Horrible

Want current traffic conditions? Use a paper atlas. You won’t find what you want, but you won’t find what you want on this app either, but at least the paper atlas does’t promise what it can’t deliver. Horrible, frustrating, confusing, app.

Worst Travel App

Tracks your location to report your speed, can’t use it with location turned off.

What’s the point of this app?

I’m not sure what the point of this app is actually. Maybe collect data on us? I was looking for something to get quick info along the PA Turnpike. It was far from that. Actually I never got the info I needed until I saw the road sign. This app just drives you to a website that is clunky at best. The app has no use beyond that. Both the app and website need to be removed and started over. Total government waste!!

Fails to be timely

Real time is anywhere from last year and prior, not updated at all

No clue why they changed something that was not broke

When they first came out with this app it was as easy to hop on and check it quit .. Now it takes more time than it’s worth .. I wish they would put the search back where you could type in state college and all the cameras popped up or I -99 but now you type it in and it takes you to places your not near or try to find
