### 4/5 — The Apps are great

*2026-06-14*

The apps are great but attitude without consideration will lose customers.

### 3/5 — Very convenient app

*2026-04-28*

I would say the overall experience and design of the app makes it very easy to use.

Issues
Background location services kills the phone battery. A dedicated device should be a future solution instead of an app that consumes the device battery even when not using your vehicle.

### 2/5 — Constant login requirement

*2026-04-28*

The app terminates login session after couple hours. Remember me does not work. So almost every time you want to open the app you need to enter your credentials. This drives me crazy

### 3/5 — Won’t allow me to change drivers

*2026-03-08*

I carpool to work quite often so I need to be able to change when I am the passenger. It has allowed me to do that many times in the past, but since the last update, it is no longer allowing me to do that. Unfortunately, one of my carpooling people is not the best driver, so now this is going on my record. Please fix the glitch that is causing me not to be able to change this.

### 2/5 — Stop logging me out of my account

*2026-02-26*

Literally every time i go on this damn app it’s like “oh we realized you left so we logged you out” when for the first week of having it i was always logged in when i opened it. Why is this an issue now? and can y’all please for the love of god knock it off!

### 1/5 — Malfunctioning

*2025-10-23*

I am driving car , every access is given and yet it doesn’t record my trip.

### 3/5 — Apps not accurate record you driving

*2025-10-20*

This apps needs improvement to mark at which point on the driving your take break or speed higher than limit to help driver awareness

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-10-14*

I am happy with Scotia insurance, the cost of annual insurance premiums are affordable.

### 1/5 — Half scam

*2025-10-07*

Scotio auto , worst insurance they scam people with coverages, i have  open claim with them where my car went through vandalism, when i sent my car to there linked body shop , they have done half job on my car , when i saw my car half fixed , they mentioned these are old damages and give foolish , people sitting at desk  of computer they will decided what has to be fixed and whats not , i m still fighting with them , there claim officer dont have logical explanation , he only repeat same line like AI computer ….

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — New update sucks

*2026-06-29*

Now it won’t work unless I purchase a fancier phone. I guess I won’t be using this app anymore

### 1/5 — Support

*2026-06-10*

I can’t email you guys and don’t want to stay on hold but your app keeps timing out and I can’t even reset the password

### 1/5 — Insufficient information

*2026-06-02*

Although my policies are linked. The app only shows one policy

### 1/5 — Premiums are high!!!

*2026-05-16*

1. I am writing to express my disappointment with my current premium rates. Despite being a loyal customer for two years with a clean driving record—free of any points or citations—my rates remain unjustifiably high. A lot of other companies have best deals .. give it a try! 
2. Furthermore, my recent experience with customer service was highly frustrating; rather than assisting me in correcting a minor error, the interaction only added to my dissatisfaction."

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-04-28*

Not user friendly. Supposedly able to view digital insurance card but unable to do so.

### 1/5 — Application peu fiable

*2026-03-29*

On a souvent de la difficulté à corriger le trajets erronés.

### 1/5 — Ma conduite pas facile !!!

*2026-03-29*

Cette application est peu fiable, plusieurs fois par année on ne peut ajuster les trajets. Il faut perdre un temps précieux à appeler pour faire corriger les erreurs de trajets.

### 1/5 — Mécontent

*2026-01-20*

Mon assurance est passée de 395$ à 627$ sous prétexte que j’ai fait un accident, pourtant c était un choc chez moi et en plus j’ai fait la réparation moi même et j’ai déclaré, alors pourquoi doubler pratiquement mon assurance? Je ne peut plus référer votre compagnie d’assurance à mes amis.

### 1/5 — Background Tracking

*2025-12-04*

The app constantly accesses my location in the background and won’t let me switch the setting to “While in Use.”
As a result, it consumes a lot of battery.

### 1/5 — let me stay logged in pls

*2025-11-29*

Why am I forced to type and login every time

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — On palm

*2026-07-25*

It’s amazing and easy to use

### 5/5 — Good one

*2026-07-19*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Exceptional Service

*2026-06-30*

I had a fantastic experience with Scotia Insurance. The customer service team was excellent, providing clear and timely information throughout the entire process of getting my policies. They truly listened to my needs and offered flexible pricing that fit my budget perfectly. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and efficiency!

### 5/5 — Cut me off on insurance

*2026-06-20*

Cut me off on insurance because I didn’t fill out a survey in time so they canceled me

### 5/5 — It's a great program

*2026-06-05*

If only it were modified, because the traffic congestion always causes brake pressure issues. And he deducts a star from my score, of course, because I have to stop a lot during rush hour.

### 5/5 — Very convenient app

*2026-04-10, version 5.72.0*

I would say the overall experience and design of the app makes it very easy to use.

*2026-03-13*
