Flo - Driving Insights for Android
I liked the idea of Flo, but sadly the reality of using it didn't live up to my expectations. The only way of getting a good driving score seems to be to drive as if your car will explode if you give it too much gas. It thinks anything other than a 0-60mph of more than a minute is harsh acceleration. Corner detection is iffy at best, it will regularly think you are taking a fast corner while cruising on a straight road, and will think two consecutive corners taken at the same speed are good and then fast.
Such a shame. Looks very good and great idea but point scoring is ridiculous. I managed to get to work this morning very early with little traffic and no drama and managed to score 0! Can someone explain?
Seems like a really good concept but could you add profiles for lorries, even just a generic one? Lowered to 2 stars as it would keep giving me feedback on hard brake or hard acceleration when actually my speed never changed at all, also waaay too sensitive saying it's a hard acceleration/brake when it was super smooth..
Can be fussy at times and a bit inconsistent. But I do like it. Does consume a lot of power.
Still didn't have any vehicles I drive plus won't allow me to login via Google. Nice. Keep up the good work!
Has really helped me smooth out my driving style and made me more economical.
Please fix it
My wife hated it I love it!
Nice app for monitoring your driving habits
Classs
It does what it's supposed to do but it's lackluster. The feedback is minimal (for example, it'll say so-so acceleration or turn without telling you what was wrong with it) and it doesn't actually tell you how you're supposed to be doing it. It works, and that's why it made it to two, but it's not actually of any help.
Doesn't work well in hilly Seattle. Docked for hard acceleration up hills and hard breaking going down hills. When going through tunnels, docked for hard corners.
Hard braking, hard acceleration, etc when I'm really driving extremely conservatively.
After a tunnel it gets confused and gives penalties for hard braking or fast turning.
Very useful
It's pretty cool I have a lot of fun reviewing my trips
Pretty Nifty App !!
Too sensitive
Great app.
The app is too sensitive, it says hard brake for a very very easy braking. I sent this feedback to the developers more than a week ago but they haven't answered so far!
GPS isn't accurate and consistent enough to use for this app. Lost lots of points for cornering and breaking on straight-aways when none of that happened.
Harsh, painful, takes no account of road conditions, traffic. Literally like spending your journey with a know it all.
Used only for a day. Still I am learning and could not activare the voice
Fuel efficiency calculations must be included in application. Fuel filling, cost, maintenance cost , trip cost calculations must be there then this application become 5 star application.
Excellent app
Great
Why is my goal set at 75? What am I trying to achieve? I do the same journey every day yet my scores are so different.
But if this app provides suggestions over driving. Then it would be more of a help to improve driving skills
I am happy for this app
Thought it was good at 1st, bought premium. Premium has absolutely no upgrades or anything new total waste of money, app only give you a score. Extremely useless app, does not tell you how to improve, no tips, nothing, totally worthless, I wish they had a no stars rating, do not get this app
There is no way of reseting passwords Oh I could use Google+ to log in....but after 2 days of trying and being told it's failed then being told to try again later, I emailed the developer, no acknowledgement or reply so after another day I gave up and uninstalled.
It has stopped working, just records trips in bits, with random locations (including the middle of a park), with no marks or anything.
The car list is well out of date this needs sorting for a start
Have to always remember to open the App and also the GPs. Need lot of update
Very slow and kills battery
It would be great if I was allowed to drive!
should have fuel mileage monitoring.
Tracked the ride through GPS to perfection. The app says I accelerated 0 times through my ride and braked 0 times through my ride. How am I able to get from one place to the other without either accelerating or breaking. Car not found in the list. I go to the section that says Add car, I add car and go to the next step which goes back to the list to find cars. Deadlock ! The intention of this app is great, but very poor execution, lot of updates needed.
Its pretty cool. Try it for yourself and see.
