    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
    This is occasionally a very helpful app for driving in Minnesota winters I say occasionally because half the time it wont 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 thats not often
    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
    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 its awesome                 Lifesaver
    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
    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
