MDT 511 Travel Info User Reviews

Top reviews

Can’t trust it!

Essential for commercial driving in winter, this app and the information it contains is embarrassingly bad compared to other states that provide clear, detailed and up to date information on roads and conditions. Maybe call the app developers of MN, CO, WY or ND etc see if they can give you some pointers!

Not user friendly

The old app was so much better. You can’t look at the map and legend at the same time so you have to go back and forth over and over. Really disappointing, and navigating on the map while reading the legend is impossible. I can’t believe it hasn’t been changed as the reviews from two years ago state the same problem. Give us the old app back! This is trash.

Free app version of website

Better than expected from a free state app. It’s better than the website and will live on my phone forever now. That’s it. Rating 5 to balance the hate.

Absolutely terrible to navigate

Wyoming 511 is simple and easy to use. I wish the Montana 511 was easier to navigate and use. There’s like 12 different “road conditions options” and Wyoming has 5. Montanas cameras don’t even freaking work???? I was trying to travel through and the cameras were no help and pitch black. The Wyoming cameras keep updated and have night vision so you can see them in the dark. I’m extremely disappointed in this app.

Destination point or start point?

Setting the destination point is too confusing. It should be easy. But it acts like it’s my start point.

Not trustworthy

At best they update road conditions twice a day in the winter. The old version was way better. In Montana this MUST be updated more often if you want this to be an app that can be used.

Great App

This app is well laid out and has great, helpful information!
Better than the apps for the 2 states below MT

Detailed and Informative

Appreciate the details provided especially with how interesting MT weather can get. There are lots of layers for conditions and I take that over vague any day. Want to see a worthless reporting tool? Take a look at Idaho’s version of this, that will give you perspective.

Simple, informative, and easy to use

Not sure about why so many complaints about the new version, other than it is just different than the old and people want to resist change (I get that).
I think the new version is easier to use and provides better information faster than the old, which was really dated. Kudos for stepping up.

A little clunky, but works.

Title says it all.

Move the button that plays the robot voice of someone reading the weather report. That’s where the “close”button typically is, not a “play sound” button. I always end up having to close the app to get that robot voice to stop telling me how icy it is.
