Must be stopped
This kind of app invades privacy. It promotes distracted driving by making you think more about the app than driving the car. Also it can’t differentiate between a passenger and a driver. Also they should make the app available as a test to learn if it drains your phone causes bad driving habits etc before agreeing to use it for a few dollars off premiums.
Not at all accurate
Faulty and sketchy data
Carpoolers beware
This app has good intentions but a few big pitfalls. -I carpool. Same route, different drivers depending on the day. I get pegged for distracted driving frequently when I am not driving. -80 mph speed limit. The freeway I take to work has a speed limit of 80mph. Speed of traffic is generally 85-90 in the right lane. I need to choose between putting myself in danger by driving too slow or getting pegged for speeding. Going into the app every. single. trip. to make sure I was marked correctly as a passenger or driver is exhausting and frustrating. As a note to the developers - this would be a tough app to develop. It is difficult to track distracted driving for sure. Best of luck, but these are some pitfalls I have noticed quickly.
A notification will dig you
This app is a joke and the only reason I have it is because my insurance gives a “discount” Most of the time my phone sits in the back seat in my bag and I still says driving distracted. If it sits in my cradle and I look at it wrong it digs me, and I never touched. It tells me the doors limit is 35 or lower in a 55….it the Hwy. If I have an alarm set and it gets turn off they dig you for that too. And all the access it wants to things I turn off for a reason is ridiculous. Insurance is already to expensive but that app helps screw you over even more.
Needs a Report Function
I am a safe driver. I don’t speed, I have small kids in the car so I am very careful. But this app consistently has wrong speed limits for my area or is enforcing yellow speed signs which NC law enforcement states are just suggestions and not enforceable speed limits. Additionally there is no way to say if someone else is using my phone while I am driving. There should be an option for this so that I am not counted as driving distracted if I am not the one using my phone. This app needs a way to report incorrect speed limits and to mark how one’s phone was being used in the car.
Major flaws!!!
Tired of having to constantly go in and mark when I am a passenger. Also, why am I getting a bad score for the time of day I drive. I can’t change my work hours. Which happen to be the hours of work for most of the population. When I worked midnights and had a different app I got points off for that. So tell me if I cant drive overnight or during the day then when is a good time if day to drive???
Inaccurate
If insurance companies are going to ask you to download an app for a discount, it should at least do the one thing it’s supposed to do. Every time I’m a passenger it records me as a driver, so I have a low score for distracted driving when I’m on my phone as a PASSENGER. It has no way to distinguish who is and isn’t driving and it says I’m speeding when I’m under the limit.
