Octo U: Your driving companion for Android
it wo't let me register on my huawei mate 10 pro.. bug bug!
So far it has rejected every trip I've made. It's got 2 more days and if it doesn't work, it's deleted. Update now saying no wifi when a) there is and b) I have 4g. Deleted. Waste of time
"No Internet connection" when it's available (4g, WiFi anything really). Was curious to try, disappointed.
This used to work until recently. When it worked I found it useful. Within last month this message about no Internet connection has appeared.
I'm not interested enough in spending a great deal of time trying to figure out why this does not work. Apps just need to work out of the box. Otherwise you'll just pile up the negative reviews. Most users have no reason to spend their time user testing apps.
I tried it today and have now uninstalled it. I did a few trips today in my van and driving steadily managed a few good scores. I got knocked back for acceleration!! Really!!! I was accelerating on to an A road and needed to speed up a bit, but flat out it only does 0-60 in around 30secs and I was driving like a granny. I was knocked back for speeding in a 60 limit and I know I didn't go over 50. Took the bike out tonight and earned a cornering badge, Whoopee! Then got penalised for cornering.
Why would anyone want this?
Great app
So I let you track my driving and then you pass may data to the insurance sector despite saying it's private and then my premium goes through the roof! I don't think so.
Been testing this today, most driving I do is on the motorway, where the speed limit is 70mph, I'm driving a van that's limited to 68mph, yet it says I've been speeding several times, also intense cornering, on a straight motorway? Accuracy on the IPhone version is even worse! I've just ran the app on both phones at the same time and got completely different results.
Intense acceleration going onto a motorway ???? Just drove keeping to the speed limit all the time and it said 1 intense and one extreme speeding. What's that about ? Deletion is getting close.
not equipped for motorcycles
Ok a couple of personal niggles guys. You launched this at British MotoGP yet when i pick Triumph as my vehicle i can have a Triumph Herald but not a Triumph Daytona bike. Secondly shouldn't there be a destination between a bike rider and car especially when it comes to cornering? Finally some overview would be good to say what you should be aiming for etc. Othere than those minor points its really good.
I'm not even sure what this does. What does the score even mean? And so many problems.. One of the tips tells me that slow speed increases fuel usage! Haha!!
Easy to use. Great job!
I tried this app for a few weeks but too many issues, although it is well presented. Basically you drive slowly to get a higher score. I personally think there's a lot more to being a good driver than that. The app occasionally started automatically and if it did it would stop again at the traffic lights 100 yards onto the journey and fail to restart for the rest of the journey. The ratings against any recorded events are a bit meaningless.
couldn't find how to disable if i wasn't driving, sucked battery life when i couldn't disable, otherwise its nice
Before even using it, my phone warned me it was draining 4 percent per hour in the background. I can barely make it through a day as it is on one charge, so, uninstalled it was.
Great app, it changed my life. Love it!
Not working waste of time!
Best
And its very good
Totally useless
I couldn't get this to work at all on my Nexus 7. Perhaps, despite the FAQ, it needs a data connection instead of just GPS at the time of driving? I'm afraid it seems useless to me.
