What Is Required for Crash Detection to Work?

OtoZen is designed to help detect serious vehicle crashes using your phone’s sensors and location data. For crash detection to work properly, a few setup and driving conditions need to be met.

1

Phone powered and connected

Your phone needs to be powered on, have a cellular connection, and location permission should be set to Always.

2

OtoZen crash detection enabled

The OtoZen app needs to be installed, set up correctly, and enabled to detect serious crashes.

3

Minimum driving speed

The vehicle should be moving at a minimum speed of 25 mph for at least 30 seconds before the crash.

4

Complete stop after collision

The vehicle needs to come to a complete stop right after the collision for the crash detection flow to be triggered.

5

Uses phone sensors and location

OtoZen uses sensor signals and location data from your phone to help identify serious crash conditions.

6

Works on iOS and Android

OtoZen crash detection is designed for supported iOS and Android phones, whether you are the driver or a passenger, and can be used in many cars.

Important: No crash detection app can guarantee detection in every situation. Phone position, signal strength, permissions, crash type, speed, and sensor data can affect whether a crash is detected.

What Users Are Saying

Apple and Google App Store Reviews

I've been using this app to monitor my own speed as I tend to get caught up listening to music on my long drive to work everyday. It alerts me when I'm speeding. It also keeps a log of all your drives and organizes it by phone usage, top speed and speeding in general per drive. I really love this app.

I used to get anxious every time my daughter got behind the wheel. With OtoZen’s speed alerts and weekly feedback, she’s more aware than ever, and I’m less stressed.

Jewell_Bessief

This has been the best peace of mind. My son got a ticket the first week he got his drivers license and so I took his car away. I love this app because now I don’t have to worry and I can look at his drives and see if he was on his phone and where exactly he was speeding. This is the only way I feel comfortable giving him his car back!

Great App - From a Teen. I've been using this app for almost two years now (started my junior year of high school) and can say it's worth the subscription. I didn't want to use it at first, but there's so many great features that you have access to.

Justice (Teen)

Looked into several apps and devices before selecting 0toZen, and I am happy I did. I didn’t want the extra features of Life360 because I just wanted to focus on driving habits.

Mattfalc

Having a new teen driver was extremely stressful. We live in a highly populated area with lots of traffic and increasing crime. This gives us some peace of mind and having it on all our phones we have fun comparing scores and talking about our drives. It works consistently and is very accurate!

Angieladeda

A MUST DOWNLOAD! The ultimate app for families with teen drivers or drivers of any age! OtoZen is ridiculously feature packed with each feature adding layers to peace of mind regarding driver safety. From driver scores to speeding notifications and full trip reports, this app is a unique offering and a must download!

ThatFlyAppGuy29

Must have app, light years ahead all their competitors! First the app and the data for parents of recent teen drivers is amazing! They really thought through and provide the best data to ensure you are keeping your kids safe while on the road.

Peace of mind for parents of teen drivers.This is a great app for parents of teen drivers. My wife and I can easily see how safely our daughter is driving, and we don’t feel like we are tracking her every move, otherwise. This is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

AMP582023

I used Life360 for 6 Months and was so unhappy with its lack of specific drive information, and felt it wasn’t able to be tailored to my needs. We searched for a long time to find the right app and definitely recommend OtoZen!

Rachel H

This is a good alternative to ***360 apps that are too intrusive, IMO. This app does everything I want it to: track my kid, tell me how fast she is driving, lets me know she hasn't crashed, and maintains a history of where she's been, but not where I have been. It's not free, but these features cost something and paying is better than having your info sold. I recommend this app over the more intrusive (IMHO) competitors.

Answers To Your OtoZen Questions

Features OtoZen Other
Crash detection is locally done on the phone for fast detection.
Phone's location and sensor data is not collected and sent out to third party providers to help detect a crash. Your data does not leave your phone.
Emergency contacts can be non OtoZen users and they can also get an SMS with Live Location and crash information.

A crash detection app uses phone sensors and location signals to help detect a serious vehicle crash. When a crash is detected, the app may start an emergency alert flow, share location, or contact responders depending on the service.

Yes. OtoZen can notify emergency contacts with crash information and live location details, helping family members understand where the crash happened and what support may be needed.

Manual SOS is a backup option for emergencies that may not be automatically detected. It can be useful during roadside trouble, feeling unsafe, a medical concern, or any situation where someone can still reach the phone.

OtoZen is phone-based, so it can work in many vehicles without needing a built-in car emergency service. The phone must be powered, connected, and set up correctly for crash detection to work.

No crash detection app can guarantee detection in every situation. OtoZen is designed to detect serious crashes under supported conditions, but phone position, signal, speed, sensor data, and crash type can affect detection.
