Doesn’t score properly
I downloaded this to get a small discount from my insurance. However after using for two months I find it doesn’t score properly. The other day I went with a friend on a day trip. He drove in his own car and I was a passenger. After the trip was over and I looked at the app and I selected “passenger” for each of the trips where my friend drove. (Before I did so it recorded several “events” of distracted driving since I looked at my phone to check texts from my boss.
When you are a passenger the app states that any events are taken out of the equation, the app explicitly states this fact. However when I selected passenger for the trips in which I was a passenger, the app did remove the “events” but the app dropped my overall score by 5 points. Which is not right.
I thought it would take a little while to update and fix my score but it did not.
Also there are a few metrics this app uses to rate you. One metric, “Time of Day” has consistently remained at Zero regardless of when I’m driving.
In my view this app does not accurately assess your safe driving record, I doubt I’ll continue using it in the future.
I do not recommend!

I wish I could give 0 stars!
I installed this app to save on my insurance. It is terribly inaccurate. It gave me 4 “dings” for phone use, when my phone was mounted to my dash, and no one touched it. I thought it might have been a fluke, but it’s happened several times since. I get sudden braking dings when I absolutely do not sudden brake. Which is insane anyway, because why should we be penalized if someone else pulls out in front of us? Currently getting quotes from other companies.

Flawed
If you have a faulty collecting app like this, you will have faulty data.
Insurance companies have been duped, or they want flawed data for excuses to raise rates.
Within 2 weeks of my trying, flaws in app already appearing. Though my trips clearly say I drive in the daytime, between 8a and 6p, without exception, it has 80% of those same trips labeled as “late night” time of day category.
As a former IT admin, I know of NO app that needs to be Always On, if coded correctly. A better approach is to let a user simply signify when they are taking a trip, like we do when we exercise…OR, to tie use to a vehicle - Not a phone. Always On begs data inaccuracy. So there is something else they are gleaning, though they say they aren’t.
I find it interesting the app is supposed to be about better driving, but it doesn’t really tell you PRECISELY what those are? Define “late night” and Time of Day? You won’t find it stated anywhere. Define what discount percentages are given at what point, time or trips? Is Time of Day a factor? You won’t find that either.
The paltry 5% savings isn’t worth my handing over my data, which my 45 year perfect driving record should be plenty, to substantiate. That’s how they used to determine things.

REMOVE “TIME OF DAY”
I have this app for an insurance discount. They need to remove “time of day” as a factor in your score. I can never get my score where I want it to be because I have to drive at certain times of the day. News flash, people work and have to drive at inconvenient times. It’s so frustrating that my score is down so low because of the time of day I NEED to be driving.

There has to be a better way!!
So tired of having to go in and say I am a passenger and not a driver!! Im sorry but after so long if you see I never touch my phone when I am driving then you should know that on the times my phone is touched then I am a passenger. Especially when I am on a long road trip and you give me 73 events!! I give up…give me a bad score. I will gladly lose my discount to never have to open your app again!!
