General bug fixes and maintenance

User reviews

Why?

Horrible app. Huge potential. Failed goals. If you want to see what a distant electronic billboard says or what a traffic camera sees, then that’s great, I guess. Daily alerts? Nope. Route assist? Over promised & clumsy. Save time, just use the “Waze” app. Oh, ‘watch for snowplows’. That’s all the taxpayers got out of this garbage software.

Does not work

When launched the app only displays AZ ADOT logo on black screen and freezes.

Practically worthless

Constantly crashing and unreliable at best. I can get better traffic and commute time reports from my iPhone map app as well as from the Washington State DOT app-which isn’t even supposed to work in Arizona! That’s a travesty.

Utterly Broken and Useless – Who Approved This Garbage? ADOT?

The 511 Arizona app is one of the worst government-funded software projects I have ever used. It’s practically unusable — full of bugs, crashes constantly, and barely functions for even the simplest tasks. This is not just a poorly made app — it’s a complete embarrassment.

I seriously question how such a dysfunctional product could have passed any kind of official review or quality assurance process. Which government official signed off on this? Was this truly tested at all? Or was it simply rubber-stamped and pushed through?

Frankly, the only explanation that makes sense is potential corruption. Could there have been bribery or backroom deals involved? Because from a technical or usability standpoint, there is absolutely no legitimate reason this app should have been approved for public use.

Taxpayer money was wasted on this garbage. The public deserves better.
