Mobilio

I’m in love with the idea of rewarding crypto for safe driving, especially here in the US where traffic deaths are at record highs due to increased distracted driving and other factors. I also like the simplicity of the app. One of the biggest advantages over similar apps is that you don’t have to constantly log in to earn rewards. You can just sign up and kind of forget that it’s there. The main risk is the obvious: they sell your data to marketers and insurance companies. Personally I’m fine with that because other apps do the same. At least this app pays you for your data.

This app was great for my long drive this weekend, I earned a lot of points on the way there. But when I left it didn’t record any of my trip as well as all the trips I’ve taken today. My phone is locked sitting in the passenger seat and I have no recorded trips since yesterday at 7:30pm. I’m a driver for my job and drive all day and none of those points were recorded nor the trips. Kinda mad because I lost out on a 2 hour trip of not using my phone and have no way to contact customer support to report my missing trips and points.

I haven’t had the chance to use it but I was wondering if I have apple car play and use my phone via the Apple car play to play music, audiobooks, have Siri respond text or call. If this will register as using my phone while driving? Also if I pull over to make a call or because I need to text. Does it solely require your body movement to detect this? Or would this cause problems and lose points?
