Continually increases rates with no explanation. Finally got to the point where literally any other insurance company was cheaper, so I dropped them. They also make you enable a driving score tracker but don't allow you to see what your score is. You also get an alert that it's tracking you even when walking around your house, which probably leads to a worse score. Further, they have no built in option to say "hey I'm not the one driving".

It will consider you to be using your phone if the screen is on at all, so avoid using GPS or anything else during a trip. It requires full permissions and completely unrestricted resource use. It says it can tell if you are driving or a passenger or doing some other activity, but don't trust it. It will negatively impact your score. I ended the "test-drive period" with a score of 9/10 (I had to use maps once), and my rate actually went up by a couple dollars!!!

very happy to drop their insurance tomorrow and leave a 1 star review. they tried to charge an old, expired card (despite me using an up to date card for years) and then charged me a renewal fee when the expired card declined. emailed along for a refund and they said they "couldn't give one". haven't been in an accident with them over the course of nearly 10 years, yet my rates have only every gone up. switching providers and saving over 70% would not recommend to my worst enemy
