Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app has been updated to a version that my older phone can’t now download, no opportunity to go back to the previous version. Get a new phone or tough, you can’t use the app anymore. Thanks for nothing.
artehole
Every single time I sign in it comes up with an error message saying that I can’t access my policy details at the moment. I am worried as I am not able to access my blackbox score. I need to know this key information so I can improve driving to make it cheaper for the next year.

The app itself is ideal especially if you have a black box. However, you physically cannot make a change to any part of your insurance unless you call, it will take you all the way through the quote to the very end just for it to say you have to phone them.
