Dings for hard brakes. even using their own data i have .2-.25G well under .33G yet flags them all day long and forget about braking for yellows. yellow means speed up or just run the red. support says it's some third party software out of China so good luck getting it fixed
Used for a cheaper rate on our insurance, not sure I like being tracked everywhere I go.
helps keep drivers accountable. the only problem is sometimes multiple drivers with app are driving in same car and it doesn't seem to always allow non drivers to negate the trip ... getting dinged for using cell phone, other driver's habits, etc
The app operates in the background and tracks your driving habits. The results have saved me hundreds of dollars in car insurance payments.
There are a few places on the map that the speed limit is incorrect. I got dinged for speeding when the posted speed limit was 55 mph and the map said the speed limit was 30, the speed limit never changed. There isn't anywhere to give a reason for hard braking, as in avoiding hitting a deer darting across the road in front of you.
so far I like it, but when you use your phone for navigation the app dings you for that, and it knows if passengers are on the phone.
*update - I would say 85% of my hard braking issues are me preventing an accident. Such a dumb app. I am glad it saves me money but seriously the hard braking part needs to go away. Can't pass a slow vehicle without getting dinged on it. Would have hit a pheasant today had I not hit the brakes hard. Got dinged for that too. This app is so bad. I understand distractions, but braking should not count against you and you should get some leeway for passing another vehicle.
This appointment pretty much turns you into a worse driver. Dings you for "fast stops" that border on ludicrous. A light turned yellow, there was no way I could safely make it so I slowly stopped. Got dinged. Maybe the unit they sent me is bad. Stay away from this. Oh, yeah - it doesn't ding me for speeding at all. What a terrible app or process.
I find this app very helpful in keeping safe driving skills at the forefront of my thoughts while on the road. In rural states it might be helpful to have a category on fast braking that says "animal on road" or "sudden slow moving equipment /vehicle" or "construction" to explain why it is necessary. Likewise, there could be one in speed that says "necessary to keep up with steady flow of heavy traffic" or "following guide vehicle" .
many of the stoplights in my area don't give tons of warning. so we are getting dinged on our score for hard braking when we shouldn't be. How about avoiding accidents. if we are going to get beat up in our score from that, and it basically cancels out everything good we do. What's the point of using the app. freaking joke
