connected at times even though my settings are correct. My driving looks good in the app.

### 5/5 — Nice reminder to drive responsibly.

*2024-04-29, version 2.7.5*

Like it!

### 3/5 — Speeding is not me

*2024-04-13, version 2.7.4*

Any time I’m near bridges the app lags or something and ends up flagging me for speeding.
