Decent application with great rewards. I do wonder if they ever reset so you can keep earning. Not great about timing of events, occasionally thinking I braked an impossible amount or used the phone when I pulled over first. Generally speaking, the app has gamified safe driving for me and I'm driving better for it, except the occasional reluctance to brake hard when someone does something silly in front of me.
Thank you for your review, Victor! We are exploring new reward opportunities for drivers, but currently they do not reset. We'd be happy to review your trips with you to address some of your feedback and provide guidance on the way the app registers hard braking. If you're interested, please feel free to email us at streetsmartsupport@amica.com!

Overall, it is a nice app, better than my expectations. But there are flaws with the hard braking and speeding. It takes both as wrong at times, i dont know how speeding is calculated, as I have noticed that it's wrongly showing as speeding, although one would have driven perfectly fine.

Hi, Ikramullah! The app registers force felt by the phone when slowing down. To help avoid hard braking penalties, make sure the phone is secured so the app can properly measure braking. Speeding is recorded when moving 9 mph or more over the speed limit. If you'd like us to review trips for you, email us at streetsmartsupport@amica.com! Thank you.

Works fine for measuring speed and phone handling, but its detection of "hard braking" is seriously flawed. It considers any rapid deceleration as hard braking, and penalizes you for it. While the app acknowledges that sometimes hard braking is necessary, it claims that it wants you to get used to driving on slippery roads. It is unrealistic and indeed ridiculous to expect people to drive on dry pavement in summer the same way they would drive on an icy road in winter.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback about hard braking detection. We understand that not all hard braking is bad. The app is designed to detect all the hard braking events in order to know whether it is occurring frequently or rarely. One time or infrequent events do not have a major impact on your overall score. Thank you again.
