About Drive Alive Lite

Get rewards for not texting while driving! Drive Alive is an app that monitors your application usage while it is running to give you credit for being a safe driver. This is the Lite version of Drive Alive and contains advertisements that appear after a trip has been completed.


Directions:
1. Before driving, open Drive Alive and log in.
2. To make sure you receive credit for all your time spent driving, wait for the app to get a GPS connection.
3. Drive!
4. After coming to a complete stop, press the End Trip button.

After that, the application will verify that you are stopped and send the trip data.


Features:
• If you receive credit for a trip you will become eligible for rewards. (Cash, discounts, and more!)
• Receive some rewards instantly! No building up points! Just one trip could mean money in your PayPal account.
• Easy to use: Simply run the app, drive safely, press End Trip, and profit!
• Drive Alive will NEVER block you from using any of your phone's features.


The following will cause loss of trip credit:
• Driving while the application is ending.
• Answering the phone.
• Opening other applications. (This includes texting!)
• Pressing the 'Home' button while the GPS is connecting or after a trip has started.
• Locking the screen.
• Pressing the 'Home' button or locking the screen after pressing 'Stop Trip' but before letting the app finish sending trip data.
• NOTE: It's possible that some alarms/pop-up notifications will cause a loss of trip credit. You may want to disable these prior to starting a trip if you have trouble.


The following will NOT cause loss of trip credit:
• Receiving a call/text, but not responding.
• Letting the phone screen turn off by going idle. (The screen will not lock automatically while a trip is active.)
• Touching the screen without closing the app or opening a new one.

Remember, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

I've actively used your app for years. Until recently I loved it. I've not been paid since June. I've sent you an email and a Facebook message, but you have failed to respond to either. :(

Attempted to sign up and I got a 404 error "The site you were looking for couldn't be found."

I've been having this app for more than a week and always use it and haven't had any rewards or points

Would be cool but can not create account get a 404 error what's up with that?? Anyone have any idea? Will change review once it's figured out.

Doesn't work. Can't even create an account. Uninstalled then reinstalled. Still doesn't work

R70%
by R####:

I love the idea, but I already have 2 doubts: nowadays almost every app has popups and remembering to manually deactivate ALL of them before a trip can be hard and it's also a lot of work. There should be a shortcut in the app to block popups and I guess it would require accessibility or device manager authorization. Second problem: what if I have to use the navigator? Instead of blocking all apps there should be a feature to allow at least Google maps or waze and detect when you exit the app.

V70%

Keeps saying I recently used the app even if its been hours. Won't let me use it. Garbage.

S70%

I took a drive last night and tried to start it again this morning and it keeps telling me to press the home key and wait two minutes. Restarted my phone and everything. Help.

J70%
by J####:

The app may stop me from touching my phone in HOPES of rewards, but I never get any (I do get credit for trips but never get any prizes.) Do I just have bad luck or does it actually give any out?

I've had it for almost a full week and I have earned $3.00. Love it.

Y70%
by Y####:

Works brilliantly, earnt $2 the first time I used it! Would be nice to have some 'allowed' apps (speedos, nav, music etc) that wouldn't interfere with rewards.

Y70%

Had to uninstall it due to it eating up my battery. I had uninstalled then reinstalled and problem continued

It pays

Works fine but coming out of screen timeout cancels any rewards. Sprint Samsung galaxy s ii.

Works, got some rewards. Tim always responds quickly to emails

This is an amazing app. It keeps me safe and pays me for it. Keep giving and I'll keep driving safe.

This app is a great idea to prevent distracted driving. Haven't had any issues with the app since the last update and I've made $3 for something I would be doing anyways. Make anyone you know that texts or uses their phone get this app! Even if it only stops one distracted driver it's a great idea.

C70%
by C####:

This app really helps me focus on the road since under my companies personnel policy rules cell phone use is prohibited while driving. A huge bonus is the incentive for cash deposited into your PayPal account. Make sure you try everything to correct issues before blaming it on bugs bc my BlackBerry data cord that I used to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone interfered when I went to shut the car off it cancelled it out to my homescreen. Customer service is great just email your issues before posting bad app!

C70%
by C####:

Lots of bugs that decided I didn't get credit even though I never touched it and always came to a complete stop when ending. I've never gotten any money and I've been using it for about a month with 18 safe driving hours and a 96% success rate. I emailed them asking about this and they never replied. Not worth your time!

A70%
by A####:

I really love the idea behind this app. It's a great way to incentivize not using your phone while driving. You can still listen to music through your phone if it's playing in the background which is perfect for me. I've never had an issues with the functionality of the app. The only problem I had was a user error on my part and the creator resolved it for me through e-mail. Definitely try this app out. It's a great way to stay safe on the road and you can earn rewards :)

F70%
by F####:

This app is a great idea to prevent distracted driving. Please fix the bug that says I just completed a trip two minutes ago when it has been hours since my last trip and it will be perfect

C70%
by C####:

I tried to start a new trip 5 minutes after my one and only trip and got a 2 minute error. Tried a few more times since. It has now been over 30 minutes, but I still get the 2 minute error. Please fix.

Y70%
by Y####:

The first time I used the app it worked great. Now every time I open it it tells me I've started a trip within two minutes of my last trip and to exit the app and try again after 2 minutes. I'm using the Droid Ultra.

C70%
by C####:

Saw on reddit. Screen is supposed to dim and did not. After a 40 min trip, my credit was false for the reason that my car was supposedly still moving even after I waited 2 minute for the ad to load. I got up to go into my house and that's when it triggered. Very poor implementation. Should it get better, I'll reconsider my stars.

W70%
by W####:

I had to uninstall and reinstall for it to work, seems to work flawlessly now. Haven't seen that I'm making money yet, but it feels good knowing I'm driving safe and getting confirmation. :-)

D70%
by D####:

Twice I've finished a trip and 20 minutes later it was still "sending data" and I had to fc. Not worth that kind of time.

S70%
by S####:

I haven't really gotten paid for any trips. I can't help when people call me. It says application went to backround everytime someone texts me or calls me. Would give 5 stars if it was fixed!

S70%
by S####:

Had a problem with app but got prompt response and now it works better than ever!!!

S70%
by S####:

Great idea. Was suspicious at first, as everyone else probably was to, but you really do get paid to drive smart and not stupid. Excellent app. Thank You

S70%
by S####:

Everyone needs to use this. Put down the phone and DRIVE the car!!

K70%
by K####:

Gonna give a 4 star on the fact they contacted me to ensure correct use. Gonna give a 5 when I pull my next trip and see it work.

U70%
by U####:

After leaving previous review of not sure what I was doing wrong, Tim from the program responded to me right away and fixed my questions.
