### 5/5 — Good App, Legitimate Study

*2024-09-15, version 1.3.1*

I was happy to participate in this study for UPenn. Everything went smoothly and worked great. I would definitely consider joining one of their studies again if I had the option.

### 5/5 — Great app, legitimate study!

*2024-09-11, version 1.3.1*

I came across this app as an extra way to make money for sharing my driving data for a study. Payments were always prompt and you are able to transfer from the visa to your bank account which is excellent. If I ever had any questions, I received a quick response.

### 5/5 — good overall!

*2024-09-08, version 1.3.1*

used as part of a study and was a great way to passively make a little extra money as long as you’re driving safe. helped me notice areas of my driving that needed improvement. it doesn’t know the reason why you might brake hard or speed up in needed situations, so your score might go down a little (wish there was a way to “dispute” or see what specific moments caused your score to go down), but otherwise brings your attention to your driving habits and is reliable

### 5/5 — Seemed to accurately collect data

*2024-09-08, version 1.3.1*

Was part of a research study, was not bothered by the app at all. It seemed to collect data accurately

### 5/5 — Study Usage

*2024-09-08, version 1.3.1*

Used this app as part of a driving study.

### 5/5 — Awareness of driving habits

*2024-09-06, version 1.3.1*

With this app, I became more aware of my driving habits in a non-judgmental way. 
I noticed a difference in driving habits during certain times of the day and in one case, I changed my routine to ensure a safer drive. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this study.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-09-04, version 1.3.1*

I used this app as part of a driving study and found it to be amazingly accurate. It knew when I was a passenger in a car or riding my bike and tagged the trip correctly as a non-driver trip. I was impressed!

### 5/5 — Good driving analysis

*2024-09-02, version 1.3.1*

It told me where I was good and bad at. Of they bring this program back I’ll sign up for it again.

### 5/5 — Study

*2024-09-02, version 1.3.1*

Had this as part of a study, very reliable and interesting to be able to see all of this data about your driving. Trustworthy and would do another study with this app

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2024-09-02, version 1.3.1*

I really liked being a part of this program and look forward to see what is next.
