Fix Cameras
Can someone please start checking the videos, I’ll travel along SR 152 and the camera has been temporary unavailable for months now. There is another camera on the same route that has a messed up screen. I like to use this app as I drive two hours each way for work but with the cameras unavailable, I shouldn’t even bother with this app!Show lessHandlingit!
Still love this app
I finally opened this app for the first time this season to check chain control and was surprised to discover the subscription model had been implemented for things that were usually free. I initially balked, for about five minutes... then remembered that I had been using the app for years for free, so the small yearly fee didn’t seem unreasonable and I signed up.
I live in the mountains, so I normally use this app for chain control notifications and CHP incidents along the long mtn highways to prevent me from driving to the bottom of the mountain, only to discover a crash and closed road at the bottom. It works great, especially in driving mode when it reads the incidents out to you. The app does other things too, but I’ve never used those features so I don’t know how well they work. But if you live or travel in snowy conditions, this is the easiest way to find chain conditions, and is well worth the yearly fee for this feature alone.Show lessI throw 99
No more notifications
Loved this app until a few weeks ago when we (husband has it too) stopped getting notifications about CHP incidents. Looking at the update info, it seems this has now been moved to a “paid recurring subscription” option.
Since I’m not big on opening an app every 20 mins to see what’s new (as opposed to getting a Lock Screen notification), this app is no longer useful to me. I’d pay a one time fee but not a monthly/yearly subscription fee just to get notifications.Show lessToobusy9561

I’m sorry that the subscription cost caught you by surprise. I had to implement a subscription model to help offset the cost to run and maintain this app.Good app but..
Maybe for the next update make it to where it works with dark mode.. when you try to view information by highway, you can’t see the list with dark mode enabled. Thank you.DefyingLabels
Awesome to have chain control notifications
Love that this app sends sound and lockscreen notifications when chain control goes into affect and when it is lifted. Also extremely handy that you can see the chain control level (R1-R2-R3) displayed with the icon without having to click on the icon to find out. Thanks to the developer for fast responses to my suggestions.Show lessFogenbaugh
Very helpful app ... awesome
Thank you for your response Adam. I rely on your app before and during every trip. I live high up in the Sierras and go to the Bay Area with your app giving me a heads up for the 200 miles each way. Great work.SmilinTimes
Must Have!
This app makes planning trips so much easier, especially if you aren’t on the major freeways most of the time! Knowing what is up ahead, such as accidents or road work, lets me save time by alternating routes, rather than sitting in traffic!PurpleJeb
Love this app for traveling
I love this app, i have been using this app for 5 or so years. I travel a lot over Donner Pass on I-80 and it is important to know what the weather conditions are, what road hazards there are, and specifically where the chain check points are. Not only could you read what’s going on they have cameras all around California that allow you to see live what’s happening in that spot. The updates of information have always been quick and close to real time.
This is the best app to use if you travel in California or over the mountain!Show lessJus10schn

Thanks for being such a longtime user. The latest update resolves this issue. You’re right about the chain control being inconvenient. I’ll fix that in my next release.The Best Road Report.
With the latest update, including Dark Mode, this is my favorite and most accurate California road report. Developer is responsive and regularly updates app. This update hands down is the best and works perfectly for night driving. Excellent. Thank you!Olcorral
Love this app!
I’ve had this app on my phone for many years. Prior to downloading it I had the CHP site bookmarked to a screen, but had to deal with full site info on a small screen. Over the years this thing just keeps getting better. Traffic incidents (including response times and actions), rest stop locations (and whether opened or closed), chain requirements, traffic cameras (many of them live streaming), and road closures. If an incident isn’t showing on this app it is also absent on the CHP incident page. All this information is available on various sites if one takes the trouble to hunt for it, but it’s all here in an easy to use app.
This app has had some ups and downs, but the developer responds to questions and suggestions in a timely manner and puts effort into its improvement. Personally, I end up wasting short stretches of time looking at the various traffic cams...especially during snow events.Show lessAnderld47
