The app tracks your phone. Period. It has no way to determine, or option, to tell when you're a passenger, or if a passenger is using your phone. It also randomly "thinks" you're driving, i.e. pops up saying it's tracking your drive... While you're sitting at your desk. Very flawed. Also, when it updates your "score", there is no score ard or metrics or anything. Just a rate hike with no reasoning.

Do not use Maps or Waze during the trial period! It registers as "using the phone while driving" and counts against your score. Decativating the app or location services is logged and can count against your score. The insurance rates are great if you can navigate the traps within the app. Even if you are a great driver, your score will drop from certain issues within the app. This seriously needs to be addressed if a person is expected to have a near perfect score to be accepted.

It’s important to stay focused on the road, which is why we want to know how much you interact with your phone behind the wheel. Entertainment and navigation apps shouldn’t affect your score when they’re running in the background. If you have questions about your test drive, feel free to reach out to Customer Support at [email protected].

DON'T use this company. I took it out thinking it was a great deal. I used the safe drive app. I had to hit my breaks a few times to avoid deer, objects or other drivers. My score was 8 out of 10. After 2 months, I got notified my policy was being canceled on the 30 of that month because I didn't meet their standard. I called to see what was up was told nothing else. I was due a refund from the 24 to the 7, but they charge cancelation fees even if they cancel your policy to prevent refunding you
