1. And it also sucks that it when I pull over to take a phone call or to make a call I usually pull into a parking lot and it says distracted driving even when I go out of my way to make sure my car is stopped and in park.Doesn't even let me begin anything! When I open the app and click 'Get Started', it asks for my phone number so it can send me a code.
2. Such as using your phone for navigation (setting up google maps and then not even touching the phone until you've reached your destination and parked) being counted as distracted driving.
3. There should also be a way to set it up in the case that a passenger is using your phone while you're driving because that's another frequent occurance for me (usually I end up just turning off my location and not tracking those trips because it's annoying for it to count a passenger using my phone as me using it).
4. So far distracted driving isn't counted into the driving rating (as far as I know) but if it were that would really suck because my work requires me to regularly drive to unfamiliar places (which means using google maps).
5. There should be a way to make it so navigation doesn't count as using your phone/distracted driving unless you're actually engaging with the phone.
6. Personally I would consider that to be just as distracting as using a phone while driving.
7. Honestly if it weren't for the insurance discount I wouldn't even bother with it.Great in theory, but significant battery drain and doesn't seem to be in tune with around town driving.
8. I checked my drive and it dinged me 8 points for driving at high speeds.The application is nice, EXCEPT how sensitive it is to acceleration and deceleration.
9. I'm getting dinged for my friends driving.Drains your battery and claims excessive acceleration when getting on highway.
10. This app runs more of risk to cause you an accident because you contemplate your better judgement in order to avoid your score being dinged by the app rather than focusing on the actual real time events that are occurring on the road that require quick and decisive action.
11. My kid can't even use my phone while I'm driving because it's considered distracted driving & I'm not the one on the phone.
