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

Awful
No plow data displayed. (Yes the feature is turned on) Turning on road conditions turns off all other features. Check your route useless. Sometimes a camera will show on the map. Others it won’t. The old app worked perfect. The new 511 is just as bad as compass.
Old version was better
New version is terrible. Doesn’t show where plows have been most of the time.
Is it possible to make a worse app?
Answer is no. Complete garbage
Needs work
Constantly freezing up then doesn’t load the map.
Go back to the old version
Deleting app . The old version I used all the time. The new version doesn’t even compare. It doesn’t show the correct traffic speeds. Doesn’t show incidents. Useless. I’m deleting it right now actually.
Convoluted
All we want are road conditions and traffic cameras! Why did you have to add so much vomit to a simple travel app? It’s ridiculous now
Garbage app
Can’t find cameras in it at all anymore. It wants to be a gps routing app, but we all have 3 of those on most of our phones already. I only ever used it for looking at traffic cameras to see if accidents were cleared. Now I just go to the 511pa website and find them there. Congrats, you ruined it.
I would give zero stars if I could. New app is inaccurate.
The app has been absolutely terrible, ever since it was updated. It was way easier to use before and much more user friendly. The app doesn’t display accurate information. For example, tonight, 12/15/24, there is an accident at the 117 mile marker on I-80 eastbound. It doesn’t show on the app, even though I have incidents selected. But it shows that accident on the website. This type of thing happens ALL THE TIME. It’s especially ironic because the app says that there is congestion for seemingly no apparent reason. I also cannot figure out how to look at the cameras without having to zoom in and out and select each on individually. That’s ridiculously time consuming. The same is true of trying to figure out what types of accidents, roadwork, etc is going on. I liked being able to select a region and look at everything, not have to look at an entire roadway or multiple roadways. And since it doesn’t accurately show incidents, using the map my route feature doesn’t make that any more efficient. I don’t want to map a route to see what is going on. I want the old app back that allowed me to see things in an easy way and was actually accurate. At this point, my husband and I are just going to delete the app and use the mobile website, since we cannot trust the app to be accurate and cannot use it with ease.

useless
It’s useless. It didn’t even show lane closures the web site has. WAZE has more information. I deleted the app. Bad info is worse than no info. VA511 App, That’s a high quality app.
Terrible!
This version is so much worse than the old one. I can’t even get the map to show up. The whole app is slow, clunky, hard to navigate…there is nothing good about it! Fix it, please!
Barbaric
This is the most useless app after the update it doesn’t give you anything you need to properly navigate the roads in pa that other apps already have it just takes you to the 511 website and the website is not mobile friendly a true government accomplishment
Old version much better
The old version was simpler and easier to use it was informative, and extremely helpful, a great tool. I drive for a living and used to use this all the time since they’ve updated it. I hardly use it at all and when I do it, it’s about useless
New update is bad
I do not like the new version. Can’t quickly see traffic details. Have to plug in a destination address. Then I put in address and it tells me no routes are available for my destination.
Deleted the app
Whoever designed the update should be fired. The app is worthless. Use to be easy to get traffic updates. Not anymore. Wasn’t e of time
Regarding new version of 511 pa app
The old was more useful. Make a separate app connection to just the web version that links direct to traffic map. Get rid of the reduced screen appearance with link to X or an ability to easily hide the header. New screen is too cluttered and reduces what be easily seen on pocket phone sized screen. If I want to map my route I will go direct to my favorite app. Thanks
