Did something change?

When I first downloaded this app, it was very motivational and definitely helped me drive more safely.
Lately I don’t know what’s happening. My scores are increasingly going down and getting worse. I’ll leave my phone in my work bag and I’ll still get scores in the 60s for phone use.

Response from developer

We're very sorry you're having trouble with the Safe Roads Challenge app. We'd love to learn more about the problems you're seeing so we can help find a solution. To improve your phone score make sure your phone is secure before driving in a place like a cupholder or phone mount.  Safe Roads Challenge detects movement of the phone so if the phone slides around on a seat or is nudged/falls while turning corners, hitting potholes, etc., it is possible the app may detect a "distraction". Please email us at support@saferoadschallenge.com so we can investigate further. Thanks, your Safe Roads Challenge Support Team.

Great fun

Drive safe

Very useful

Easy to use and makes you drive in a safer way. I had no problem with installation on my 7 year old phone. I do stick my phone in a boxing glove jammed between the seats to secure it!

Hummmm

Daily trivia doesn’t give enough time. Not for those who have a hard time reading or are not intellectual. Hard to navigate. Good rewards. Not very accurate. It does help with safer driving.

Waste of energy

Six of my drives are missing from last week. Still waiting on two to show up from the past day. I’m tired of checking constantly. I don’t know the trick to getting them to show up. Sometimes it takes 12 hours, sometimes it’s instant, sometimes they never show up at all.

Response from developer

We're very sorry you're having trouble with the Safe Roads Challenge app. Please make sure you have done the following: go to your device's settings, scroll to and click on Safe Roads Challenge app, turn the 'Motion & Fitness' toggle to On, click into 'Location', choose 'Always' and turn the 'Precise Location' toggle On. In addition to these settings, low power mode needs to be turned off as that will interfere with Trips recording in the background of your phone.

Not working properly

It use to be a good app now it doesn’t count more then half my trips. May have to delete app completely it’s causing me more problems than I need.
Please fix it!!!
Support staff doesn’t even reply.

Inconsistent Recording of Driver Trips

Overall I like the app and ease of use; roughly 10% of my trips are not recorded despite all setting allowed to do so.

Trips not showing up

After the update my trips not showing I checked all my setting it’s all good .

It won’t even let me make an account

I am able to get through adding my phone number and name. As soon as I enter the code that was sent to my phone it says it’s not able to make an account. I’ve tried so many times now, even deleting and reinstalling the app

It’s free and can help improve your driving

I’ve had this app for over 3 months now and can attest to 2 small prizes and a killed habit of looking at my phone. This helped keep me accountable because the people I know (co-workers) would know my score. I like that you can compete as a state, or even against your own family. I hope folks can look beyond the small imperfections of an app, who’s objective is to make our roads safer. I’m not a fan of requiring something like this but I am a fan of this project being 100% voluntary!

Can’t make account

Sign up fails. Can’t even use the app itself.

Junk

Downloaded the app, created an account, completed my profile and went for a couple of routine drives. The app goes offline the moment you leave your home WiFi even though cellular data is turned on for the app. You cannot bring the app online by any method except returning to home WiFi and pressing the offline message, which is neither intuitive nor stated in the message or anywhere else. Nor can you exit that screen to seek app help.

It also does not record your drives apparently while offline, or perhaps at all. As of yet, they still haven’t appeared, nor have any of the other drives appeared.

Hard quit the app, rebooted the phone. Same results. Deleted the app, rebooted the phone, downloaded and reinstalled the app and tried again. Same thing.

Additionally, there’s no configuration setting for BEVs. BEVs naturally accelerate much faster than an ice car due to the torque conversion. Odds are you’ll get dinged for normal or even slow EV acceleration, but since it doesn’t record, doesn’t stay online except when using WiFi, it doesn’t really matter.

Don’t download it, don’t use it. Probably a scam to get data and nothing more. Deleted.

Sneaky

Setting your location tracker to always and requiring to access fitness and motion is very ridicules. App is just a way to access your data and sell it.

It’s OK

Ok I’ve had this app for about 2 years or maybe a year and a half. And I have to say the challenges are fun. BUT it’s NOT accurate at all. I say this bc it supposedly calculates a lot of things that’s not right. It really needs some work on that end. And I see I’m not the ONMY person that thinks this. But that’s the only complaint I have. Fix that part and I’ll give u 5 stars✨…

APP STOPPED WORKING!

I’ve had this app for several years now. I really like it, and the new design makes it better. But now it is not working at all.

Can’t login

It logged me out and is asking for name, dob etc, and if i enter them it just gives that loading screen and nothing happens.

Doesn’t work

Downloaded it for personal use. But apparently you need to join a platform.
