✓ Very GratefulI got the HUM for free as an add on to getting the Gizmo for my 9 year old and was just like “whatever” about the HUM because it allowed me to get the Gizmo for free. We’ve had a baby in the NICU the last 74 days which also happens to be an hour from our actual home (I mention this because having a baby in the NICU any amount of time is extremely expensive so funds are more than tight especially since I we decided I won’t work while out baby is in the NICU) and this morning I finally decided to install the HUM into the car and then BAM on the way home in almost 100 degree weather our alternator goes out we are stranded on the side of the highway like 7 miles from home. HUM rep got all our info and after 30 minutes we were towed home FOR FREE... we called two other shops before I finally said “let me call HUM” one wanted $70 to tow 7 miles plus a $75 hook up fee 😳 TOTALLY WORTH THE $15 a month!.Version: 5.71.18281
✓ Incredible app especially for devious dadThis app lets you know everything I ever needed about my car. Other than a low battery warning I have never had another problem with the car that would require notifications. The fun side of it is when a son happens to borrow the car to meet us somewhere.....you can call them and say. Slow down. Next left. Or....you do know the speed limit on 81 is 65 riiiiight???? Lol. Have been able to get 3 of my kids with this. Thanks for making “Daddy Vision”. Epic!!.Version: 8.52.211904
✓ Peace of mindOur college daughter’s car being that it is older did not have any capability for anything like Onstar so we decided to try Hum by Verizon and it is a nice product to show driving records, vehicle alerts if maintenance is needed on the vehicle and use of cell phone calls with hands free driving through the speaker system and she can call if an emergency arises. You can set boundary parameters for the driver and know if they are going out of that radius with alerts to the parent. You can also see where your vehicle is at all times even if they are traveling out of the state. She has had a 97% good driving record with the Hum monitoring system. During the winter we had an alert about her battery being low and thus it saved her from having a dead battery and non use of the car. I would recommend Hum by Verizon as it gives us as parents peace of mind..Version: 5.061.18242
✓ Nice app. Device great when working.Unfortunately Hum gets a 3 Star from mainly because of Verizon. Was great when it worked. Then without warning the OBD (plug in car)device quit sending a signal. You couldn’t see where the car was, no driving history & worse if my 16 yr old wrecked a emergency signal would not be sent. I call Hum customer support & they were great. I was told to take it back to the Verizon store & exchange for one that works. Verizon warranties the device & they will not give one in a store. They will send one. So now instead of a day or 2 without the peace of mind & the emergencey contact that the Hum gives me when my teenage driver is out, I have to wait until Verizon mails one. I think this device is great. For a new teenage driver it helps the parent know they are safe & if there’s a problem wreck or service, then you are notified through the app. Verizon has ruined it for me..Version: 5.022.18081
✓ Best Thing Verizon has ever Sold !!Bought these for all my kids when they started driving. Let’s me know if they are driving too fast, or have car issues. I was able to text my daughter she left her headlights on when she went into the movies -because I got a battery draining alert. it would allow me to track them as well -but I have found no need for that since they know I can go back and check their history. Also comes with road side assistance -i’m really surprised it’s not more popular.Version: 9.054.222101
✓ Moving violationHey I purchase the original black box hum when it came out. I was traveling off the RFK bridge in Harlem near motor vehicle on 125 street. Nypd stopped me traveling south on 2nd Avenue. I told the officer why you stopped me . He said I saw you talking on your phone. I told him I have an hands free device. I said call your supervisor. He said license and registration. I gave it to him. Gave me a ticket. Went to court back in November 2018! Judge looked at the receipt when I purchased the item. Brought in the items from hum. Brought in pictures how it’s mounted to my vehicle. I beat the cops nypd At they nonsense so thank you hum for being creativity for what you done to avoid accidentally car accidents and tickets. Y’all must advertise more. That should be the scenario beating a ticket! Rate y’all an easy 10!.Version: 6.031.190905
✓ Only needs 1 minor featureI purchased this app so I could keep tabs on my teenage kids, unfortunately HUM does not let you know when your kids go to the library and then remove the device for whatever reason, it only alerts you after they have plugged it back in. It’s seems like such a minor fix since it’s mostly all done with coding anyways and they have it alert you once it’s plugged back in, it tells you it was unplugged at x:xx time and plugged back in at x:xx but like I said that’s after the fact. If we could somehow just know that it was unplugged we as parents could make a phone call and possibly prevent a bad decision, or even save a life, because when it’s unplugged the device says it’s last location so they could be in a ditch somewhere but Hum is going to say they are at the library. Just my two cents.... the coding is mostly there let have have something useful.Version: 5.022.18081
✓ My HumI have had virtually no problems with the Hum and I have had it for over a year. My Alexa Echo Auto works very well on the WiFi the Hum provides. Very detailed information is generated from the application. You can find your car, see where your kids are and where they drove to in a blow by blow account. Let’s you know if the car is in need of service and can make recommendations on repair shops. Our family has found the Hum to be very useful and stable... The Hum service for the Hum product is very expensive, the monthly fee is $50..Version: 9.123.225004
✓ I love this thing!The Hum is awesome! I love that I can actually track my car in current time and see exactly where it is, the average and top speed it's been driven. Every trio it's taken. I can set speed alerts. Boundary alerts; I can see how my car is running track maintenance. And... Have automatic emergency service notification if my vehicles are ever in a severe accidentand that's just on the original hum. I have both the new and original devices. The new one also is a wyfi hotspot so we always have internet access for our wyfi capable tablets, etc when traveling. And when paired with our phones can also be used to cask in to and out on if need be. What can I say? It's just amazing! Get one, you won't regret it! It's definitely worth the money!.Version: 5.71.18281
✓ AWSOMEThis does every thing. It tells you how many miles you get to a gallon. Diagnosis your car. Keeps up with your mileage. Tells you exactly where your car is parked. Kids don’t answer the phone. Just show up where the car is parked. Tell all their friends hi. They will answer next time I bet. Seriously if they would come up missing at least you could locate the car. (God forbid)). You will have saved precious time. Set boundaries. And you will know they went further than they should have. It tells you how long the driver was on their phone while driving. And a whole lot more. And help is just a button away. Wonderful customer service. I love mine and would purchase again..Version: 4.112.17481
✓ Value ToolWe purchased the HUM since are 16yr old started driving and it gives us parents a “Piece of Mind” when he travels. It’s Funny cuz his mother n I didn’t tell him about the HUM when we first purchased only telling him we purchased a Bluetooth Speaker Phone so he doesn’t talk n Drive. So he connects his phone to system. Low and behold after setting the Speed Limit on the app, we call him over the Speaker Phone, asking our son why he’s speeding speed limit. So what does any 16yr old do? Denies it, well after explaining what HUM really was we know have a SAFE and Good New Driver in the Family!! Thanks HUM.Version: 4.121.17507
✓ Very Useful AppI love this app because I can keep up with where my mother is. I can keep up with the diagnostics of her car. She can notify help if needed. It will notify help in the event of a collision, and she is not able to notify help. I can also use the app on my phone to let me know where the best gas prices are in my area. We have had the HUM device for about seven years! They notify me when her car battery is low or when the HUM device needs to be charged. I am notified when her device goes off-line. Then I can notify her caregiver to correct the issue! Totally worth the investment!.Version: 9.095.223901
✓ Ford rangerThis is a great product. I bought my 08 ranger last year and put the hum in it. It tracks everything from fuel speed and location to oil changes and lets you know of any problems you may have. It is nice to have if u like to maintain your vehicles. And also if u let someone borrow your truck or car u can see how they treated it all by logging in to the app for hum. I truly. Recommend this product to any one for any car and any age. In my opinion it’s better than ON STAR and sure is a lot cheaper and it can tell you more info than what a GM ONSTAR can give. If you don’t have a hum get one it will come in handy down the road. You won’t be disappointed!.Version: 6.032.191211
✓ Great Idea But...I’ve had HumX for quite a while. I like it but it seems to have a location problem. It shows my car miles away from home where it sits. I can’t get it to locate correctly. This is a new problem. About 8 months ago I got into the car to a dead battery. N O WARNING from Hum. Just recently I DID get a warning the battery was fading (turned out it was a defective battery) but the warning came to late. Hum did tow it to my dealer. But they only tow for 10 miles and in this case the overage was 2 miles. I was charged very little for the tow extra cost. This app is a great idea especially when everything is working. But I find it hard to trust it now. Most annoying is locating my car which is important for many reasons. I have not looked but I’ll bet there are better more reliable apps..Version: 6.092.193741
✓ Great productThe buttons should be moved where you don’t bump them as easily and call support. I’ve called the police on accident once after shutting my door and called customer service many times. They need to make the buttons more purposeful and less easily bumped, but on the bright side, customer service is quick to respond and send assistance if needed. The location services are on point and the new added feature for your gas amount and mileage is awesome. The diagnostics have saved me meant times, signally parts that need worked on. Overall I love the HUM and will continue to add them to all vehicles we own..Version: 5.121.185106
✓ Overly SensitiveThis has been a good purchase and I like the features. Better and cheaper than OnStar. I will provide criticism in regards to the Safety Score. It seems have become too sensitive and unreliable. This is a shame because I rely on this feature to keep me honest and provide feedback to my insurance company. Recently, it has been accusing me of hard breaking in areas where I wasn’t even breaking. As a matter of fact, it has been tagging hard breaking a lot; too much. Also, I would like to see the Safety Score feature re-coded to take anomalies into consideration. Such as, ignoring a hard break tag if the driver has no other marks for the week. This would absolve the driver if he/she needs to break hard to avoid a crash..Version: 6.041.191405
✓ Amazing app and device!!I bought the Hum originally to put in my elderly parents car, just as a safety feature so we would know where they are when they disappear in their car, not to restrict, but just to make sure we know where we can find them if they get into trouble. It worked so well in their car, I purchased another to place in Dad’s pickup. A few weeks ago, I was tracking their way home from visiting my sister in another state. They got within 10 miles of home when I noticed that they were parked on an exit...? I tracked a few more times to see if the app was behind their actual movement. When I changed to satellite view it looked like they were parked in a stand of trees right off the exit, so my husband and I decided to go check it out. When we got there and saw 8-10 emergency vehicles with lights flashing, my heart about popped out of my chest! Sure enough, there was a crash and their car was right in the middle of the clump of trees! The Hum led us right to them before anyone had a chance to notify us of the crash. The device and app are priceless to me. Well worth the purchase price, knowing they will have safety features in place wherever they go..Version: 3.8.1733
✓ Without the Hum we’d have never known.The Hum was something we never really used, got it from Verizon due to a promotional offer and it was just 10. a month so figured why not. That was until 1 day our vehicle was taken into a service center, for tires & an oil change, which they took on a very fast joy ride, while sitting in their waiting area, got a call from a family member asking why the car was being driven at high rates of speed very reckless on an icy snow covered road. So pulled up the Hum App to see it was being driven 80 mph. Long story short we confronted them and reported them for recklessly driving our vehicle. Without the Hum we’d have never known. Always nice to have a set of eyes looking out for a vehicle because it does happen more then most even realize..Version: 6.012.190401
✓ Hum is awesome!I currently have both the regular Hum+and the HumX. Both of the products have made me feel safer for anyone driving my cars, and myself. I love the ability to see my car’s health, and even track my trips. I would highly recommend one of these products.. the only difference is the X does allow the WiFi (which is ok, but you have to remember you can go over your 1gig quickly, if you forget to turn it off) and the device looks more modern. The normal Hum is definitely cheaper per month, since you are not paying $10 extra for the data plan. Quite honestly, I really should have got the second Hum as a normal one, not the X, since I have tons of data on my phone. I was under the impression the Verizon data was CDMA, but it is GSM- my cellphone already has GSM, so kind of a waste, now- I wish I could switch it out, but can not, since under a contract, which I hate contracts. In conclusion, it is an excellent product, which I feel very safe with (I live more out of the cities, and I drive about 36k miles a year, so this is a must if something ever happens to me. The only issue I have now, is the latest update to app has crashed a couple times, the tracking keeps freezing on about past days location, and the mpg does not work now..Version: 5.011.18027
✓ Good app/ system, but doesn’t meet claimsThe Hum claims to know the price of gasoline at nearby gas stations, however the prices are NEVER the same on the app as they are at the fuel stations. It also gives you the gas usage per trip and your average gas milage, and this is completely false information as well. My app tells me I get over 40 mpg where I only actually average 27~29. Other then these and a few other bugs it’s a good app and meets most of their claims, I love that it shows each trip and if you make a sharp corner or brake hard it shows on the app exactly where it was detected, good system would highly recommend.Version: 6.124.195202
✓ Limitations of humI love the features of my hum device but I have found that it lacks the intelligence to detect when roads are sharp and require “sharp” turns. I’ve also noticed the sensor does not completely zero in on the roadway when creating your path but it is within close proximity. This is either the best alibi or the worst tattle tale invented. It even will record how fast you drive and where you are when you are driving at the speed of your choices. You can program in the values and it’ll record the data. It’s also very in tune with how much gas is actually in your car so if the little arm on the indicator breaks you have a fail safe system..Version: 6.071.193102
✓ Extraordinary Vehicle companion AppI've been a Verizon HUMx user for the past few months, and my experience with the device has been great. However, my review of the application has some suggestions and feature requests which I believe would add to the value of HUM. First, I think the navigation portion of the HUM app needs to be seriously reviewed. It has a tendency to crash and close on me when I am using it for directions, which means it needs some serious redesign or it needs to be removed and redirected to either Google or Apple Maps. Second, the Safety Score seems to be especially sensitive to sharp cornering and hard braking. I think the parameters by which the application judges those instances should be adjusted to be a little more realistic. Lastly, HUM should automatically detect when I am a passenger or when I am driving by just determining whether my car is on or off. It's a bit annoying that I need to tell HUM when I am driving and when I am not. Overall, my experience with the device and application has been great but Verizon has the potential to make it better..Version: 6.021.190510
✓ Love that this app!I installed this app on my daughter’s car to give me a sense of security when she drives her car back and forth to college, which is over 4 hours from home. It’s great to be able to look at the location and see that she’s at school, safe. It also has detected a couple of issues with the car that have reoccurred. It’s nice to be able to know ahead of time what the codes are in case the mechanics try to tell me it’s something else. Knowing that if there was any emergency on the road, my daughter can press a button and immediately be connected to a live person for help is invaluable. Overall, I’m very happy that I got the Hum!!!.Version: 4.102.1744
✓ A Great AssistantI’ve had my HUM for around 15 years and it is still a lovely tool. While it has a hiccup once in a while, it’s great for alerting the driver when they go over the set speed limit and if there’s a problem with the electrical system or drive train I get a notice. My two favorite things about my HUM are; the fact that my one is the older version but according to the ratings it still beats the newer versions. And-I can find the car. When my Husband is out and can’t answer his phone I can see where he’s at with the location system. I’m not spying, it’s in case he’s late or the weather turns-I see it as a safety net. My Mother uses hers when she can’t find her car in a large parking lot or garage. Overall, I love it and plan to keep it until it dies..Version: 9.123.225001
✓ Great Device & AppI use this on my 81 year old father’s vehicle. It’s great for showing pretty much in real time where he is. It shows the mph, location and even lets me know if he’s low on gas. I’m currently setting up “barrier alerts” that push directly to my screen to let me know when he’s leaving or arriving at a certain location. I recently had a “software push” update to the device that fixed some issues with mapping. And HUM spotted that issue, sent me a text and voila, it was 100% the next morning! All in all, I love this service and recommend it for anyone who needs “peace of mind” knowing where their loved one is!.Version: 8.041.211401
✓ Hum is greatI use Hum in my classic car and it works great. Alerted me to low coolant and a few other issues. The GPS location option alerts me where my car is and when it goes outside of a set boundary. Caught a dealership mechanic taking my classic car for a joy ride. Hum told me my car was leaving the dealer service boundary set and I called. The work being done did not require a test drive. The mechanic was reprimanded. The coupon discounts tab also has some excellent discounts. The Bluetooth speaker is clear and the support and mechanic support is helpful. I have not used in an emergency yet but I did accidentally press the emergency button on the speaker and they responded quickly..Version: 5.041.18161
✓ To keep on keeping on....Hum has immeasurable value towards road warrior requirements: roadside assistance is not limited; easy checkup of car’s ops means reducing the experience of surprises when having repair/servicing/inspection needs; location GPS id’s your car’s neighborhood in a more complete manner than mere street crossings; sharing wi-fi connection is far superior using the Hum X feature set as compared to cellphone Hot Spot capability; pro driving is now measured and reported by the app as relates to driving without distracted use of a phone while vehicle is underway. Even driving with territorial excesses can be noted by boundaries that may be set by a primary user for instances of leaving car with a parking attendant or when lending car for use by another..Version: 5.032.18124
✓ Great with some huge glitchesI bought this to monitor a teenager with her new car. No complaints about speed alerts or location services. I would love to see more detail about car health. My daughter's battery was dead and the mechanic said it was generating less than 9 volts. The Hum device declared all was well with the battery. I would have loved to know her battery was dying before she ended up stranded away from home. Update: My daughter delivers pizza now, which scares me to death. Having the HUM gives me peace of mind that I could locate her quickly if anything happened..Version: 5.031.18101
✓ Peace of Mind for Piece of MindThat’s just it! HUM gives you that! You know where your vehicle is and employees are at any given time. You are also alerted when your vehicle needs and new service. At the end of the day you can rest assuredly that your guys showed up to work on time and that your vehicle and equipment thats most likely in it are all safe. It’s unfortunate to have to even use a product like this to keep a person more honest considering HUM does a number of things to benefit your company. With the technology and info HUM provides, it will let you know distances and times from place to place, keep track of the milage, update you for services and repairs, show you the idle time, history and location plus the whole 9 yards as far as I’m concerned, etc.....What more do you need then all that I mean even if you find yourself in a sticky situation it has an emergency button to get the help you might need and definitely get it there for you a lot quicker if something was to happen. I gave HUM 5 stars because: 1) HUM could literally save your life and give you: 2) “Peace of Mind for Piece of Mind” And with that my friends go home safe and happy with HUM “Your Vehicles Guardian Angel”.Version: 5.062.18261
✓ Ring just plain works great.I would recommend this ring video doorbell to anyone. Works fantastic and little to no maintenance. I have had the one I have now approximately 5 years or more. I can be away in North Carolina and know when someone is at my door. Even talk to whom ever it might be, also. With the community inter connecting news/warning ability of the unit, I can see what is going on around town that other ring users upload to the community page. I would by again in a second and they update/upgrade software in the unit as soon as it is developed..Version: 8.033.211202
✓ Businesses took my car joyridingI recently purchased an expensive sports car. The dealership, Toyota of Tacoma, was installing options I purchased. In addition to the dealership, my car went to 2 other specialty businesses for these options. My car was taken, by EACH business (Euro Collision, Toyota of Tacoma, and JMS Auto Salon) joyriding by their employees. The HUM app tracked locations, time, accelerations, hard braking etc. Without this app I would have never known. I now have legitimate records that I can seek restitution for this theft. I have HUM devices on all my vehicles, and I recommend this product highly..Version: 9.022.220709
✓ Stolen carMy car was stolen 5/16. I got up and it was gone. Got on the Hum app and saw where it was and it was moving. Called 911 and stayed on the line with telling every stop it made and turn it made. The police followed my directions of where it was going where it stopped and went to where it was and arrested the thieves. I had my car back in 3 hours from the time I called them. I even made it to church in time. I gave a testimony about it and everybody wanted to know where they could get. So needless to say, I love my Hum device and I love the Hum app..Version: 8.61.212201
