New version offers features not in original Beta release
Noordwijk (The Netherlands), 20 November 2014 – Decos,innovative developer of sustainable software, today launched the driving app Flo. Flo gives drivers real-time feedback that helps them be safer drivers and save money on fuel and maintenance costs in the process. Safe drivers are also greener drivers who cut their CO2 emissions.
Android users can download Flo free at the Google Play Store. After installation, Flo automatically records all trips, based on GPS data and the device’s motion sensors. During each time behind the wheel, 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. As the driver learns Flo’s feedback, they can adjust their driving immediately, seeing fuel and maintenance cost savings right away. They can also set personal goals and work toward them to save even more money.
A beta version of Flo was released in March this year. The version released today includes some additional features:
New Features:
- Invite friends from Google+ or Facebook for an online competition
- Get better feedback & points from our dramatically improved Flo-score algorithm
- The possibility to add up to 6 cars to personalize your account
- Improved battery-life
Existing Features:
- Trip scoring so drivers can see how well they’ve performed
- Audio and visual feedback while driving
- Personal goal setting, for safer, sustainable, cost-conscious driving
- Trip playback in beautiful 3D so drivers can see areas for improvement
- Automatic trip recording, including: score, distance, travel time and route
Flo can be installed on Android smartphones running Android 4.1 and higher. The launch of an app for iPhone is planned in the first quarter of 2015.
