This app uses an excessive amount of battery even when you are not driving. Fails to capture all travel when it is connected. What is the point?
I don't like the fact that this application tracks my phone when I AM NOT IN MY VEHICLE AND NOT DRIVING. In fact, being stalked. If the other driver, in a vehicle that IS NOT MINE, SPEEDS OR DRIVES POORLY, IT SHOWS ON MY PROFILE . I then have to go to the app and indicate that I wasn't driving and that the vehicle wasn't mine. If this isn't done, it can lower my driving score. The phone with the drive safe app should be evaluating the AARP MEMBER, DRIVING THE INDIVIDUALS INSURED VEHICLE.
Very cool app. I knew that I sometimes drove a little too fast. The app showed me that it happened far more often than I thought it did. Good to get that sort of reminder. I feel safer because of it.
I have never been able to get in this app. I go through the entire process to the security pictures and it just spits and spins. It's been over 10 minutes.
Overly sensitive Great concept but does a poor job of analyzing safe driving. For example I was driving the speed limit (45MPH), the light turned yellow. I did a proper controlled stop and it dinged me for Aggressive Braking. Next time I'll run the red light. From a stop sign I did a gentle start to 30 MPH and was flagged for Aggressive Acceleration. Nobody inside or outside my 20 YO truck would consider that Aggressive Acceleration. This app does not give a proper evaluation of safe driving.
I had this app and just uninstalled it... told me the speed limit on a highway was "35" when it was "65" and said I was speeding... not totally sure if this app somehow interacts with auto insurance companies or not but if it does, and they see "INACCURATE" information, I'm not paying more on my insurance due to this
The App seems pretty good BUT it is always sending me a notification that says Location Service Required .. Enable Google Location Accuracy. Well I have Precise Location Enabled at all times so what else needs to be set?!? PS: I would have sent this as a support item but no support address was provided....
First, it would not allow me to paste in a password, forcing me to type in manually. Big pain in the behind. Second, after entering username and password it said my email was not associated with AARP, which it is. I am not creating a separate account just for this app. Uninstalled.
Far too inflexible support, means that one cannot realistically dispute garbage reporting from the not all that sophisticated AI employed. If one is forced to slam on one's brakes because a cat runs out into the road, one is penalized for tailgating. Similarly, if one's phone moves around on the seat next to one, while its screen is on, the system assumes one is using one's phone while driving. Support people just stonewall.
This app actually makes me aware of the speeding, distracted driving, hard breaking, and fast cornering habits in my driving that I was totally unaware of. Great way to better yourself or to keep track of loved ones safe driving habits.
