I like the app. I don’t like the fact that it takes away from you for using your hands free phone. Having a phone that is connected to your car isn’t a distraction. I can do everything with my voice and I am still focused on driving!

The only reason I’m giving this three stars is because it’s getting me ten percent off my auto insurance. Depending on my score, it could save me more. Now to address several flaws. First is the sudden braking. If you stop at a stoplight, stop sign, or are yielding in a left turn lane to enter a business. It registers as sudden braking and lowers your score. Next is speeding. No matter what the speed limit, as long as you stay under eighty miles per hour, you are not penalized for speeding. I drive on a highway where speed limit is seventy five, so it’s pretty touchy. Next is time of day driving. I work rotating shifts at a paper mill. I do a lot of evening and early morning driving. Get deducted for that also. My current score is a 5.2 out of ten. Nowhere near enough to get a bigger discount. Fix these issues, and I’ll give a better score.

This app is supposed to record your habits while driving. It’s horrible. Shows I used my phone when I receive a text or message even though I don’t touch it. If you’re a passenger on a trip and it rates your score before you can edit the trip you’re stuck with that score. We rode in a side by side vehicle with someone else and it recorded several events I couldn’t edit. It records those “events” and effects your score the insurance company uses to “rate” your driving habits. It’s completely inaccurate. Horrible way to “rate” a driver.
