KnowYourDrive Customer Insights

1. There isn't an option for if a passenger is using your phone while you're driving but you can claim that you were the passenger if you remember to go back 24-48 hours after your trip because that is how long it takes to post to the app.

2. However, if my husband is driving my car and I am the the PASSENGER using my phone it records it as distracted driving.

3. It gives me distracted driving when I am parked in my driveway, parked at work, and even when my phone is in my bag.

4. Yesterday, on a half mile trip, I had it report 4 dings in the same spot for fast acceleration in a location I would actually have braked in, because it's right by a turn and I drive slowly through my neighborhood.

5. It will start my drives out 5-6 blocks away from my house, showing I had a sudden breaking incident and apparently flipped an illegal U-turn in the middle of the road to continue on my journey in the correct direction.

6. Terrible app.When a company requires you to download and keep an app running in order to qualify for a discount, they should make sure that app works properly.

7. I've been using it for a week and keeping a very close eye on my driving and what the app is saying.

8. I'll give it a little longer, but I liked Sprint's Sprint Drive better as that plugged into the car directly.App only works 40% of the time, and then I get a billing update due to not using the app.

9. What's the point of a program to get a discount if the app for it doesn't work most of the time.

10. I tested it out yesterday to see if I was being dinged for speeding (which is NOT how "high speed" is defined in the app) and stayed exactly at the limit, and it still marked me.

11. It is constantly running, even when you aren't driving, and at this point almost feels like a complete invasion of privacy.
