Teen Safe Driver℠

American Family Insurance

About this app

American Family is here to help you protect loved ones, including your teen.

That’s why we’re offering you Teen Safe Driver℠, a program that helps your teen become a safer, smarter driver — all via a fun smartphone app that cleverly improves driving habits. It’s smart tech that gives parents like you peace of mind. The app tells you the details on exactly how they drove including phone use, texting, aggressive driving, speeding and more.

The app scores each trip, so your teen can learn where they need improvement. They’ll also have fun challenging themselves to achieve higher scores while becoming a safer driver!

Driving trips are graded on a 100 point scale (100 being the top score) and monitor driving behaviors such as distracted driving, aggressive driving and high speeds. The better the driving behavior, the better the score.

With the app, you can engage the whole family in promoting safer driving habits. You’ll be able to track your teen’s progress and their whereabouts while they’re driving. You can even “compete” with your teen to see who can get higher app scores. It’s smart, safe fun that builds good driving habits.

Please note that use of the Teen Safe Driver℠ application is restricted to invited American Family Insurance customers.

Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and reviews

This app sucks. I just looked at it and it said my daughter was across town at school when she was with me at my office. I looked further into it and the location it showed was timestamped 1/17/23. From more than a week ago!!! I think if you are an app trying to track driving data it would do so in a timely fashion! I hate that we even have to use it. There has to be better technology out there American Family Insurance could use to track out teens driving. Just sayin'.

This app does not have a comprehensive compatibility list published. Android 4.3 is the only requirement listed and that is not really the only factor. There are also specific sensors that are required for the program to work. If your phone does not have ALL of the required sensors, the app store and the app will show as incompatible. Some of the required major sensors are GPS, an Accelerometer and a Gyroscope. If any are missing, like the Gyroscope on my kids E4 then it is incompatible... but now where does it say this. I got all that from support after the fact. .

it crashes when i try to open my family, doesn't track my location or driving. my parents, who have iphones, have no issue with the application, meaning it isn't even properly optimized for android. fix your app. you shouldnt be basing your discounting on a program that hasn't been updated in three years, nonetheless a non functional app. would highly recommend not installing the app despite if they pester you for it.
