The Steer Clear® app is part of a comprehensive program that helps young drivers reinforce positive driving behavior. Young drivers, under age 25, who complete the Steer Clear® Safe Driver Program, may be eligible for an adjustment to the premium on their State Farm® auto insurance. The Steer Clear mobile application tracks a driver's progress through pre-set learning modules of updated content including topics such as Bluetooth, distracted driving (texting/games), and special driving situations. Drivers will no longer need to manually record their trips if the program is conducted through this app. Throughout their trips, drivers will be scored and given feedback on their braking, acceleration, and cornering. Once a driver completes the program, they will receive a program completion certificate that they can text, email, or bring into the agent's office. Badges have been added to Steer Clear to recognize and reward a variety of specific driving accomplishments. The badges will help align users to shared goals of the app, such as scoring a certain percentage on a specific driving behavior, while acting as virtual, motivational status symbols.

Steer Clear® App Comments & Reviews

Steer Clear® Positive Reviews

Good practical informationThe driving portion of this app is sensitive. I can imagine it is difficult to make a perfect driving companion app without an external device. Thankfully it is not counted towards your discount, and is just for your reference so it doesn’t irritate me much. I really do like the modules. They’re very quick and give practical information that you tend to only pick up yourself after driving for a year or so. I really hate that they have such good material but the quiz portion is lacking. Sometimes the topics of questions aren’t brought up in the video at all. Also silly things, like testing on terminology like “head check”. Call it a “head check” or a “shoulder check” doesn’t matter, just do it. I liked the upbeat music, and I thought it was amusing how the voiceover says “periphefial”. Can’t complain. Really solid app, material, and graphics. You guys have better UX than most company apps so cheers! (or not, drive safe).Version: 1.8.0

I want to love it, but it falls short in areasI like how the app keeps a map of the trips and comments on the three top issues with driving, however, the badges don’t match up. Did over 3 trips in a week and badge is not showing up. The scoring is off as well. I was driving with my child on two different occasions and both times have a lower score based on acceleration. Both time my child was not accelerating. Sometimes it’s a little too sensitive. My child had it on but the vehicle was making a sound and asked me to check on it. I asked my child to move steering wheel back and forth and hit the gas a bit. Apparently this threw my child into a lower grade for that trip since he had it on while we were checking out the car. The app also says I can leave feedback for my child which is not the case. My mentor page also does not break down the scores or show a map. It’s an ok app and I like how it does give my child something to use as feedback. I also like that we can use it as a discussion point as well..Version: 2.1.1

Unnecessary time limitAt first when driving my mom had just started longer trips and soon realized that the time spent v.s the tracker were COMPLETELY different. Later we found out this is due to a limit the app sets for 30 minutes... so I was only getting a 4th of the time I had driven. Also be aware that you must keep your phone in a stable place otherwise it won’t score your driving. Overall the set up of the app is practical and easy to manage, just extremely touchy. On certain drives where I feel like I’ve done better than previous trips I will often have a much lower percentage, so I personally didn’t think it reflected how well I drive all too accurately but that could also just be me. Majority of my complaints aren’t anything too bad but extremely aggravating I would still recommend it to other people but I would’ve preferred a somewhat repetitive notice reminding drivers..Version: 1.2.7

Only worth it for the discountAs a parent, I wish this app was better. Here is what you need to know. 1. It will only count and track the first 30 minutes of a drive. 2. Do not start driving until you actually see the time start to count, otherwise you will get to your destination and find it did not start and therefore did not track or count that drive at all. 3. Parents have no information on their app, only scores. You cannot see the errors or the route. It’s basically useless .4. Where the phone is kept during the drive matters. Make sure it is where it will not slide around and make sure you calibrate the phone in that spot. Otherwise you will receive 116 sharp turn violations on a straight road (seriously!!). So, if State Farm wants you to complete the course for a discount, do it. Just know it may not provide helpful information about your driver’s behaviors..Version: 2.1.0

Whatever, it gives you a discount regardless.The modules are short; I finished them in less than an hour. The transcripts of the videos are mostly accurate, though one was blank entirely and there are a handful of errors that make sentences not fully understandable. The driving is... frustrating, at the very least. I recognize that as a Jersey driver, I’m not the gentlest, but there are just some roads that have sharp corners, and the speed limit is 45, and I’m not going to go 20 mph and potentially cause an accident just because I don’t want this app to ding me for “sharp corners.” Depending on the roads, I can tell when my score will be higher or lower, because highway stop lights and turns on some roads are not this app’s friend. But apparently the scores don’t really matter for the discount regardless, so I’m learning to care less (even though I secretly want to unlock all those badges)..Version: 1.0.8

EhYou need to stabilize it so it’s not bouncing around in a spot while you drive. My son was registering hard brakes and swerving while driving on a straight road. Once we realized the phone was moving while we were going 25 mph, his score went from 55 to 90. It tells me his score but doesn’t tell me why he scored like that. Should tell me what he needs to work on otherwise it’s useless to me to know he got a 90 or a 65. Only registers 30 minutes of driving at a time and even then it doesn’t always record the trip. He’s had 4 trips that didn’t record anything. Not impressed. Not sure how this is supposed to make him a better driver when it’s not actually recording an accurate trip score..Version: 2.1.1

App accuracyWe had this app on my phone and on my passengers phone a app by State Farm. The other showed 100% on all the same categories while this one showed 90-95%. I have yet to get a 100% on this app. Maybe it’s just not possible, or there is something wrong with my phone or app. Give it a try. Maybe it will work for you. The lessons are great. The videos very informative also. I would have given it 5 stars, except the discrepancy in the grading..Version: 1.2.8

Read this BEFORE you start the appWe learned the hard way That this app does not share it with other devices. We had started the classroom modules on my iPad and then I started the driving on my phone. We learned that none of the work on the iPad would transfer to the phone. You will have The same problem if you set up one device for the car ride and a separate device for the tests. That was very frustrating and time-consuming. The app itself is picky. If your phone is not completely stationary in the car it will not pick up the drive. My phone was sitting in a phone carrier and still have this problem. On the plus side, it is nice to get a grade on each drive and know what needed a little adjustment..Version: 1.1.1

Kinda FrustratingMy dad taught me how to drive and he’s a truck driver and has been driving his entire life. I am an extremely good driver. (Not to sound like I’m bragging but it’s true 🤷‍♀️). I’m getting this discount because I’m under 25- and I’ve been driving for 4+ years. So I know how to drive well and safely. The app in theory is good but the execution is really frustrating. I consistently am getting 91 and 92 on the timed trips and have had no “incidents” I physically don’t know how to get a perfectionist badge- aka a 100%… my highest score (which was a 93) I was slowing and accelerating so slowly I felt like I was gonna be a danger on the road. The modules were… kinda helpful if you are terrified or brand new to driving, but I hope the timed trips scoring can be changed to a more correct system. It’s not accurate to how I know I drive and it’s frustrating :/ I wish it would explain why it’s only giving me a certain score. There’s no explanation to why it’s lower then I know it should be. There’s no “incidents” so why is it like this? *screams in confusion and anger*.Version: 2.0.0

Amazing app but rating your driving needs some updatesBeen using the app non stop lately. Works perfectly and teaches allot to new drivers. Just dont take its driver rating to heart because its only as accurate as ur phone and gps signal. Personally had a dmv driver in my car for a scoring to see how this app compares. I drove perfectly with the instructor giving me a 100 but the app only gave it a 90 :/, if you hit any form of traffic it also throws off the rating from what i could tell. So if u want the perfectionist medal dont attempt to get it anytime during traffic hours. Its still a perfect app that i would recommend to anyone..Version: 1.2.7

Good but sensitiveIt’s pretty accurate most of them time but I had a trip where it recorded over 275 events including 75 separate hard braking events just pulling into my drive way. It’s got a weird system for counting events because it could lower your score by a lot if the app reads something wrong. I had a good drive and it had a score of 50 because it counted what should have been one moment of rapid acceleration as 4. Definitely need to work on the sensitivity of the app and how it counts events as separate events..Version: 2.3.0

Over-critical appI find that the app is over-sensitive: I have power boost in my car, which helps in city traffic because you need to take off when the light turns green, or risk getting hit from behind or the driver behind honking on the horn. It also helps when getting into traffic, but every time I use it, my score goes down. I have been working on my complete stops and going in a circle, but it gets me every time, & it is depressing. I am trying to be a better driver, but it’s always something. Meanwhile, drivers fly past me on both lines, which is downright scary..Version: 1.4.3

Not accurateI only gave it 3 stars because the modules were easy to use. Besides that it’s not accurate it uses your phone to see how you’re driving. So if I put my phone in the cup holder it moves so I scored very badly but if I sit on my phone so it doesn’t move at all I score high. It as doesn’t take into account any real life issues. For example if a car pulls out in front of me of course I had to hit my brakes hard, would you rather me hit the car?? It tracks your speed which is a good thing but everything else is not accurate in my opinion..Version: 1.5.3

Not all makes common senseTo say that 5sec of texting is equal to length of 1 football field but then say that for every 10 mph you should have 1 second distance ( thus 50 mph is 5 sec… and if 5 seconds is 1 football field in length… then there would be 1 football field in length between EACH car going 50 mph!! That’s just not accurate both in reality and in your videos of how close the cars are to each other. There are more unrealistic scenarios but I don’t care to mention them all..Version: 2.3.0

Percentage score given for drivingAs the mentor of a student driver, I do not Think that your overall percentage scores and even your individual scores for particular skills is accurate. I am very particular in the way that my son drives, been a very safe driver myself, I think an app on a phone cannotSee what a driver has to deal with. As such, sometimes when they have to accelerate faster than your app thinks they should or taking a curve has had to avoid something they get scored lower..Version: 1.1.6

Module brokenEvery time I try to get to module 4 lesson 2 it doesn’t let me see any progress, instead lesson 1 says I have a %140 on it and the module itself says I have no progress. Why is this happening? I emailed the help line and they said to log in and out of it, I have done that, updated my device, deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times, and none of it is working..Version: 1.5.4

Alright, but targeted towards teensThe app itself is alright, modules are very easy if you’ve been driving for any period of time, and as others have said, the driving ratings are extremely sensitive. My main issue, as a “risky” 24 year old driver using the app to get a discount, is how targeted the language is towards teens and extremely new drivers. When you’ve been driving for 7 years, it does get kind of annoying to have an app talk down to you, or chide you for braking too hard (I guess it would rather have me rear end someone).Version: 1.4.0

Accuracy debatableMy daughter had to use this app to get an additional discount from State Farm. Often it would not rate her drive because it said that the phone was moving too much. She tried putting the phone is different places and different positions, but still would get the error reading. Also, because of our car’s engine, I don't feel the acceleration portion of the app gives a clear picture of how her acceleration. And I don’t understand why that’s important anyway. I give it 3 stars only because it made her more aware of her cornering and breaking..Version: 1.0.9

Pretty goodI thought it would be really boring to do the modules, but it had some really useful information like who has the right of way at parking lots, what to do after a crash, etc. The music, visuals, and narrator were pleasant to watch and listen to as well. My only complaint is that the road part can be a little bit better since I feel like it takes off points for very small things, like acceleration on a ramp..Version: 1.5.4

Critique on app featuresThis app is limited in allowing the adult driver to explain why some measurable reactions need to be explained. Case in point when the app sensed an abrupt sudden stop. The reason for the stop is due to a driver running a stop sign. Luckily Alejandro was able to avoid the impact. I’m certainly glad at least I have this review venue to provide these details. In my opinion there should be a place after each driving session for comments..Version: 1.4.1

Not bad, but needs improvementNot a bad app at all, easy and user friendly. The modules are crazy easy, and the app is incredibly easy to navigate. However, the driving factor needs improvement. It senses potholes as braking or acceleration, and when you live somewhere with a lot of them, that can be an issue. Or if you accidentally leave the app running when you get out of your car, it does the same thing, dropping your score. It would be nice if it could sense these things..Version: 1.1.1

Missed tripsI can’t tell you how many times we’ve opened the app, clicked on a new trip, let it calibrate, and watch the time begin only to find out in the end the trip wasn’t counted…. Extremely frustrating. Email to customer service only gets a response of reiterating the instructions. When it does work it seems to be a good asset to gauge improvement, but for us it only seems to record 50% of the trips….Version: 1.4.4
