## What is SafeDrive?

If you have a teenage driver or any driver whose driving behavior you would like to monitor, this app is for you.

******  See what parents have said about this app in the review section *****
 
Here are the highlights:

- Both the Driver (e.g., a teenage driver) and the Observer (e.g., the parent of the driver) install the app 

- The Driver invites the Parent to observer his/her driving behavior

- After that, the app automatically measures the driver speed and uploads it securely to iCloud

- The Observer can monitor the speed and location of the driver 

- Supports daily, weekly and monthly views

- App shows the posted speed limit and parents get a notification if the driver exceeds the posted speed limit by more than 5mph

- Set a speed threshold and the instances that the driver speed has exceeded the threshold will be marked as red on the map

- You can monitor multiple drivers

- Get notifications when the driver disables/enables recording the speeds

- Simple and beautiful user interface

The app is FREE to download, but offers a subscription for the driver.  Observers (e.g., the parents who monitor the driver) do not need a subscription and get to monitor speed recorded by the driver for FREE.  Subscriptions include a FREE 7-day trial period during which the app is fully functional. 


What you get with the in-app-purchase: Uploading driving speed and location information so that observers (e.g., parents) can monitor speed and location information of drivers.

### 3/5 — Almost there.

*2025-06-27, version 4.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-08-12, version 3.0*

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

### 1/5 — Is stupid

*2020-06-12, version 2.8.7*

I hate this

### 1/5 — Epic Fail

*2019-12-07, version 2.8.7*

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.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2019-11-28, version 2.8.7*

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.

### 2/5 — No title!!!!!

*2019-11-04, version 2.8.7*

Delete!!!!

### 2/5 — Great when works

*2019-10-19, version 2.8.7*

This app is great, when it works. It turns itself off and on and doesn’t record speed all the time.  My kid swears he doesn’t turn it off...goes inactive.  Am going to look for something different.  Have emailed support before, took over a week for an answer and it wasn’t an answer.

### 1/5 — Was going to use but...

*2019-08-28, version 2.8.7*

For some strange reason the app requires location services to be on for the parents monitoring the teen.  If im not monitoring my driving i shouldnt need location services on “always”.  Will drain battery for no reason.  If that gets resolved i would use and change my rating.

### 5/5 — Watching over

*2019-04-24, version 2.8.7*

Not over complicated but does what it’s supposed to, if you want bells and whistles get something that will cost you a lot more money and confusion but if you want to know where your teen driver is and how fast there going get this app.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-03-08, version 2.8.6*

This app is garbage it takes your money and doesn’t help wot anything. I tried to use the app but once you pay to use the main purpose of this app which doesn’t work. 

I would give it zero stars but I can't

## Frequently asked questions about SafeDrive
