### 2/5 — 511 Manitoba

*2025-12-19*

The app was displaying my location incorrectly, showing that I was currently in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I deleted the app and reinstalled it, but it shows a black screen with the word "Monitoba" and won't open.

### 2/5 — No conditions.

*2025-12-19*

No conditions have been showing on the app for the last few days (mid Dec 2025). It just goes to a blank map.

### 2/5 — What happened??

*2025-12-19*

I have been using this app for years, and it was always very reliable. We had a blizzard yesterday and it worked. This morning I opened it to check the roads, and it keeps opening south of Africa. I have location on. When I type an address for a route, nothing happens. I move the map so I can see MB but there are no roads. Very disappointing that this happens right when we need it!

### 2/5 — Not working

*2025-12-19*

App stopped working, cameras are gone from Ethelbert and no camera working up in RMNP.  App will not open. Delete and reinstalled the app, still doesn’t work. Disappointed really liked when everything was there and working.

### 2/5 — Updates required

*2025-12-17*

Need to be updated. Does work properly

### 2/5 — Was reliable last winter…

*2025-12-07*

This app was fairly reliable before but when I tried to use it today, it wouldn’t open properly. First it opened to the middle of the South Atlantic, so I deleted and reinstalled it and then the screen stayed black with the white Manitoba name and buffalo logo.

### 2/5 — Cameras

*2024-09-21*

Please bring back full screen viewing of the cameras, and the ability to zoom in on the cameras. You can’t see anything in a tiny square. And bring back the section where you can go to view all the cameras; have them all in one spot. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Room for improvement

*2024-04-22*

The general idea is there roads open / closed etc….  Would be nice if added weight restrictions option on filter kind of like North Dakota 511

### 2/5 — Only minor improvements....

*2024-04-18, version 1.2*

Downloaded this to see if anything has improved or not, & the only things improved upon are speed and intensity of colors, that's about it. Your landscape mode is real bad. Its not even a near complete screen picture of highways. It'd be real nice to have Zoom-in option, & definitely needs a wider fit for the screen for a better & easier view of roads on Cameras. Your push notifications settings are non-functional. You see toggle settings against a white background, with absolutely no options written. How do we know what we're being notified on?... Menu interface is a mess. Please make alerts options easier to read & please erase the white background in alerts settings. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Camera at oak lake

*2024-02-26, version 1.1*

I rated the app a 3 because I had to repeatedly submit feedback the camera located at oak lake wasn’t working. I probably submitted a dozen messages asking for the camera to repaired and put online.

It really is head scratching knowing these cameras are put in place for people’s safety. Drivers use the cameras to make decisions whether the highways are safe to travel on.

Hopefully the all cameras are monitored for functionality and repaired if not operating properly.  And it doesn’t take someone like myself to ask more than once to get things done.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2023-12-11, version 1.1*

This app was good at one time but now it doesn’t even work, used to tap on a highway and a box would pop up with road conditions and time of report now nothing happens

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2023-12-09, version 1.1*

This app used to be good and reliable.  Now it’s garbage. Very slow to update current road conditions and graphic display is horrible.  Miss the old MB 511 App. Sometimes best to leave things alone when they are working just fine.

### 1/5 — Not on the fly easy or accurate

*2023-10-27, version 1.1*

I absolutely don’t like the newer version,not that old one was any better…not an easy and accurate way to travel w this…used to b able to click in a section of hwy and at least showed the last time updated etc. accuracy of the road is horrible…be like omg this is dangerous whereas it showed partially covered? People travel highways and need updates in real time with real road real world conditions…not omg I shouldn’t be on here.NOT USER FRIENDLY…regular google maps does a better job but in winter we need to know is this highway safe to b on….and where’s the quick access to cameras.old fashioned way I guess fingers crossed….

### 1/5 — Update is a nightmare!

*2023-04-05, version 1.1*

I was hoping that the update would be an improvement but…. It’s now harder to see the highway numbers, it wants you to give it a destination so it can give you the road conditions, the “route” it gave me would double my driving time and it doesn’t give you the option to change the route. I can’t access the camera on my route anymore for some reason but I can access cameras that are no where near me. I wish I had never done the upgrade

### 1/5 — The new app is terrible can’t figure it out why the heck did you have to change it

*2023-04-03, version 1.1*

Why did you change it it doesn’t help at all

### 1/5 — If I could give them no star I would

*2023-04-03, version 1.1*

I just want to be able to check the road conditions. Now I can not use this app unless I let them use my location. So instead of being able to plan my trip safely I have to share my information that I do not want to share. I hate technology and what it has become.

### 1/5 — Useless since last update

*2026-04-16*

This app used to be great until the last update. It no longer shows MB road conditions or closures. All it shows now is just a dot on the map where your current location is. Big deal!!! Totally useless. Extremely disappointed. I’d give it 0 starts if I could.

### 1/5 — Stuck in the middle of the ocean

*2026-03-13*

The map gets stuck in the middle of the ocean. Would love to see this app updated to fix this bug!

### 1/5 — This app is sad

*2025-12-20*

This app is just sad. The information is outdated and very vague even the camera feeds are often up 5 days old. We can do better MB. Just look at your neighbours SK and ND but have amazing 511 apps. It’s no wonder that people take to Facebook to ask each other about road conditions

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2025-12-19*

Anytime there is significant weather and you actually need to use the app, it’s broken.

### 1/5 — dead app?

*2025-12-19*

this app no longer even opens… maybe somebody in manitoba transportation can get this fixed because right now it’s garbage and a waste of taxpayer money

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2025-12-05*

This has to be the most dysfunctional and unreliable apps ever made … never works when u need it

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-11-21*

Don’t waste your time. Can’t believe taxpayers paid for this. Just use the website.

### 1/5 — Need road conditions NOT navigation

*2024-03-09, version 1.2*

I wish I had not updated!! It is 511 MANITOBA! Why doesn’t it open to show Manitoba?
Most people who use this app want to check their local road conditions. It no longer shows my area of Manitoba on opening, but instead all of North America…I have to waste time trying to get the app to show southern Manitoba, which is horrible when you don’t have good cell service.

### 1/5 — They don’t update

*2024-02-09, version 1.1*

What’s the point of having an app if you don’t update the information regularly when conditions worse

### 1/5 — Update so slow

*2024-01-11, version 1.1*

Highway open. Still say closed poor information 
How this make safe

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very useful and accurate

*2025-12-18*

The 511 app always shows me real-time traffic, road conditions, and alerts that make driving so much easier, well not easier but more predictable. It’s simple to use, accurate, and a must-have for less stress driving.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2023-03-17, version 1.1*

This latest version of the app is really great. It’s really very accurate and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2022-12-25, version 1.1*

It is far better than the old app . Plan your route now and it maps it.

### 5/5 — Great highways

*2022-02-01, version 1.0.3*

What a great app always updated on time

### 4/5 — Snow Plow Locations

*2024-12-09*

Love the addition of the snow plows.

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2022-12-18*

Many improvements over previous app but would still like a list of cameras per highway for quicker viewing in addition to what you have here.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2022-12-15, version 1.0.3*

Disregard the negative reviews. This is a very helpful app. As a trucker I have found this app very useful

### 4/5 — More cameras are good

*2017-11-16, version 1.0.3*

It’ll help with my next trip outside the perimeter.

### 3/5 — Needs faster updates

*2026-02-18*

Generally, I like the app, but it’s not updated enough when weather is happening and it has no ice feature. So if it’s raining and icy conditions and the roads are super slippery there needs to be notification for that. Maybe a blue line or something?

### 3/5 — Not opening

*2025-12-19*

Asked me to re-login. Wouldn’t accept the login info. Tried deleting and reinstalling. No it won’t open, just stays on the black Manitoba screen
