It’s pretty ridiculous. I have no accidents, and never had a moving violation in my life, and Im over 50. It’s not possible to drive the exact speed limit in reality. Hard braking isn’t hard braking here, it’s braking. They take points away for the most minuscule things. The app wants permission to track your […]

Initially was useful in, apparently, discounting based on driving. Then we noticed the score inexplicably going down despite achieving perfect scores and driving cautiously as heck (and having angry drivers blow by) ! The algorithm is obviously flawed and not worth being tracked. We went from initial 90% to 100% to 70% each without changing […]

Don’t brake for deer in the road or someone cutting you off. That’s hard braking and a negative mark against you. Evidently, they would rather you wreck your ride. And don’t let your kid have your phone in the back seat, choosing different songs to play, that’s “distraction.” Also, a negative mark. It doesn’t know […]

App calculates inaccurate overall Score Ratings. The monitorings of Speed, Distraction, Hard Braking Hard Acceleration, are all 99 to 100 overall, and at the same time, the App has my Overall Score at 85. My Overall Score dropped from 89 to 85 within a week. There is No reasonable explanation why that happened, and after […]

this app isn’t accurate. driving things happen beyond our control. if someone cuts in front of you pulls out from a side street no warning and not enough space you have to hit the brakes. this app records when I’m IN the GYM on the hydro boost. it doesn’t record the speed zones correctly. I’ve […]

This app is not responding. I have downloaded it more times than I can count. Says I have no trips even when I get home from a trip. It’s totally frustrating! Works fine on my husband’s phone, which is older than mine. It records my drives on his phone when I am driving, but it […]

App only responds to vehicle computer. Not actual driving conditions! Speed limit signs do not always face the road correctly, vehicle computer doesn’t read them and we are then considered to be speeding. Most of our driving is city, breaking hard is a common thing, others pulling out of side streets and drive ways or […]

It is fun and I drive as I always do. I have been a good driver for a long time. Being bappreciated rocks! The app is not difficult. But right now my car has been under repair for a week and isn’t ready to be driven yet but you are already warning me to drive […]

Sorry, you don’t give the option if, 0 stars. I got a text message that you haven’t recorded any trips, AS I WAS DRIVING!!! You have also, in the past, recorded me, while I was in my house!!! I have uninstalled, and reinstalled this STUPID APP too many times. You can see that my driving […]

I have never used a driving app before, but this has to be the worse ever. I drove for about 6 months with an average score of about 95. Then overnight it dropped to 73. No change in driving or stars. Now I can make the perfect 5 stars on all trips and my score […]

I like the app but if our driving scores go down because of phone use, it’s an issue. Every time I use my GPS app I get a lower score. If you can tell that my phone moved then you should be able to tell the difference between using GPS or other app and texting. […]

My numbers were high until I stopped for a yellow light that I knew I would not safely get through before turning red. I was going posted speed limit of 35 but had to stop a little quicker than usual. I’m just wondering if the app prefers that we run a red light! The “sharp […]

I’ve been using this app for about 18 months. I am a VERY careful driver, and have had perfect scores for the three parameters the program measures (speeding, distracted driving, braking). However in the last few months, I have watched my score decline from the 90’s range, down to the sixties. Yet it says my […]

Have been trying for over a month to get set up. Never get the validation text, and emails to support go unanswered. I guess I will lose my discount, all due to an app that cannot even be set up. edit: yup. lost the discount which negates any savings, plus my time. The Hartford service […]

This app worked fine for the first 6 months. Then I got a new phone and when I reinstalled the app, my score was showing 7. (Previous scores had been between 65 and 75.) After a few days of running the app on the new phone, I noticed it was scoring oddly. I could get […]

(1/5)October 15, 2023

Having an application monitor you exact location where, when you go is very invasive. The accelerometers for acceleration, braking etc. would be more than enough to indicate what kind of a driver you are as a person. If the location could be turned off on the app, I would be more amenable to using it. […]

The scoring doesn’t make any sense. In the last 90 days (or even 6 months) if I average each trip score the #’s don’t match. Also, hard braking results do not seem to make sense; if the phone moves, you get dinged, and the data would indicate that you had to have run into something. […]

(1/5)August 15, 2024

These changes were not made in favor of anyone except Hartford. I had to brake hard to keep from hitting a deer at least twice since I installed the App. I got scored for it. I got scored for accelerating several times, almost every time to get up to the merge speed of the traffic […]

**A year later edit. This app is a scam I feel like. Once your score drops, you can’t get it back up. My score dropped 10 points in one week because of 3 events, I reported issues on 2 and got a generic response. A week later, with no issues, no increase. I canceled my […]

This app has stopped recording and updating my driving since June 18, 2025. I’ve reported this and was told to update app, make sure my phone is fully charged and location is on. I have not changed anything since the app was installed. It was always up to date, location is on and phone always […]
