### 2/5 — No Camera during incidents

*2025-08-21*

If you want to view interstate traffic condition during an incident, DON’T!
The cameras are turned off during these situations

### 1/5 — From bad to worse. Dangerous.

*2024-12-20*

The developers should be jailed. Today was a major accident, and it took four MINUTES to launch because it had to update the smash screen. Then the app was useless in my car - unless I wanted a 50,000 foot view of Virginia.

**Developer response:** Update: We released a major update on Monday, December 7, 2020, with an all new interface and features. We hope you will download it from the app store and email us at GA511@iteris.com if you have any feedback. Dial 511 from anywhere in Georgia to report issues or request roadside assistance, or use the Roadside Assistance button in the app. Thanks for using GA 511. Safe travels.

(11/18/2020) Thank you for your review. The next major update is almost done and should definitely address the performance issues. The current plan is to release the update this month. We hope you’ll check it out and give us your feedback. You can also email us at GA511@iteris.com. Safe travels.

### 1/5 — "Stream not available"

*2024-11-02*

That title best sums up this useless app. 99% of the cameras never work. And the only reason I even keep this worthless app on my Ipad. Just like everything else GDOT does, it doesn't work and is a complete failure.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2024-09-27*

I just downloaded this app based on local news recommendations after the flooding from hurricane Helene. I verified road closures and flooding all around Metro Atlanta for my route that this app shows as clear. It might have some information about interstates, but completely useless for normal roads.

### 1/5 — Horrible app!!!!

*2024-02-10*

Now the app is completely useless. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Not useful; actually dangerous

*2024-01-29*

The one reason to use this is to get accurate traffic incidents (indicated by traffic helicopters near my house). 
Well, even after completely removing and reinstalling, “my location” remains zoomed at a national level. 
Not to mention they removed dozens of dormant cameras (due to highway construction), haven’t replaced them in over four years, and many are still dead. 
This is USELESS. especially if I’m trying to quickly determine where an incident is. And one high-def camera isn’t worth salt.

### 3/5 — iPad app failure

*2023-12-23*

the app shows the 511 black splash page and that’s it. Never hands over to the map.

### 1/5 — 😡

*2023-10-06, version 2.7*

Keeps Crashing!!!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2023-07-12*

App is average whit icons too close together, but the DOT cameras are terrible.  1) most are broken-take them off the app if not working. 2) cameras are dirty which makes them useless.  3) some cameras are pointing in a direction that does not make sense. More tax payers dollars wasted.

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2023-03-30, version 2.5*

Totally useless. Sitting in a traffic jam and the app tells me nothing. It is absolutely useless. Used to be good.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-03-04*

This app was really good before the update but since they done the update they overhauled the entire app and now it’s crap the cameras are saying streaming video error and that’s almost always don’t waste your time on this app.

### 1/5 — Completely useless

*2022-11-25*

This app used to really work well. You could search highways, construction, and for incidents on roadways. Now it does absolutely nothing. You can’t find any information on here.

### 1/5 — Horrible update a while ago!!

*2022-10-21, version 2.4*

Now the app is completely useless. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Yikes

*2022-08-06*

This app revision is awful. Why change what was working before? You can’t even see the map for all the blue camera dots.  Can’t find local incidents like before. Just a hot mess. I’ll stick with Waze.

### 1/5 — Frequently Crashes

*2022-07-22*

I like being able to see the cameras but there is no need for built navigation in this app. In addition to that odd addition the app constantly crashes every couple of minutes for no apparent reason.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-06-19*

I live outside of ATL and found the app helpful when visiting. The latest update is a disaster.  It’s like someone wanted to see just how well stuff could be hidden!   Ugh!

### 1/5 — Huge disappointment

*2022-06-16*

The 511 app used to be a great resource. I would check out the accident and construction areas in the areas I was going to be traveling. The cameras were helpful, too. Now, it looks like they’re trying to compete with some of the Map Apps. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to ditch a Map App that works all over the country for one that just does the state of Georgia. 🙄 Please consider returning to the earlier version of the app that was useful! I used to use this daily! Now, not so much!

### 1/5 — Absolutely the worst app

*2022-02-03, version 2.2*

This really was the best app for keeping up with traffic in and around Atlanta. I’m a First Responder and used the app a lot to get around trouble spots that would slow me down going to hospitals. Now it is just too complicated to use. It was that you could just open the app choose the area you were wanting to go to and look at the cameras to see if traffic was backed up and what was causing it. Now it won’t stop flipping pages to options and takes forever to load the maps. You can’t even look at the cameras without having to go through ten different steps. COME ON 511!!!!! GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL WAY THE APP WAS!!!!!

### 1/5 — Cannot use because of splash screen

*2026-07-01, version 3.4*

The app never reaches a usable state because the splash screen doesn’t load.  M1 iPad.

### 1/5 — useless

*2026-01-30*

tried to download app to get notifications if there was any wrecks on my 1.5 hour commute. However I am currently sitting in traffic, which I have been for about an hour now and there is no mention of this traffic incident anywhere in the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t INTAKE information

*2026-01-06*

I downloaded this app to report a problem, however there is no functionality for me to tell them something is wrong

### 1/5 — Really really bad

*2025-10-24*

As soon as you start to zoom 
In you don’t get the traffic speeds. Or much of anything else. Needs major work.

### 1/5 — I had hopes for it

*2025-05-07*

So i just stumbled on this app and the description makes it clear you can view live traffic cam footage but it didn’t exist. The rest is all well and good but all nav apps are the same. The traffic cameras was what got me going but it looks like it’s gone. Reviews look to be over three years old too. I guess i was just too late.

### 1/5 — Cameras

*2025-03-27, version 3.0*

Some of the cameras from Atlanta Road to Roswell Road on I-285 are either not streaming or the cameras are incorrectly positioned showing trees instead of roadways.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2025-02-24, version 3.0*

App won’t get past the start page

### 1/5 — All camera feeds “stream not available”

*2025-01-22*

What’s the point if the camera feeds do not work? Especially during winter events! GA taxpayers could save some money by shutting down this app. And think of the cost of all those useless cameras!

### 1/5 — Not Available

*2025-01-11*

Streams of cameras that would help my travels are rarely available. Maybe you should get some pointers from South Carolina on how to run your system, the cameras there are almost always working and very reliable. Huge disappointment. 
Would give 0 stars if it was an option.

### 1/5 — Stream Not Available

*2025-01-03*

I’m not sure what I going on but in metro Atlanta there are cameras all over that display no information. “Stream not available “ should not be the normal display for traffic cameras…. I hate to think how much of our tax dollars are used on this technology that has become unavailable.  Please get this fixed!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Service

*2025-01-24*

I can’t complain about the app since I’m not sure how to evaluate. What I can attest to is it worked perfect for me about 8 weeks later ago on I-16. Saved my bacon when I had a blowout! On the side of an interstate with a blow out I’m grateful for a bad app if it does the job! It did!

### 5/5 — Live camera views all around!

*2024-03-23*

I liked the app when it showed live camera views of the interstates. It was nice having still shots of the others. I love the new live cameras from everywhere now! Great improvement.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2021-06-13, version 2.0.0*

Georgia 511 is best app ever!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-06-15, version 1.50.3*

I work in the Emergency Management field and this app is something that comes in handy during work and when I get off.

### 5/5 — Real time

*2017-09-09, version 1.40.1*

Love the real time traffic cam can check the traffic before hitting the roads and avoid accidents roadways

### 5/5 — COOL TOOL!

*2017-04-24, version 1.40*

With all the alternate routes needed to consider while navigating in Atlanta, this is the perfect tool to get a heads up on traffic conditions. Information is in real-time with GDOT cameras, and the maps are interactive, layered and current.

Great job! - Thank you!

### 5/5 — I use it for the map

*2013-11-03, version 1.3*

It's always up-to-date and show the traffic flow around town.

### 5/5 — Time saving app

*2013-04-05, version 1.2*

I'm not sure what the griping is about. I can't ask more from this free app, gives me real time road traffic conditions & near real time traffic cam shots. Planning to travel around metro ATL, this app will save you some hassles

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2021-10-06, version 2.1*

But why are these giant blue dots so huge? I want to see where the cameras are but these blue circles block the view of the map. And then you have to zoom in way too far to zero in on a specific camera.

### 4/5 — Login Not Required

*2013-05-21, version 1.3*

Another reviewer said that login is required, as the app starts out with a login screen which is annoying. However, I simply clicked the Cancel button and it said, "Login Cancelled - Push notifications cannot be enabled without user login, do you want to continue?" If you continue the app works fine without logging-in and gives you access to the Maps, Cameras, Incidents, etc. Very handy app, but it should simply have a Login or Skip button at the beginning.
