### 2/5 — Off-line Rates & App Automatically Shutting Down

*2025-01-23*

I never turn off the App, but today alone, I had to manually log in because the App wasn’t running in the background. I have the latest version so there is no update available. I’m also receiving multiple emails about the App being offline and a letter stating that so would be charge an offline rate if I didn’t leave the app running! This seems like a programming error that needs to be corrected more than punishing the paying customer.

### 5/5 — Satisfied Customer!

*2025-01-21, version 2.8.1*

II have been using the Noblr App for 4 months now and couldn’t be happier with the service. It tracks my trips perfectly and I am driving carefully, so my score is high. I think by being able to track my driving myself, it makes me a better driver. Thanks Noblr!

### 2/5 — Not too impressed with the math…

*2025-01-07*

USAA has always been a decent insurance company for me - since 1989.

But i recently switched to NOBLR - the USAA variable drive policy.

I was quoted $75 a month as a 6 month “fixed” rate, with a variable based on my driving applied above that at the end of each billing period. 

Sounds reasonable. Six months (fixed) at $75 a month is $450, you would assume based on 3rd grade math. 

But NOBLR charged $557, with a down payment of $185…THEN $75 a month for a 6 month policy. And when we do the 3rd grade level math it turns out NOBLR is actually charging $92 a month - NOT $75. 

This is called - in the legal and advertising world - “bait and switch.” I was quotes a much lower price and at the very last second was billed the higher rate. 

USAA is supposed to be affiliated with Our Military heroes, and not be dishonest, misleading, obfuscating, or unethical - and certainly not running a bait and switch, gaslighting, extra billing scheme. 

Beware - i complained - they ignored. So beware of the level of dishonesty you will be wrapped up in working with igNOBLR!

### 4/5 — Passcode vs Password

*2024-12-19, version 2.8.1*

I prefer to use the passcode.  But sometimes the password becomes the required login, without my approval.  That makes it difficult, because my password is not what I remember.

### 5/5 — Thanks Noblr

*2024-12-18, version 2.8.1*

Love the convenience of the app, customer service is top of the line, and the rates are reasonable!

### 1/5 — App Compatibility w/ IOS

*2024-12-01, version 2.8.1*

When you have your iPhone on low power mode, it automatically shuts off the “Background App Refresh;” which is needed to keep the Noblr app online. Seems redundant to even have a Noblr account if you can’t use a normal function on your phone to preserve it’s battery life.

### 1/5 — Extortionist company

*2024-11-28, version 2.8.1*

Every month they try to sneak in a $7.20 charge per driver claiming it’s an offline charge because your app went offline.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-09-03, version 2.8.0*

I live in an Army base and try my best to walk to work and the gym etc.  to save money on gas and this company seemed like a good idea for about $80 base price + (X)Miles. After 6 months they raise the fixed rate to $100 + (X)Miles. This app will charge you for flying in a plane, being a passenger in an Uber or friends car, and riding in a tank out in the field in the middle of nowhere. It’s annoying and screws you for taking public transportation and by walking places.

### 5/5 — Moved and found outstanding auto insurance

*2024-08-13*

When I moved to Las Vegas my neighbors were telling me how extremely high their car insurance was. I had a little time left on my old auto insurance policy so I started to around for insurance. I remembered that USAA had mentioned insurance on home and auto…they moved me over to Nolbr and I am so glad they did.

### 1/5 — FIX THE “You’re Offline” ERROR!!!

*2024-08-03, version 2.8.0*

I am NEVER offline - ever. Permissions are accurate, yet I get this email often. 

FIX THIS!!!
