1. I've checked the settings repeatedly everything is allowed, my phone is not in optimized status, there are absolutely no restrictions, the app says that everything is fine, and it still has not recorded trips for weeks unless I manually open the app... which is against the law in my state since you don't notice the app isn't running unless you're driving and MN has a hands free law.
2. I dont speed, brake hard or drive during the "bad" times and it says I'm driving towards a 3% discount upon renewal, even though it says I'm doing greatSome issues with accuracy when internet goes in and out.
3. It is hard to overcome negative feedback from earlier trips - it's been months since I've had a yellow or red trip, but my risk remains high.
4. Hot tip: before starting trip, turn on Google Maps and began navigation to somewhere (it doesn't matter where).
5. It is a bit of a pain, but this way you don't have to have location access on all the time draining your battery, and your trips will log.I've been trying to use this app for a few months, but it still rarely picks up my trips, maybe 25%.
6. Obviously, if that risk event happens every trip or every other trip, the driver has the risky habit.Rarely works when used as directed.
7. Also, can't use power saving mode with app and can't click "start trip" when it doesn't auto detect.
8. Notifications: Every one I've gotten says, it's too busy on the road this time, take public transportation, hard to drive at night, etc.
9. It is suggested to keep your phone from laying on the passenger seat, if the phone moves or falls off the seat the results of the ride may be inaccurate.
10. So the choice is clear, get a hard breaking or run a red light.The app doesn't follow standby directions at all.
11. It has been annoying dealing with, so I'll take the hit versus working to save only 7% so far in the first 6 months of using it.My only complaint about the app is the same one many people have.
