What s the use of having a road conditions app if they don t updated the conditions Pretty much useless More timely updates Bradt42
Won t show road conditions on the map What happened It used to work The Iowa one I also use quite often works just fine Won t work marconiusrex
This app is a great help at giving general road conditions Great app Wjaykay
The app has some great features However it doesn t get refreshed for long periods of time Refreshing Honeybearymca
I would like to be able to use this app for winter road conditions however most of the time that layer disappears I have to delete the app and reinstall but even then the layer may not be there Very frustrating Layers disappear vleighp
Doesn t even have an option for winter driving This is Minnesota winter driving is the most important Stupid Zzzfedhufcrjsehouvwhb
I thought that this would help tell me road conditions quickly What a joke The interstate is closed and the app says that it s open It s almost never updated If I could I d give it negative stars Don t bother slim891202
This app only gives traffic info which you can just as easily get from your normal maps app Nothing else works Road conditions worked for a couple minutes before the option disappeared completely Force quit doesn t restore anything neither does reinstalling the app MnDot won t want to hear this but you re better off using your browser while you drive than downloading this app Sure would be nice if it worked Capn.Dmorg
I love this app I use it daily Today 11 18 16 marks the beginning of the heavy use for the winter season I downloaded the update on 11 10 and I cannot get the traffic cameras to appear on the map I deleted and re downloaded and had the cameras until I had to close to app to do something else Upon opening no cameras Tried all the options and nothing worked Tried deleting and downloading again and I still don t have cameras Please fix this issue Great App recent issues Merlin713
The developers decided I surmise to improve this app Well it is NOT an improvement I can t get any information about the roads I actually travel on Totally useless I suppose I will just have to go on the road and find out the old fashioned way just exactly what the road conditions are Thanks Minnesota always thinking of us I can tell Revised deleted and re DLd this app now it works great will update review to 4 stars Terrible app AntiqueBass
This app is great if you are a commuter in the Twin Cities It gives current accurate traffic details in an easy to use format I use this app every day and I recommend it Very helpful app mb340
I use the app for road closings which are hemming us in on all sides this year I noticed at least one thing missing the Dale St ramp closure in the Hwy 36 project isn t shown but there s also a link to the project page on the MnDOT website where you can get details A necessity for road construction season Buciumeana
This app can be useful but it is not very accurate in showing congestion levels I find road depicted as open flowing are often actually stop and go I don t know if that is lag time in updating but previous versions of this app were more accurate Handy but not very accurate Cunamara
Need to make one for Texas and all other states this app is good but needs to cover all the states TEXAS Farmit84
Great app I was surprised to see reviews mentioning lack of updates though the day i use the app frequently to check the least traveled route out Minneapolis and always find it to be refreshed and accurate I LOVE the camera feature too Excellent Kaje333333
It would be awesome but it never is updated Road conditions are 16 hours old on major freeways An hour or two makes a big difference during weather emergencies Great in theory Anderson5178
This is a great app However it loses its luster when the weather is bad and the last update was was twelve hours ago I have a long drive in so it would be nice to get the most up to date road conditions I guess you can t really argue with free 5 star if they kept it current MicCor3
The power of the Internet Only a taste of what s to come in the future when even our thermostats talk to each other Oh wait mine already does that too Love it Wight__Spider
In order to see the traffic you have to remove the option and then turn it back on every time the app is launched This is a pain and was not necessary before the latest update Not working right TMYW
Ever since I updated to the current apple software version the traffic maps won t show red yellow green It shows no traffic info or crash alerts nothing It s just blank Which pretty much makes the app useless No Traffic Updates Mary12356789
I like the old version where it told you the condition of the roads not just if they had snow on them or not I like knowing if the roads are icy or not too Not better Crazy_horse571
Easy to use Like it better than the web Fred $&;",@:&.@:9-&,&;@.4)
Love this app lets me know when state roads are closed for construction flooding etc Great service Stephanied952
I use the the web based version a lot but I really like the mobile app Good work The Cameras are awesome Air Guitar Rocks
With all the flooding issues in the Midwest right now this app was incredibly helpful for planning my long distance routes Super easy to use and detailed Thanks to the team who made it it s awesome Lifesaver Jhfnfsgj
Love this app Live info at your finger tips But the cameras don t refresh I come back in an hour and look still same picture Greasy App but cams don t refresh BigBroLB
This is occasionally a very helpful app for driving in Minnesota winters I say occasionally because half the time it won t show the winter road condition layer Even when it does show the road condition layer it sometimes displays badly out of date information During our most recent snow storm Feb 22 2014 it displayed recent updates but an hour later showed only data from the previous day It did this all morning before reverting to more recent info in the afternoon Great when it works but that s not often SrjG
Can not update road conditions As other reviews say Needs lots of work to become as reliable as the web version Okay app Paulo Pagliari
This app is completely worthless It no longer shows road conditions which is what I need the app for Worthless Klaxn
Half the time I use this the road conditions layer isn t there It s not that it s turned off it doesn t even show up in the layer list Layers won t load Malmski
Great concept still has many bugs to fix After initial download road conditions layer was there After a few minutes just disappeared and won t come back Deleted and downloaded app again no road conditions layer at all Incident icons sometimes work when u touch them sometimes not Has potential but needs work Needs Work burninbarrels15
I have been waiting for an app like this Camera selection is a little confusing while toggling between cameras Best MN traffic app yet Good start
I really like the additional info you can get from the app instead of the mobile website map but this would really benefit from a time stamp and refresh button so you know how current the info is and easily update if needed Close but a few tweaks would make it better
Crashes every time I try to view a traffic incident or a traffic cam iOS 7 iPhone 4S Crashes
Im not sure if blue roads are icy or really painted blue in the great state of MN Every map needs a legend No legend
Half the time the road conditions option doesnt show up for me Of course those are the times I really need the app to work like its supposed to Often the menu freezes and covers half the map Could be great but is useless to me most of the time The website is not mobile friendly not even the mobile portionguess Ill just take my chances iPhone 4S Needs Major Work
Go back to the old way of selecting cameras I hate the new way It is not user friendly Cameras
Half the time I use this the road conditions layer isnt there Its not that its turned off it doesnt even show up in the layer list Layers wont load
The app is much more straightforward than the browser attempts Ive seen and it has a quick way to both the map and the cams Nice job Dont use while driving Direct from the source

Easy to use Great app
The new interface with the ability to layer road speeds conditions and incidents is easier to use Slight issue when starting the app make sure to let the map fully update before choosing any layers or it will have a ghost menu you cannot click on Request please make startup default layers location and zoom configurable Much better

What do the road colors blue mean in winter driving map There is no legend There is no feedback link for these types of comments When you tap an incident a whole new map opens up Why Dumb Just use the lower part of the window to display the info Should be able to swipe LR between menu options vs go to Home select go back to Home again select Again dumb Needs more work Contact me Im willing to help Needs improvement
Where are the county highways Looking at routes that have no reports at all From past experience with website there was better coverage Better coverage quicker updates
A legend would be very helpful I had to go to the website to figure out what each color for winter drive conditions were Kinda pointless to have an app but still need website to figure out how to understand it But now I know and can get a general idea of conditions Plus its good to know where accidents have occurred Its a good start But lets get that legend added Better than nothing
I wish it would save the last view settings Why do I have to zoom in every time 90 of the users are looking for the loop view Could be better
Terribly slow app and there was no legend for what the colored lines meant Dont bother downloading this one Slow and no information
This app will be a big help for my commute its fast easy to use and gets me the basic traffic info quickly Glad to see an app like this from MnDOT Nicely done
999 of users will download this app expecting information about driving conditionsdont waste your time It gives no information of that nature Fine for road construction but for weather related info its crap Garbagetotal waste of space
I use the the web based version a lot but I really like the mobile app Good work The Cameras are awesome
The information in the app is great there are just a few things in the design that could be better First you can only display one layer of information at a time Why I would like to see traffic volume and incidents at the same time for the metro It would be really nice to have the camera layer reveal itself when the zoom level reaches a certain point This would obviously have to be at a point where they dont cover everything else up Also why dont the incident reports have a link to the closest camera When looking at the cameras there seem to be some strange transitions between cameras when swiping from one to another For example you get the north end of Highway 100 and swipe to the next camera and its a camera on 169 which is kind of odd Also on a purely aesthetic note the home button on the bottom doesnt take you to a home screen it opens a menu to change which layers are turned on Perhaps a better icon could have been used OK Could be better
A real lifesaver A must for winter driving
Gonna use this a lot Real good app
Love this app lets me know when state roads are closed for construction flooding etc Great service
Dont waste your time on this app Crashes all the time loads really slow Crappy
Ever since I updated to the current apple software version the traffic maps wont show redyellowgreen It shows no traffic info or crash alerts nothing Its just blank Which pretty much makes the app useless No Traffic Updates
This is a great app I see that some people will whine about anything We never had anything like this in my day so this is pretty amazing when you think about it Very Nice
This seems to be mostly a wrapper around Google Maps with some traffic information overlaid Navigation is clumsy and there are the redundant zoom buttons though pinchtozoom does work a bit jerkily Theres no list of traffic incidents instead you must hit quite small targets on the map If youre off a little bit youll get address information from Google Maps instead Traffic speed information may also be coming from Google It doesnt seem to match the MNDOT traffic management center even in the metro area Overall Im not sure this is an improvement over the website Clumsy
No legend to make understanding the winter map clear Minnesotans need a good road condition app we can rely on Cmon guys lets get something better in place please Needs improvement
Definitely needs work It only shows road conditions if youre zoomed in on an area If you look at even a general region it doesnt give any data It just looks like google maps with no data Ok
This app is very slow to load It routinely does not display the winter driving conditions which is important to Minnesota This app should be fixed so that it loads quickly and immediately shows winter driving conditions I will be uninstalling this app until it is made better Poorly Done
Good app A legend of what colors mean what on the winter driving map would be nice Overall good app
Love this app Live info at your finger tips But the cameras dont refresh I come back in an hour and look still same picture Greasy App but cams dont refresh
Can not update road conditions As other reviews say Needs lots of work to become as reliable as the web version Okay app
This app is completely worthless It no longer shows road conditions which is what I need the app for Worthless
I like the old version where it told you the condition of the roads not just if they had snow on them or not I like knowing if the roads are icy or not too Not better
Please add a legend to define colors and symbols Had to go to full site for that info so why have app No legend
About as forward thinking as MN DOT It does not work Crap
Always useful for planning my commutes home Thanks MNDOT
How the heck do you know what each road color means No Legend
Its a bit slow even on my iPhone 5 But its accurate and helps with my commute in the mornings Not too bad but skow
Great concept still has many bugs to fix After initial download road conditions layer was there After a few minutes just disappeared and wont come back Deleted and downloaded app again no road conditions layer at all Incident icons sometimes work when u touch them sometimes not Has potential but needs work Needs Work
I use it constantly to check for any known accidents or spin outs before my commute home at night after work Helps me to be a little prepared before I get on the road Great app for winter driving
Nice to know whats going on before Im in the middle of it for a change Well designed too Nice looking App
Easy to use Like it better than the web Fred
I use this app almost everyday during the winter So nice to see the details of the road conditions Great Winter Driving App
When it is working it is great When it is not showing the current road conditions it is frustrating Then you have to go to the main web page to find out When it works
Good app the only thing missing is drive times Pretty good
Each time I want to check traffic I open the app turn on traffic and zoom in It would be nice if the next time I opened the app it would return to the traffic zoomed in to my location Reset
