Drive with the Flo

Flo, the driving app launched by Dutch software developer Decos, gives drivers real-time feedback that the company says helps them be safer drivers and save money on fuel and maintenance costs in the process. During each trip, Flo awards points for good driving, such as smooth acceleration and steady speed and deducts points for poor driving, including hard braking and driving too fast around corners.

Flo, the driving app launched by Dutch software developer Decos, gives drivers real-time feedback that the company says helps them be safer drivers and save money on fuel and maintenance costs in the process.

During each trip, Flo awards points for good driving, such as smooth acceleration and steady speed and deducts points for poor driving, including hard braking and driving too fast around corners. The app gives real-time audio and visual feedback while driving and every trip is automatically saved for later review in 3D, so the user can see what they did right and what needs improvement. Score, distance, travel time and route are saved for each trip.

Flo can be installed on 1812 Android smartphones running Android 4.1 and higher. The launch of an app for iPhone is planned in the first quarter of 2015.
