Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
This app seemed accurate enough and worked as it should. I can understand what people mean by context not being taken in to account but if you're not braking hard frequently then you should be fine. It seems to be very fair to me.
So far it has rejected 17 journeys and only accepted 2. It's a bit rubbish.
It does not work on my HTC M9 – It was fine when I had a Sony Xperia, but on the HTC it indicates that it should be “Recording” but is either not tracking the car or is not storing the data. It’s a shame, because the App not working may be costing me a lot of money as I cannot claim a discount.
Worked well on my tablet. Like my satnav could not seperate motorways from dual carriageway A roads.
Does work if you actually know how to work it, you have a decent phone and arnt stupid
inacurate, drops mileage and as a result cannot define your location for accurate speed assessment in speed control zones. Total junk.....
Will not record all journeys. It can"t tell the differance between 30 & 40 mph speed limits.
Good concept but app still needs loads of work. It records every journey i make but leaves at least 60% of the unrecorded, for example i did 10 miles and it showed i only did 4 miles. I first thoughrnit may be down to the phone's gps however loads of people with different phone models complains of same problem.
Rubbish, recorded 4 journeys of about 40 miles but only registered 1 mile. Uninstalled
Working well but some journeys won't record, and 2 were discounted as the app 'thinks I was on a train', despite there being no railway nearby...maybe my driving was too smooth and straight for a car!
Constantly being told journey not recorded due to poor gps reception make sure phone has a clear view of the sky despite phone being put on dashboard for all journeys only records 50% of journeys

Inconsistent... tells me I'm exceeding the speed limit if I use the motorway for part of the route (even when I travel @60mph), and thinks I'm doing well when I'm stuck in traffic doing less than 5mph for 2 miles. Recorded 2 trips OK this am and then only recorded 153 feet of my third trip...
