Octo U was voted Global Mobile App of the Day by FWA
On January 9, 2016, a Favourite Website Awards (FWA) panel, including judgesfrom Google, Microsoft and Adobe, voted telematics insurance app Octo Uas Global Mobile App of the Day.
The Octo U app, which is free and available for both iPhone and Android smartphones, collects, analyses and stores telematics data on motorist driving behaviour, but also serves as an invaluable learning tool, pointing out how to improve driving, alerting drivers to recurrent dangers (such speeding, hard braking, etc.) and improving road safety in general.
Once downloaded and registered, Octo U automatically begins collecting data on car journeys. The app detects, reconstructs and analyses all significant events that occur during a trip, such as hard braking, rapid acceleration, speeding and how curves are negotiated.
Moreover, drivers using the app and exhibiting safe driving styles can take advantage of insurance discounts of up to 10%, loyalty points, fuel points and promotions, in select countries.
FWA is recognized by the industry as a top Internet Award Programme. It was established in May 2000 and was the first online award programme to receive over 200,000,000 site visitors.
