App really sucks

It doesn’t actually update after 6 months. If you record a speeding event or a sudden braking, it’s suppose to reset your score in 6 months if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t you are always stuck at being a failure in its eyes. And it dings you if you drive between 8-9am and 5-6pm if you work 9-5 that means it will tell you you always suck at driving. This app is dumb and sucks and even support tells you there is nothing they can do to remove an event, you have to wait the 6 months and hope it deletes. App sucks

Inaccurate

It said I had 1 phone usage. When I never turned on my phone. Speeding part is inaccurate as well. It said I was going 10 over in certain places and it was wrong. I never did that. Speeding feature should’ve never been added. It said I was speeding at 15mph! Really?? In an open parking lot, no speed limit signs there either. Even gps speed limits are inaccurate. I absolutely hate dealing with this app but I HAVE to for my insurance discount 🙄🙄🙄

Battery drainer

40% battery drain on my battery when it was not in use overnight. This is ridiculous. If the app requires constant location services then figure out away to not use the services when the phone is stationary. My insurance company requires me to use this worthless app, but now I will shut it down. I use an iPhone 14 running iOS 26.5

Poor

Quite possibly the worst performing app I have ever used. Insane lag time, did not capture May 3 - May 24 at all, cannot look at prior months, inaccurately identifies events, no transparency in methodology. Customer service does not reply or declines to provide requested information. Can’t wait for the class action for failing to discount customers adequately.

Required by Insurance, But It’s a Battery-Draining Nightmare

I only have this app because my insurance requires it for a discount. I would never choose it otherwise. After using it, I understand why reviews like this exist.

The battery drain alone is alarming. This single app accounts for 54% or more of my battery usage. That’s not a background app. That’s a liability.

The bigger issue is how poorly it detects whether you’re a driver or a passenger. It consistently records me as the driver when I’m clearly a passenger…if someone is on their phone the entire time a vehicle is moving, that’s a pretty strong signal they are not driving. A well-designed app should be able to figure that out. This one can’t.

It also has zero reason to track my location constantly, yet it does. There’s no justification for that level of data collection for what this app is supposed to do.

I could go on, but what’s the point…insurance is still going to require this insanity.
