User reviews

Almost there.

I’ve been testing several safe driving apps over the past few weeks, trying to find the right fit for our family. The leading app in this space raises serious privacy concerns, so we looked for alternatives. One more privacy-focused option ended up being way too noisy — constant alerts made it unusable.

I had high hopes for this app as a “Goldilocks” solution. It’s headed in the right direction but still feels more like a beta than a finished product. The biggest issue is that setup and subscription have to be done from the teen driver’s phone, which isn’t practical. And unsubscribing has to be done from their phone too — not ideal for parents.

Another limitation is that driving isn’t tracked in real time; you can only see trips after they’re done, which wasn’t helpful in our case.

That said, I think this app has real potential if the developers narrow the focus to safe driving only and avoid trying to bundle in too many unrelated features. If they make improvements in the future, I’d definitely consider giving it another try. A clean, privacy-friendly driving app is something a lot of families are still looking for.

Response from developer

Thanks for using the app. Subscription has to be done from driver's iPhone because parents get to use the app for free. In iOS all subscriptions are managed from the iPhone that initiated the subscription (for all apps). Real time tracking: the app records speed every 500 meters. So, if the driver does not move, no iPhone battery iPhone is consumed. It would have been a lot easier to implement something that constantly measures speed but it would have run down the iPhone battery very quickly.

Doesn’t work

My son purchased the app, paid the $14, sent me an invite about 6 times, used 2 different emails for me, and I never received any of the invites. I emailed support and didn’t get a response. I want a refund and have no way of getting it. Smfh

Is stupid

I hate this

Epic Fail

I installed this app today to track my teenager on a road trip. We followed the install instructions and all the app can do is show where my teen stopped...never did it record the speed. I contacted the developer and did get responses in a very short amount of time, but there wasn’t a resolution available. I had to sign up for a subscription to get the 7 day free trial, but now I cannot get a refund.

Response from developer

Thanks for using the app. Please follow the instructions in our response and the app will work perfectly

Avoid

I followed all their directions - app frequently stops working. Madness. Save your money and use a real app. Better yet, use a fool proof OBC.
