Driver is here to ensure you’re taken care of on the road. Driver offers a fully connected driving experience through our Cloud + App platform, covering liability protection, roadside services, claims assistance, speedometer, driver education, legal and vehicle support, partner deals, and more. The Driver App has two primary modes for liability protection: 1) Dash Cam 2) Pocket Drives. In both modes, your trips are fully enriched with location, speed, G-force, weather, and telematic events and are automatically uploaded to the Driver Cloud after the end of your drive. Sharing a trip with your insurance, boss, or family is as easy as sending a URL link to your trip on the Driver Cloud. DASH CAM MODE with Apple CarPlay: Driver Cloud Historical View Backup full length HD videos of all your trips to the Driver Cloud with a 90-day lookback Clip Capture Bookmark a 1-minute segment of your trip for easy access Dual Camera Record external & internal video simultaneously on iPhone XS or newer. Automatic Storage Management Driver App automatically deletes all trips successfully uploaded to the Cloud after 2 days to save space on your phone. POCKET DRIVES MODE: All the data you need to share your story minus video. The perfect companion for outdated hardware dash cams or for days when your phone is left in your pocket. DRIVER PREMIUM: Gain peace of mind knowing you’ve got your back covered. - Store HD versions of your trips on the cloud by uploading over Wi-Fi - Get roadside assistance 24/7 throughout the U.S. within 15-30 minutes (U.S. only) - A tree planted every month - Camera and video customization options - Free Driver Cooler to use Driver in Dash Cam mode (Limited time offer, available only on annual plans, U.S. only) DRIVER AI: Driver uses machine learning algorithms to automatically capture hard braking, hard accelerations, speeding, near accidents, unsafe following events, and more. Data is knowledge and can be used by anyone to become a safer driver. TIPS: - Connect your phone to Apple CarPlay to use Driver in Dash Cam Mode alongside your preferred navigation and music apps - Use a dash mount that allows Dash Cam mode to record in landscape - For longer trips, keep your phones plugged into your charger (USB cable) - During hot summer days, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight ABOUT DRIVER: At Driver, our mission is to make driving safer and smarter for everyone. The non-paid version of the App is ad-free and absolutely free. Please check out https://www.drivertechnologies.com to learn more about Driver’s product offerings.

Easy, effective, just what I needed-New comment…

New comments: Love the new improvement with picture in picture feature so my navigation map is visible when driving. This app keeps getting better. Thanks.Original review: It’s easy to open the app, place the phone on my magsafe mount in the center of my dash, press record, and go. I do it without thinking now. I love the fact that I can quickly delete uneventful trips, or set a schedule for deletion so it doesn’t overload my phone. I can also see stored videos online if needed for a truly modest subscription. I can choose HD if I want to capture small details like license plates, etc. I recently saved some video of a near miss so I know I can access an accident if needed. I’m able to review trips on my Mac—a nice convenience. I also used it with navigation and it worked fine. I’m on an iPhone 14, so I don’t have an option to record sound yet, but that’s not a feature I have to have. It beeps if it detects a possible hazard, and clearly identifies the objects in front of me by name—car, bus, truck, person. Frankly, I can’t believe this app is available for my phone. I can’t think of a single reason why I’d want to pay for an independent dashcam. This does the job effectively, with a device I already own. Great app.

I’ve enjoyed hundreds of different apps since the 2007 inception of iOS. Never before have I felt the need to congratulate a developer on a job well done; as it’s my humble opinion: a job is not worth doing if it can’t be done right. Driver however is SO incredibly well done, I’m embarrassed i looking into physical dash cams at all. Usability: the app itself is straightforward and wonderfully designed. In all honesty, skip the tutorial and go straight to the app— navigating the tutorial was more confusing than the app itself.Features: base app is loaded to begin with, add the 4.99 premium and you’re upgraded to the cloud which can store videos as well as make trip summaries, driver assistance features such as object identification and crash warning… and literally what blew my mind: if you provide your address, they’ll mail you a car mount. A FREE car mount. A free COOLING car mount to prevent your phone from overheating in the windshield. I expected the thing to arrive in six month given the price point… it arrived in three days. Quality: I’m downright flummoxed how they’ve managed to accomplish recording simultaneous high quality feeds with limited storage space required. About 6 hours of dual-cam fed footage is equivalent to 2 gigs on my phone. Wishlist: just one (which says a lot because I got needs)…you can identify people, you can identify buses and cars… how bout an alert when the light turns green?

Hello, and thank you so much for the kind review! I have ensured the developers got to read this and pat themselves on the back! We love our product, and get excited about improving it to make the best tool we can for drivers. A lot of work goes into these features, and hearing that they are appreciated means the world to us! Driver's ability to identify objects has endless possibilities in what we can do with it! In time, we can work towards identifying objects that we believe increase the safety of the Driver, such as traffic lights. We hope to hear any additional feedback you may have by emailing us at support@drivertechnologies.com. Thank you again!

Nice, but missing key feature

Easy to use app, but speed is locked behind premium. Not worth $5/month when I can get that feature with a one time payment of buying a dash cam. Average speed is useless, if I need to fight a ticket, live speed synched to camera and gps is needed. I was pretty excited about this until I realized the speed wasn’t there. I’d be willing to pay a higher one time fee to unlock live speed, but I’m not paying for anymore subscriptions. No wonder people complain about not being able to afford rent when they’re spending their rent money on 100 different subscription services.ETA: they did offer a free trial of premium for me, but I will have to decline as I will not renew and I don’t want to use services that cost you money when I know I won’t be convinced in the end. If it ever becomes available in the free version though, let me know, this is a great app that I would happily use. Another option if you want to still incentivize the premium plan is to have the live speed stored in the video data but not displayed in the free version. So you gotta go premium to see it live, but if you need to defend a ticket with the free version, you can pull up your saved video and see the live speed.

Hello, and thank you for the review and feedback! We understand providing your real time speed is an important feature when it comes to defending yourself. Driver Premium is required to view your real time speed as it is linked with other real time trip information available in the Driver Cloud to provide the driver with a complete backup of an incident, not just video. We appreciate your feedback, as making real time speed available without a subscription is a future possibility. I would love to provide you with a trial of Premium so you can see for yourself how it works! Please email us at support@trydriver.com and we can set you up! Thanks again for using Driver!

Ok first off I have an iPhone 11 ProMax. I am not experiencing any of the issues some users are saying about low volumes while listening to music with the app running nor any phone overheating issues at all. I’m usually using Apple Car Play and can listen to my music and have Apple Maps running and have no heat issues or volume or sound quality issues while this app is running. That’s a plus. My issue is with the recording video size in one giant recording instead of smaller loops. This eats a large amount of storage space on my phone and I have not found a way to delete unwanted recordings except wait a week for each one to drop off via the settings. That won’t cut it with me so now I pick and choose when I really want it to record in order to save space. I received no response as of yet when I emailed 1-2 weeks ago asking if there was a way to delete recordings. I may end up just purchasing a stand alone dashcam. I give them an A for effort though. If I see some improvements I’ll change my rating.

Hi there! First off, are you a bush pilot?? And if so, do you use our app for flying too? 😁 Second off, thank you so much for your feedback, I'm really happy to hear that you've not experienced the same CarPlay audio issues, we've been working really hard on getting it fixed. I absolutely hear you with regards to your issues! We've been dealing with email deliverability issues where some of our emails have gone to spam so I'm very sorry that you didn't receive a reply from us!! It's our policy to reply to every single email, message, review because we're doing all of this for you, our users!There's actually a way to delete videos manually! All you need to do is go to the Gallery in the app and swipe left on a trip to delete it. We're actively trying to work on a better onboarding flow/tutorials within the app to help with user education. This is on us! Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience! If you swipe right, you'll actually be able to share/export the trips as you open up the video trimmer :)We actually used to do a loop video recording! But we found that it didn't play nicely with our mapping functionality and wasn't as useful when it came to reporting incidents, so we changed to recording trips as a whole. In fact, moving towards incorporating full trip recordings was a request from other users & was a tougher technical challenge to implement. We're now trying to figure out how to also allow loop recording as another option depending on the users' needs/wants!Hope this helps!! And please do email us at support@driverdashcam.com if you need more assistance. We can find another way to get in touch if our reply doesn't reach you again.
