The app has to track my location even when I’m not in my vehicle “for my safety”. That’s ridiculous, intrusive, and runs my battery down. Might not be worth the Drive Safe and Save discount unless you change some of this. Edited: I turn off Bluetooth when not driving my car (I often go many […]

Horrible App! The previous safe drive app was much better and only had to allow access to location, Bluetooth, and battery unrestricted. Now, we have to allow Bluetooth, location, nearby devices, physical activity, and battery unrestricted, which drains the battery! It won’t record trips if power saving mode is on. Also, it doesn’t record all […]
I have a lot of issues trying to log in. it seems like it times out after I get a verification number, it’ll just sit there loading after I type the number in. The biggest issue is I have it on auto pay, and for some reason, it never pays it, so I’m charged a […]
Constant price increases! Why?? This is the only insurance I’ve ever had since I started driving, never been in an accident and for some reason the price is changing almost monthly. You’d think with many years of loyalty, and a good record, your price would drop throughout the years. Nope! If this continues, I WILL […]
It’s truly horrific. I second the valid complaints of everyone else. Drive safe and save was bad. This is infinitely worse. The discount almost isn’t worth it. It’s also seemingly ruined my Bluetooth connectivity. Other devices, like headphones, have a ton of trouble connecting to my phone in a way they never have before. The […]
No need to move to the USSR, just down load this up and be monitored 24/7, whether you are driving or not. I did discover, however, that you can stop the app’s access to your physical activity, and still have your trips recorded. Also, this app encourages people to run yellow lights, because if you […]
the app is NOT very accurate. sometimes, I have even tried turning on to another road at 12 mph, and it flags for corning. on some roads, the speed limit posted doesn’t match the app. braking is another one that’s not accurate, as well as acceleration. you have to drive so easily and gently in […]
If you cancel with “state harm” make sure you call the 800 number to get your card off the website or app! If your card remains there and they screw up and don’t actually cancel your insurance YOU WILL BE AUTOCHARGED. You must call to remove, as the app will not let you remove a […]
The app is great for checking my insurance and paying my bill. Since it added the Drive Safe app onto it, it dropped the rating from 5 to 3. I had issues with the original showing a round about as cornering. I’ve mentioned it time and time again. It drags down my score. Today, I […]
In the last couple days, this app has been sucking down my battery! I have barely driven anywhere and definitely haven’t opened the app. I don’t know when it updated last, but if it was this week, you might have an issue. There’s no reason it should use much of my battery at all, and […]
I really wish they would fix the app. The drive safe and save is TOO sensitive. If I use (level 2 of 4) regenerative braking on my EV. Then I’m braking too hard. I swear maybe I just need to coast to a stop. and cornering is almost impossible! They want you to almost completely […]
seems to be accessing my location even when I’m not driving… intrusive enough to monitor my driving for a “discount” but you don’t need to know where I’m at when I’m not driving. programming needs to refine how it detects drives. Update: I assumed that would be your reply and as a software engineer, I […]
This new method of combining into one bill does is a bit confusing. It allows them to raise prices and makes it harder for you to discern if you’re getting a good deal on any one car or not. We have three cars and pay $1,400 plus dollars a year and drive less than 10k […]
this app is very glitchy. half of the time when I need to log into the app to update mileage readings, it won’t let me login, says there’s an error and I need to call tech support, the other times it’s fine. when it won’t let me login, I have to go thru their website […]
In order to have the drive safe and save, the app becomes far too intrusive. I don’t need a notification every single time I’m in a vehicle. Yet, you can’t shut notifications off, or they won’t allow the discounts. I understand precise location permissions, maybe even the physical activity, but this app does nothing but […]
I’ve had problems with my credit cards -stolen, lost, etc -and for most sites with auto pay set up, the old card gets declined, you get a message, and you update your payment card. Not with State Farm. It declines once & auto pay is suspended entirely as an option unless you call and manually […]
This app is nice for the most part, but there’s one thing I have an issue with. “Drive Safe and Save” is WAY too sensitive for cornering and hard braking. l drive like a grandma compared to a lot of people and I don’t take hard corners or hard brakes. It doesn’t just mark you […]
Mostly good, one annoyance. I can easily pay my bills here and keep track of my insurance info. But when I enter my odometer reading it says it updated and sent, and I get asked about it from the office anyway. Clearly it’s not getting through. It’s not automated but thanks for assuming. I talked […]
3 events in the last 14 days causes my acceleration score to go down to 67? 3 braking events gave me a 75? I drive a 21 year old F150. There is no way I’m accelerating too quickly. This is straight-up terrible. Also, why can’t you give some sort of notification when the app is […]
Ever since switching from the drive safe app to this one, I’m getting pegged for things I haven’t done. Phone distraction when my phone is stationary, screen off, speeding (64 in a 45 according to the app) in an area I NEVER speed and actively use cruise control to prevent it. Braking too hard when […]
