Drives not recording

Sometimes a drive is not recorded in spite of the phone present and all functions turned on and still the reason no phone present

Soul l-sucking, joy-killing app

If you want an app that takes all the joy out of driving this is it. Defensive driving? Forget about it - if a child’s ball rolls out into the road ahead don’t brake, or swerve - the app doesn’t like defensive driving. No posted speed limits as in half the Eastern Cape? Well you’d better assume that the speed limit is 40 kmh the whole trip otherwise you’ll end up with zero points and feeling like an idiot. Leave your car idle for a few days? Don’t do it, the nerds who developed this app made the app assume you’ve disabled the sensor. Try to complain through the contact feature on the app? Nope, it will give you a constant “Internal Sever Error” message. DON’T DO IT!

App doesn’t always work

App hasn’t worked since Xmas day and doesn’t send info to Vitality.. I get a notification of the results after my drive, but all point still stay at zero - even my no drive days. A call Centre person said I had to switch phone to airplane mode, then switch phone off, then switch phone on, then switch airplane mode off, then open the app again - and then it should work.. I’m not holding my breath... it seems there are problems with this app and iPhone users..

Inconsistant

This app makes up speed limits and then scores you for speeding. I travel on the R59 daily speed limit is 120. I get a speeding demerit for travelling at 80 in a 60 zone? On three different occasions. Swartkoppies road has speed limit of 80 and again speeding 70 in a 60 zone. Additionally get penalised for harsh acceleration when travelling at 23km p/h Is this an attempt to ensure you dont get top score as it appears to become more of a problem the further you drive

Fantastic

App work great on iPhone, i get 600 back for over 3 years! Fantastic. Love it

5 years ago, my last try at a nickname

5 steps backwards

Latest update still does not address the issue of battery drain with location services being always on! Also, in your drive list, there is no more option to filter only your vehicle. I have to go and search for mine? This app is now more of a nuisance than helpfull.

Are you supposed to drive like a robot?

Completely unrealistic parameters to abide by. Tried this out and drove extremely well, only to be scored badly for a bunch of things that didn’t even happen? If you want people to trust and use this app, there’s ALOT more work to be done. DELETE

Battery drainer

Great to have the app and the concept behind it - BUT - the fact that the app is always using location drains the battery. Why need location when I am not even in my car??

Great app!

Great app and great concept!

Eats battery

By far the biggest consumer of my phone’s battery. I don’t even use my phone and I’m losing major percentages of battery. Even when I’m not driving

Drains battery

The latest version (6) drains iOS battery life. Getting background activity of 30% in iOS.

Latest update doesn't even open

The most recent update killed the app. Won't even open anymore. Before this update it was great

Discovery should do better

This app kills your battery life. Discovery needs to change this app so we can benefit on discovery drive. Massive let down.

Great idea

I love the idea of challenging people to better themselves it's a great way to go about change. There are one or two issues with the app the chief one is battery drain in my view is excessive the second is the accuracy my phone can be on the side board and it thinks it's been on an 8km trip sort those out and I think you have a winner

Inaccurate

Get harsh breaking and corning one star when I know it is untrue. Cellphone usage when I use my GPS

Battery drainer

Expect at least 25% additional battery drain a day. Otherwise a nice app.

Not good at all

App doesn’t work properly!!

Outstanding !

I really think that you have an outstanding idea. and i really love the innovation you provide as a company. Dowlaoded and installed the app yeasterday. Works great but, after starting journey, it doen not immediately pick up the movement for about 3-5 minutes. After ending journey it does not stop for about 3-5 minutes. Also it constantly uses your location even if the app is closed in the background. my phone was fully charged when i installed the app within 2 hour 35% of my battery was gone. Deleted the app and the GPS indicator that was showing next to battery percentage went away and battery made it through the night. Great idea to get people aware of how they drive, you guys just need to finetune the app a bit.

Buggy and inconsistent

There is something seriously wrong with the algorithm used to detect when you're driving. It is inconsistent, and sometimes doesn't even record at all. Sometimes it will start recording when the phone is stationary (like on a desk in the middle of a meeting). The algorithm is buggy at best. You sometimes have to restart your phone completely for it to record again (had it stop recording completely), and even had to reinstall the app once to get it to work again. It also loses trips randomly and when it doesn't have a network connection to upload them. Pretty pointless running a competition and the app for it is dodgy. Very disappointed, Discovery. Surely you can afford qualified developers?

Telematics to the next level

It's amazingly accurate and I've used many of these kinds of apps. I'm competing with coworkers and we are all driving much more safely and aware of what we are doing

Battery killer

This App will kill your phone's battery waiting for a trip by keeping the GPS active. Force kill the app helps. Kill the App to soon will also delete the current trip. Long trips or short makes no difference, problem is you will hate it when one 'mistake' gives the long trip a bad rating. Difficult not impossible scoring well driving a sports car, dead easy driving a big SUV. Just saying. No, gotto go charge my phone again. Silly App not stoping

Nice concept, but...

A very good concept, and it actually makes you think more consciously about your driving. The biggest flaw is however that it seldom works! It is more likely to register a jog or a walk as a drive as an actual trip - should have the option to register a drive manually instead of relying only on the phone's meters. Would also be good if it could actually link up with an existing DQ-tracker. Let's see whether updates will clean the bugs out...

Excellent way to improve driving!

Love this product. Very accurate and provides feedback and incentives to drive safely. Low battery drained. Impact alerts are a good idea and works well

GPS constantly on

Good app but with the gps being constantly on, my battery life has been greatly reduced. The gps should only come on when you can detect I'm in a car. Perhaps when my speed is faster than a certain amount?

GPS constantly on

Useless waste of time app

This app doesn't work. It constantly says "waiting to record drive". When I eventually get home after driving 40 minutes it starts recording trip. I thought the last update resolved this issue but it's worse. If the app is anything to go by I'm sure discovery I insurance is just as pathetic

Data thief

Cool concept and cool app, but it doesn't respect the option to only upload driving data when on a WiFi network. It's been eating through my mobile data bundle instead.

Good idea

Good idea, but it needs some work. Location is constantly on, draining battery life drastically. Look and feel isn't the best either. Inviting friends just doesn't work. UI needs enhancements

Slow uploads

Incorrect speed limits Doesn't record the drive correctly from actual start. Witkoppen rd and Cedar Rd are 80km limits, anything above 60 and the app recognizes this as speeding. Absolute rubbish. If the discovery CEO thinks he can go on carte Blanche and share info on driving behavior he is misleading the nation. It even records driving on roads I didn't enter.

No Support

There is no support for this app. If you click on the App Support button, it takes you to Discovery web site. There you are not able to find any information to assist with this application.

Great idea - buggy app

Very keen to take part in the challenge, but it doesn't record all my drives. And then all of a sudden it starts recording when I'm not driving. And I still don't have a score yet and all my friends do! Please fix!!!

Intrusive Notifications

I am quite aware that my background app refresh has been disabled, I disabled it. You don't need to tell me to check my settings every day, 3 strikes and you're out!

Cool idea, Bad execution

Cool app. Was interesting seeing how it rated my driving. But say goodbye to your battery life! Had to delete the app or my phone wouldn't last until lunch time.

Kills Battery

This app is killing my battery. It has used 60% of the battery over the last 12 hours and that's when I'm asleep! Please fix.

Battery Killer

Since the last update I have had to revoke location access, as the app was killing my battery.

Poor functionality

Doesnt record from start Doesnt stop once stopped Tried to restart as it was continuing to record on foot; it lost the drive

9 years ago, Fastbowler55

Absolute rubbish

Can't add friends, user interface is poor, trips are allocated random data re: braking or accelerating - great idea but very very poor execution. I just completed a 25km trip, 2km was recorded.

Needs improvement

Driving 100 in a 100 zone on the M1 North near Sandton cannot be classified as speeding. What a poorly developed app. Needs major improvement.

9 years ago, Neila2424

Pointless app

This has to be the most pointless and useless app ever! Dose not work! Even with the devise installed in your car! Total ripoff.

9 years ago, Shaunsmith100

Great app BUT

Great app really! Surely it can skip the 160km/h I do on the Gautrain?

Vitality Drive Failure

Since Vitality Drive was launched I have driven with more care and achieved Platinum level. BUT for the last two months the system has been broken and Discovery either can’t or won’t fix it. I achieve the maximum daily points for my Driver Profile but the points are not pulled in to the total and for some inexplicable reason, the total sits on 20/750 fir the entire month. Result - less than half the fuel reimbursement that I am entitled to, and a declining Driver Profile and points every month. However, there is another result- I am now looking for another insurer after 6 years with Discovery Insure. Goodbye to my approx R3900 per month premium Discovery...

Permanent background location

This is a good app and does what it is suppose to very well. BUT IT DESTROYS YOU'RE BATTERY LIFE. So please can you code the next update to only start tracking when the phone Bluetooth connects to the vitalitydrive sensor.....it is utterly pointless for the app to keep on tracking after you stopped driving. PLEASE FIX THIS
