The app is very simplistic really easy to use. it records where you drive so it’s kind of great see how many miles you drive daily visually. ### 5/5 — Legitimate study app *2024-09-01, version 1.3.1* This app was great for learning more about how my driving habits are perceived by telemetry devices. Driving a sports car doesn’t look great for the data that was collected with the app seeing “hard braking” and rapid acceleration resulting in lower scores. I didn’t think I was stopping hard or launching too much but the app surely thought so. It’s nice to see this data, and it’s convinced me not to use a tracker from my insurance! This study paid well too. ### 5/5 — UPenn Drive Study *2024-09-01, version 1.3.1* I entered a study with UPenn to research my driving habits and was pleasantly surprised to see the results! It was good to see how safely I drove in my area along with how frequently I visited places near me. The app was not intrusive at all and if I had a question, I received an immediate response. ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Great study *2024-09-01, version 1.3.1* I enjoyed being part of this study. It helped me see how I brake when driving. The app was easy to use. Being part of a study that could be helpful in the future was interesting. Plus getting weekly payments was a plus. I would do this again definitely ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-09-01, version 1.3.1* A cool way to make extra cash for doing nothing. It is legit and all payments were on time. ### 5/5 — Safe Driving tips *2024-08-28, version 1.3.1* I signed up for the safe driving research program this app offers. I downloaded the app and received tips on how I was driving and was also given small weekly incentives. It really helps you with your driving skills and gives you tips on how to make improvements. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Great app and organization *2024-08-27, version 1.3.1* I was part of a recent study that used this app. They did a great job. Everything was very professional, organized and well done. The driving feedback was very helpful and interesting ### 5/5 — First rate app *2024-08-26, version 1.3.1* I used this app for months it’s fantastic- reported data to Penn State- This is legit/ ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-08-26, version 1.3.1* I entered this study not exactly knowing what to expect and even a little skeptical. Glad to see I was wrong. I drive for a living so it was so cool to see all my drives for the day or the week and even making sure to drive as best as I could and raise my safety score. It is amazing how the app detects location and movement. The best part is you get paid for it and it does add up, therefore I highly recommend you join this study. ### 5/5 — Great app for a great cause *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* I participated in the UPenn Safe Driving Study and allowed them to monitor my phone usage through this app while I drove. It’s simple to use and worked great for me. UPenn notified me when the study concluded so I could uninstall the app. I’m honored to participate in this research study. I hope we can make the roads a safer place for everyone. An added bonus was getting paid after every week I drove while the app monitored my habits. Getting paid for something you’re already doing is a deal I’m always down for! The payments were easy to access and I added the virtual debit card to my Apple wallet so I could use it just about anywhere. ### 5/5 — Easy! *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* Enrolling in this study was very easy. All I did was install the app and it did the rest. I love how it texted me when I was paid as well as when it was giving me tips on how to improv my driving. If you have the chance to be a part of this study, I highly suggest signing up. ### 5/5 — Good app, good study *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* The only issue I ever had with the app was occasionally needing to manually mark that I had been a passenger, not the driver, for certain trips, but it was always easy to use and reliable. Members of the Penn research team were receptive to feedback and helpful when I had questions. ### 5/5 — Paid attention to my driving *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* Knowing this app was surveying my driving made me more aware of my driving. It also made me laugh at how other people drive crazily to get somewhere and for what reason really? ### 5/5 — Great Study *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* I participated in this study for about 2 months and I never had any problems! I got paid each week on time and I did not have any issues with the app. ### 5/5 — Just finished the driving study *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* The app worked perfectly fine for me the entire time. It accurately recorded all of my driving data and the study team paid me accordingly. I would recommend joining this study. It’s super easy and didn’t require me to do much extra work except driving like I normally would with an app installed. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-07-16, version 1.0.1* I entered the study to detect my driving and how safe I am as a driver. Easy to use and install and the emails and text came weekly and were insightful and helped me become a safer driver. Got paid on time each week. Recommended! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible. Don't Download This App! *2024-05-16, version 1.0.1* Terrible app and study. Showed as recording drives in the app, but I got texts that no drives were recording. Sent an email and they said fine on their end. A month later got kicked out for not driving enough. Tried to get payment for my month of drives but they said I only earned $5. Got emails saying there were issues with payment. Tried to withdraw my $5 weeks later and ran into error. Emails are inconsistent and no coordination between team members. Wonder if the study is actually about behavior and $*** people are willing to put up with. Don't believe researchers at an Ivy League school would intentionally be this stupid. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Scammy *2024-04-17, version 1.0.1* Participated for 3-4 weeks and was kicked out because the “app detected too few drives”, despite having 6 drives that week. UPenn still didn’t fix the issue despite evidence of the drive logs showing the drives, and they did not answer whether I will be compensated for that week either. Don’t expect much if you participate. ### 4/5 — Driving analysis app *2024-09-01, version 1.3.1* I used this app for a study. The feedback from the study did help me to become a better driver. I wish it would let me look at the stats from the drives myself without the study. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* Easy to use! It monitored my driving and gave me helpful tips on improvement if needed. ### 4/5 — Good App *2024-08-25, version 1.3.1* I used this app as part of a study. It does a good job of analyzing your driving habits such as focus, breaking, and accelerating. It obviously can’t “see” reasons why you might be braking hard (car swerves in front of you, ball rolls across road) or accelerating (avoiding someone not looking on an on-ramp), so your ratings maybe lower in some areas. It does, however, bring your attention to areas of driving where you can make positive changes. Very helpful. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
