Bouncie is a vehicle tracking and monitoring solution that records driving data every few seconds. With Bouncie, you can view the driving progress of your vehicle in real-time, anywhere, anytime.

Expanding the following sections will give you an overview of the Bouncie app, what data it provides, and how to set up certain notifications.


Vehicle Card and Device Insights

When you initially open the Bouncie app, there are items that you can quickly view as a snapshot of vehicle and device health in the vehicle card, located at the bottom of the screen.

  • If your vehicle reports the fuel level through the OBD2 port, you will be able to see the vehicle's fuel level.

  • The battery icon will indicate if the vehicle's battery is in a good state.

  • The engine icon will alert you to any codes being reported through the OBD2 port.

  • The device icon reflects how the Bouncie device is functioning, and you can see when the device last had a health check by tapping on the icon.


Menu

By tapping in the upper left, you can:

  • Edit your profile

  • Receive chat support, provide feedback and comments, and review articles, tips, and tutorials

  • View device information and change your payment method

  • Adjust vehicle and app settings

  • Rate the app, review the privacy policy, review the terms of service, and view your app's version number


Vehicle Selector

By tapping in the upper right, you'll be able to view a list of the vehicles associated with your account. Tapping on a vehicle from here will change the map to show the vehicle's location. You can also tap to see all your vehicles on the map.


Map View

Tapping on below the Vehicle Selector allows you to switch your map view to road, satellite, or a combination of the two. You can adjust map options for showing your phone's location on the map and showing a speed legend. At this time, only a portrait view of the map is available (landscape is not).


Phone Location

Tapping on shows where your phone is relative to your vehicle's location. This is helpful if you are searching for your parked vehicle. You'll be shown the path to get to your vehicle and a button will appear. Tapping on Directions to Vehicle gives you several options, including opening the path in a different app, and scheduling a car service to take you to your vehicle. Keep in mind that phone location is only visible to the user that is holding the phone. Other users cannot see your phone's location.


Vehicle Details

To open vehicle details, tap the vehicle's name.

  • Under the Details tab, you can edit the odometer reading and vehicle information by tapping Edit in the right corner.

    • Bouncie will ask you to periodically check your odometer reading since mileage is not reported through the OBD2 port. If you see a yellow exclamation mark next to your odometer number, it's time to ensure the correct mileage is entered.

  • Under the Renewals tab, you can set renewal reminders for registration, inspection, and more.

  • Under the Insurance tab, you can add your insurance info to keep it at your fingertips.

  • Personalize your vehicle's icon by adding a picture of your vehicle, or try our customizable feature to create your own emblem.


Real-Time Location and Trip Data

When you open the Bouncie app, the map will automatically update to show the latest location of your vehicle. The location of your vehicle is updated every 15 seconds, providing real-time information on your vehicle's location and movements.

Edit your map view by clicking the stacked view icon located in the top right of the screen. There you can choose between three views: road, satellite, and hybrid.

The map is interactive. You can tap on it to zoom in and out, which makes finding your vehicle easy!

  • To view the trip timeline, select Trips on the bottom left of the vehicle card.

  • Trips are ordered by date. Tap the date to expand and see individual trips.

  • Trip details can be viewed by tapping [•••].

  • Stats within trip details show data about the Drive, Speed, Fuel, and Habits.

    • This will also display the efficiency data of the trip. This percentage is the amount of time that the vehicle spend driving vs. idling.


Vehicle Care

By tapping on Care from the vehicle card, you can set alerts for any routine maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, windshield wiper blade replacements, fluid checks, and more.


Notifications

Bouncie provides alerts for driving events such as geo-zones, curfews, speeding, hard braking, rapid acceleration, and more. The app will send a notification immediately if an alert is triggered. Driving events will also be collected and reported at the end of a trip.

The Notifications area of the app will show you all of the notifications you receive about your drive, vehicle, and care. Tap Settings located on the bottom right of the Notifications page to further personalize your notifications.
