DriveScore Reviews 2,263

Very easy to use and helpful

I have been using DriveScore for nearly a month and have completed around 750 tracked miles. Unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing due to inconsistencies in how the app evaluates driving behaviour.

On multiple occasions, I have been flagged for “harsh acceleration” despite the data suggesting otherwise. For example:

Increasing speed from 3–13 mph in 4.0 seconds (~1.1 m/s² or 0.11 G)
5–12 mph in 2.1 seconds (~1.5 m/s² or 0.15 G)
6–15 mph in 2.1 seconds (~1.9 m/s² or 0.19 G)

These values are well within normal and safe driving limits, yet they were still penalised. In one instance, acceleration was flagged without any supporting data at all.

The app also fails to account for real-world conditions such as road gradient. On a downhill stretch near a roundabout on my daily commute, the car can naturally reach 15 mph within a couple of seconds even with minimal throttle input. This is repeatedly flagged as aggressive driving, which is clearly unrealistic.

When I raised this concern, the response I received was generic and did not address the core issue. While the app claims to monitor “patterns” using accelerometer, GPS, and gyroscope data, it provides no transparency on:

What thresholds define “harsh” acceleration, braking, or cornering
Where exactly cornering faults occur (these are not even shown)
How environmental factors are considered (if at all)

What makes this more frustrating is that speed is the only parameter drivers can easily monitor and control. Acceleration, braking, and cornering scores are effectively opaque, leaving users penalised without actionable feedback.

Despite no clear faults being shown, my score currently sits around 660/1000 for cornering. This raises concerns about how fair and accurate the scoring system really is.

Overall, the concept is good, but the execution lacks transparency and realism. Until the scoring system becomes clearer and better aligned with real-world driving conditions, it’s difficult to trust the results.

No stress reliable measures, diferent then black box insurance apps

Keeps a good view for your self to judge your own driving

Think it is a good form of information to have a hand and if it helps me get cheeper insurance aswell

Well im hoping to get cheaper insurance, I've got a pro driver score so hopefully I will do. But we will see & il review with update when its due for renewal next month.

Very Good app. I really appreciate

All good, easy to use. One thing, please add number of events on main screen for trips, meaning when you looking for the trips list, the number of events shovn on main screen, so you dont need to press on details of each trip to see events. Thanks

Excellent. The user experience has been great.

Absolutely fantastic app for safe drivers, many thanks

Downloaded by accident just becuae of the fuel price increases and the feature to fine the cheapest local prices. And now im potentially being rewarded with cheaper insurance just for driving the way I always do and reviewing a high score.

I love this app! Great feedback and useful tips from the app.

Set up so it tracks each journey and provides this service. Feedback includes things like speed; attentions paid; distance; phone usage; braking feedback…it’s just SO GREAT!

Love looking at feedback available to view after each trip is very useful and easy accessed.

Brilliant service! Thank you!

Quotes are ridiculous! Wasre of time

Cant rate about insurance quotes as not due yet. Petrol stations is rubish, only a couple shown in my area, guess their only paid advertisers, many others on other sites and they show all their prices from cheapest to dearest within 15 miles. I go to an Esso and Shell garages which are usually 10 - 12pence cheaper than the competition and always have several waiting on every pump. I dont use suppermarket fual, which are only same price as branded stations nearby. I get better performance and about 10% more milage with branded diesel as well. I've been drving 63 years and my lowest score so far is 984 and drive at average speeds and still feel a competent driver and luckily dont need glasses.

As I have a disability car I did stop using , only thing with it going by a school at 20 mile when its closed flags up .

It rates drivers on driving correctly .safely .and with due care and attention

Downloaded this about 4 week ago. Find it to be very glitchy. Has stopped working on numerous occasions. Will give it one more week then getting rid of it
