So here's my honest take on Root: Better car insurance. I've tried a bunch of finance apps and this one's pretty solid. The idea of getting discounts for safe driving is genius, and in my experience the app does a good job of tracking that. The rates are way better than my old insurance. But it's not without its issues - the app can be a little buggy at times and the claims process isn't as fast as they claim. Overall though, I'd say it's worth giving a shot if you want to save some money on your car insurance.

Description

Been using Root: Better car insurance for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that tracks how you drive and gives you discounts based on that. Pretty solid if you’re looking for an easier, cheaper way to insure your car.

Here’s what you do – the app has you take a test drive so it can analyze your driving. Then it gives you a personalized rate that’s way lower than other insurers if you’re a safe driver. There’s also cool features like fast claims and customizable coverage. Took me a while to figure some of that out, but it’s actually really useful.

Look, if you’re tired of overpaying for car insurance, you’ll probably like Root. It’s not perfect – the app can be a little glitchy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want smarter, cheaper car insurance.

This isn't about the insurance itself, but about the app. The app is very glitchy and inconsistent. I drive the exact same route to work and home every day. Some...

1. Driving score is based on only 2 things: braking and phone use while driving 2. No way to signify that you are not driving (in someone else's car). 3....

This is one of the most irritating companies I've ever seen. All the bills are automated, which means they simply slurp money from your card every month. And what happens...
