### 2/5 — Terms and conditions

*2024-12-17*

Doesn’t allow you to proceed and use the app until until you agree to the terms and conditions, every time I tapped on view terms and conditions the app would immediately crash and close.
So to be able to use it you need to tap the skip button and I guess you are on your own if you don’t agree to the unknown terms and conditions.

**Developer response:** Hi, I had a user email me about this issue yesterday and fixed it. Please update to version 2.0.4. Lastly, after viewing the terms and the app features, please consider editing your review to reflect the app performance. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Kk

### 1/5 — There’s a pay wall

*2026-01-20, version 2.0.7*

Doesn’t matter how cheep it is this is extremely misleading. Let me use it once and then put up a big pay wall. Very disappointing, not using your mediocre service when I can just look outside. Would be nice to try and plan but that’s really not worth my money especially when begged for something I’ll never use except for winter. There’s so many ways to earn money and a paywall is the worst type. Awful

### 1/5 — Not 100%free

*2025-12-29, version 2.0.6*

In order to get notifications etc you have to pay. So basically all you can see is road conditions

### 1/5 — Always Inaccurate

*2025-12-28, version 2.0.6*

Not reliable at all. We had an ice storm and the roads were glare ice. Even 5 hours after the storm started, the app showed the roads were “good”.

### 1/5 — Does anyone work here?

*2025-11-30, version 2.0.6*

This app doesn’t show anything about road conditions. We just had a full day of snow and the entire map of wi shows nothing. Useless!

### 1/5 — Horrible for use ability

*2025-06-13, version 2.0.6*

Mn511 is so much more user friendly and has more items showing and options to see road co structuring projects.  Wisconsin step up your game.

### 1/5 — You owe me 12 minutes.

*2025-02-12, version 2.0.6*

I looked for an app covering WISDOT 511, downloaded yours, followed directions re indicating which cameras I want to see. AFTER clicking on the camera map and learning the app is when I got hit with the price list. 
Nope.

### 1/5 — Subscribe

*2025-02-08, version 2.0.6*

Don’t do it! It’s a bad as handing a homeless crackhead five dollars

### 1/5 — Locked behind paywall

*2024-10-09*

Paywall for 511 traveler into 🤣

### 1/5 — Road trip

*2024-07-01, version 1.0.1*

I called on the phone for road information and all it did was repeat what I asked.  This system needs a live person.  I didn't get any information on road conditions from Wisconsin to Minnesota.

### 2/5 — ICE??

*2024-12-26, version 2.0.5*

Whyyyy take away the ice category on the road conditions map?? 😩 Literally the whole reason I BOUGHT the subscription! I’m not as worried about snow as I am ice for my commute. Cancelling and unsubscribing until that feature returns.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — MN and IA are far better and easier to see detail at a glance.

*2025-12-28, version 2.0.6*

See title.

### 5/5 — Very Nice

*2025-09-02, version 2.0.6*

This app works very well! It has helped me re route to stay out of heavy traffic more than once. Highly recomend.

### 5/5 — Chose this one Not The Blue Icon!

*2024-12-17, version 2.0.3*

I had the one above and it’s bad. I just loaded this on my iPhone and I’m impressed at what I see. 👍

### 5/5 — Quick and Easy Traffic Info

*2023-03-31, version 1.0.0*

I used to visit the government website for traffic cams which can be a bit of a hassle. This app provides the same exact footage and allows you to organize a group of cameras instead of making you search every time. Its perfect for checking the road conditions during our recent snowstorms so I recommend it to every WI commuter

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2023-03-31, version 1.0.0*

Very handy. I’d have paid for this if it weren’t free! We do a lot of highway driving so I check them at least twice a day. This makes it was more convenient.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-03-30, version 1.0.0*

SUPER easy to use!  I downloaded it and added several routes with multiple cameras in less than 5 minutes.

### 5/5 — Exactly what you need for your commute

*2023-03-30, version 1.0.0*

If you download this app, I assume you’re no stranger to the ebbs and flows of the Milwaukee traffic. The app helps solve the problem of do I take 43 or 94 without having to rely on stale google maps. Also, no adds or bugs. Extremely smooth and easy to use

### 5/5 — Simple. Functional. Intuitive.

*2023-03-30, version 1.0.0*

I do my best to stay off the freeway at typically heavy traffic times. Sometimes it can’t be avoided. This app effortlessly helps me plan the best escape from the east side when traffic is at its worst.

### 5/5 — Easy to use, insanely helpful

*2023-03-29, version 1.0.0*

All the traffic cameras you need, popped into one helpful app. Sure, this data is available in other places but this app makes it so easy to view, and create different saved maps/routes for where ever it is you're going. I made one for my old work route downtown and one for the highways I take to my family's home. I will look forward to seeing these on a snowy day for fun, too!

### 5/5 — Thank you for thinking of doing this

*2023-03-29, version 1.0.0*

Brilliant idea and works a charm! This is really going to help me avoid heavy traffic visiting my Dad in Illinois. Thank you! Way better to see traffic in real time rather than hoping map user algorithms align accurately!
