DriveGrade grades every drive and tells you how it went. Record a Trip, tap Finish, and see your Trip Score, your Driving Style and a short note from Trip Coach, written on your iPhone by on-device AI. TRIP SCORE AND DRIVING STYLE Every finished Trip earns a Trip Score from A+ to D, based on how well you kept to the speed limit and how smoothly you accelerated and braked. Speed alone never lowers your score. Each Trip also gets a Driving Style: calm, steady, dynamic or aggressive. TRIP COACH, ON-DEVICE AI When a Trip ends, Trip Coach writes a headline and two sentences about that drive: the long smooth stretch, the sharp stop, the one change that would lift your score. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model writes it and the note is marked "On-device AI". Your Trip is never sent to a server for it. On other iPhones, you get a note built from the same measurements. ACCELERATION RUNS Start from a standstill and time 0-60 mph, 0-100 km/h or your own target speed with GPS. Every Acceleration Run saves a speed chart, so you can compare it with your best run. APPLE WATCH Start, pause and finish a Trip from your wrist and see your live speed. When you finish, the Watch shows your Trip Score, Driving Style and the Trip Coach headline. Put your last Trip Score on your watch face with the complication. Your iPhone records the Trip, so keep it with you. WIDGETS AND CONTROLS - Trip Score widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen: last grade, Driving Style and Trip Coach headline - Start Trip control for Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button - Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you record MIRRORED HUD AND 10 GAUGES At night, lay your iPhone on the dashboard and read your speed reflected in the windshield. By day, pick one of 10 gauges, from F1 and GT Car to Minimal, in km/h, mph or m/s. SPEED-LIMIT ALERTS Choose a limit from presets that match where you drive: 50 to 120 km/h, 35 to 75 mph in the US, 30 to 70 mph in the UK. You get an alert and a haptic as you get close and when you go over. HISTORY AND EXPORT Every Trip is saved with its route map, speed chart, distance and duration. Driving stats sum up your week, month and year. Share a Trip snapshot or export your Trips to a file. TRY EVERYTHING FREE Without a subscription you get 3 Free Trips with every Pro feature working, including Trip Score, Trip Coach, HUD, speed-limit alerts and Apple Watch, plus 3 Free Acceleration Runs. A Trip recorded as a Free Trip keeps its details, snapshot and export. The live speedometer is always free. DRIVEGRADE PRO Pro unlocks unlimited Trips and Acceleration Runs with every feature. Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://umutarduc.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://umutarduc.com/privacy.html GPS speed depends on satellite reception. Set up before you drive, keep your eyes on the road, and do Acceleration Runs only where it is safe and legal.
