DriveTrend

Figured I’d do my due diligence and leave a pretty honest review. This app works great, except for a few areas. First, it does a pretty decent job of tracking exactly what you’re doing on your drives. The map data isn’t entirely too accurate, despite leaving multiple reports on the app. For example, I-465 in Indianapolis switched from a 55 mph zone to a 65 mph zone about 6 months ago. It still states that it’s 55 mph and I get dinged on it about once every 30 seconds or so. It also says I-69 in Bloomington is a 55 mph zone. It never has been 55 mph and there’s no signs to indicate that it is 55 mph (it’s really 65 mph). Secondly, the Hard Braking detection is very wack. Every time I approach a green light that turns yellow (and I have to hit the brakes), it always dings me for at least three of four Hard Brake incidents. Third, the live speed isn’t always accurate. I live in a place where there’s always an officer camping on the side of the road. I know to never even touch the speed limit… however, it will say I go 50 in a 45 zone. Overall, the app is pretty solid and does a good job with giving you decent information about your driving habits. The flaws of the app really make it difficult to work with or even trust the information is accurate when giving you a driving score. 2 stars seems low, and 3 stars seems high - so I guess I’ll give them the benefit of it all so someone on the marketing team can be “happy.”

The app is easy to use and download. I’ve had it for tens of thousands of miles. No issues.
