About SmartDriver

TOWER SmartDriver is a free smartphone app that is designed to reward good drivers. By using the app, and proving you’re a safe and careful driver, you could save up to 20% on your motor premium with TOWER.

SmartDriver will also help you improve your driving by giving you tips along the way.

How it works

SmartDriver collects basic driving information through the numerous sensors within your smartphone, including the accelerometer and the GPS. Information collected – which includes distance, location, braking and acceleration – is then used to determine your driving behaviour. The app will even give you driving feedback!

Once you’ve completed 150 kilometres (over multiple trips of less than 75 kilometres each) you’ll receive a SmartDriver score between 0 and 10 (10 being the highest). The app will also show you how you compare to other drivers on the road. Depending on your SmartDriver score you could earn savings on your premium.
With SmartDriver, you can even challenge friends and family on our head to head and group leaderboards. Challenge your neighbour to a daily duel to see who drives smarter over 24 hours, or set up a workplace leaderboard to see how you compare against your workmates, and maybe claim bragging rights.

Please note that this app is for use in New Zealand only.

Note: Battery usage - GPS often requires more battery power. If you’re planning a long journey, make sure you have a full battery before you start, and consider using an in-car charger.

This latest version keeps losing the signal even though I'm driving in inner city Wellington!!

Mostly worked initially on my S4, but then wouldn't give me a new score. Now on my S7 it won't let me change settings or even give a score for any of my trips. I managed to get a 6.5 then a 7.0 but lost all my best scores as it never gave a new total. Now even if I log out it logs back in. Uninstall until fixed!

Rip offf! doesn't work at all in my S6. started the app when i started to work. it stops itself and starts a new ride. I suppose even the developers doesnt know how this app work. Total rip off by tower!

Don't waste your time if you purchased your policy online - I achieved the discount, rang up, and was told I didn't get any discount because I had an online policy. My policy is one of the eligible policies listed, and there is nothing anywhere I can see that refers to online policies being excluded.

I swapped phones and I can't toggle wifi only on. I keep getting 'failed to update settings'. It is chewing up gigs of data. I got the first discount but it’s costing me more than I can save. Going to uninstall.

Can't even put my birthday in. Sept 30 with the year. Won't let me go any further or accept it. By the reviews this app is appusulute rubbish. So if the app can't even do less than a 2 km test this app can't be very accurate. Wouldn't waste my time with it. I was just curious. But hey even with this that are still 100 times better than the false advertising youi. Definitely don't waste your time with them. It will cost you MORE.

The phone's sensors don't know why we sped up, or slowed down, suddenly. The app needs a camera so that videos can be submitted along with the sensor reports. The s.r's alone don't prove anything. This app has potential. I think, anyway.

Won't update so I can't change the settings and it does not upload trips keeps saying try again later tried reinstalling still the same

Used to work on my s4 mini upgraded to s7 and now fails to upload trips. And I can't even change settings.

So just got back from our weekend in Taupo. I thought going from Wellington to Taupo would be a great opportunity to get my 150kms done and see what score I get. In the 800km approx round trip the app managed to clock all of 25 kms. What's the point. Also the app is kinda hard to use around welly due to the tunnels. Could take me a few yrs to get my kms completed at this rate.

Tried to use it and doesn't work. GPS on, set to automatically log trips. What else do I need to do? Uninstalled and reinstalled in case there was an issue with the install and now won't let me log in or reset the password. 18/9/15 Now letting me reset password but not receiving reset email.

App seems to close its self allot of the time, but I take that as being an android problem! But trips are also not getting logged, even though I see it has been started and finished it just doesent come into the list of trips... EVER! Is quiet frustrating. Only other thing is when your stuck in traffic and it auto stops, this is a nuisance because a new trip can't start within 3 minutes.. But would be good of time was extended especially during peak times when sometimes I'm stuck in ques for over 20min

Desperately trying to get my 150km completed but can't because after almost every trip I get a dialog telling me my connection was lost and that my results will be uploaded soon. The results disappear completely and are never uploaded all in spite of the fact that I have a working 4G connection. This happened a bunch of times on auto mode and again on manual. I'm currently about 40-50km short of where I should be. Incredibly incredibly frustrating app.

H70%

I don't get it! It's supposed to auto start. Runs for approx. 3mins and then just stops. Total waste of time.

Could not even register with the app. Tried 5 times, crashed each time. Maybe fix this before advertising it on the radio?

M70%
by M####:

I have driven over 3 days always further than 2 km but every time I get a score of 0 as it says I haven't driven 2 km. The app shows the km as I am driving

N70%
by N####:

Thought this would be a cool app. Very disappointed. It doesn't log half my trips and gets the my speed soooo wrong. I will be uninstalling this app.

Crashed trying to register with Facebook. Could not enter birth date when trying to register an account. Come on - make this easier to register for

Z70%

Crashes before you can even register. Have had extremely poor experiences with tower in the past and less than impressed with the app which is being advertised daily yet obviously many people are having this issue

Z70%

Can't even register to use it! I'm not a Tower customer, but was curious to try the app. After 3 attempts to register via email, I give up. What a waste of time....and I won't be switching to Tower anytime soon!

Logged in with Facebook, but the app immediately crashes. Sent report to Tower, but not holding my breath about it getting fixed judging by other reviews on here.

Z70%
by Z####:

Keep crashing when trying to register with Facebook. It also have to be in the foreground all the time; So if you got something urgent to do, the app will wrongfully calculate your stats; or if you're using phone as your navigation, then though luck. If you got stuck in traffic, or long traffic light, the app will suddenly assume that you've stop your trip, and you can only start 3 minutes later. So typical of Tower: clunky, not thoroughly designed & badly developed.

Once I figured out how to work it. Partly my fault and partly the instructions. I now love it and strongly recommend it. Now I need to get my wife to use it.

Can't even register not that you should have to unless your tracking people and there movements

H70%

Crashes when I try to register an account. All the ads won't make a jewel from a lemon. Doesn't look good for Tower

How am I supposed to attempt to save on premiums if the app doesn't work properly.. had such high hopes for this app. Doesnt work unless its being held and I dont always have passengers.

If I can't register it's no use to me. Get your systems working Tower.
