Really! *2019-04-11, version 40000.30.430040481* When heading home from work and I hear about a traffic accident I quickly go to my 69 news traffic app. But the first thing I have to do is see a commercial before I look at the streaming cameras! Sometimes it’s last minute and I don’t have time to see commercials, I want to see my route and how backed up traffic is! Do you really need commercials before watching the streaming traffic cams? ### 2/5 — Meh. *2018-11-16, version 40000.30.430040481* It’s always telling me no traffic incidents when clearly there are. ### 2/5 — It was better before the update *2017-12-14, version 16004.27.84* I get duplicate notices of accidents. If I want to share an accident through text, it used to be easier to just hit share. ### 3/5 — BRING BACK THE CAR HORN ALERT!! *2017-02-02, version 3.72.1* This app is great. My wife and I really appreciate how comprehensive the updates are along with the resources it provides us who travel extensively in the area. However.. ever since you took the car horn alert away we usually miss the traffic updates. My wife even thought the sound was cute so it got her attention. Then for a while there was no alert sound at all. Now we have a simple "ding dong" that is hardly noticeable and in reality blends in with other insignificant notifications. Please bring the BEEP BEEP and you will receive 5 stars from me! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — If I could give it no stars.... *2019-12-22, version 40000.34.260050172* This app is terrible. There is no traffic info. Deleted it. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2019-08-13, version 40000.33.530046427* Failed to give notifications and alerts after a while. Unable to get anything to work on my iPhone and my wife’s iPhone. Only works on one of our iPads. Reinstalled several times and still does not work. All settings are correct and all other apps are working correctly. Something wrong with this app. ### 1/5 — No help *2019-05-31, version 40000.30.430040481* I was stuck in traffic yesterday on rt183 south of Bernville for 45 minutes and no report..... ### 1/5 — Updating Should Be Quick *2019-02-08, version 40000.30.430040481* This app is not updated quickly. It does not help navigating around an accident. ### 1/5 — Missing traffic alert notifications *2019-01-04, version 40000.30.430040481* Haven’t received any traffic alert notifications on my iPhone in over a week . Following the Twitter handle is more reliable. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2018-12-26, version 40000.30.430040481* I receive notifications of the accident while I’m sitting in traffic. Rather than before hand to help me plan my route ### 1/5 — Traffic *2018-09-11, version 40000.30.430040481* Useless ### 1/5 — Horrid *2018-07-09, version 40000.28.190036688* This app is terrible. In the name of safety as drivers need to know when accidents happen and what roads to avoid. When 6abc apps report an accident in the LV area 45 minutes faster than you do it’s pathetic. ### 1/5 — Very slow to show accidents and heavy traffic *2016-06-16, version 2.13.2* Just went by 78 - google maps tells me it's closed. Also shows heavy traffic on 22. This app? Neither for about 20 minutes, then reports accident on 78 - but not road closure (which I could also see live). ### 2/5 — Traffic *2020-03-02, version 40000.34.260050172* Suggestion: update info in a more timely fashion all day and report on weekends. The Lehigh Valley needs 24/7 traffic reports! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hello *2020-05-12, version 40000.35.220051964* I live in NJ can I drive to phila tomorrow ### 5/5 — Good job !!!👍 *2019-12-29, version 40000.34.260050172* Excellent coverage of numerous area roads in the Lehigh valley and beyond. I have relatives that live in Texas and they are envious that 69 news and weather teams are so concerned for the people in our area. Good job guys , keep up the good work !!! ### 5/5 — Traffic *2019-10-17, version 40000.33.530046427* Love the updates, makes travel much less frustrating ### 5/5 — News Alert *2019-04-18, version 40000.30.430040481* So handy, u just click onto it & there it is, Everything At ur finger tips.....TKS A BUNCH ### 5/5 — 69 traffic *2019-01-31, version 40000.30.430040481* Review that I appreciate this site very much!! ### 5/5 — Sound notifications *2018-12-20, version 40000.30.430040481* I just wish I could get sound notifications about 2-3 months ago they disappeared tried deleting and reinstalling app but still nothing using on iPhone 8 Plus ### 5/5 — Traffic *2018-07-17, version 40000.28.190036688* Traffic and alerts r great and good info on gas prices. BUT ... Your weather forecast r terrible not reliable, call for rain we got nothing, I could have cut the grass today and it’s not a rare occasion your accuracy is about 20% right. Send your people back to school or get better equipment!!!! And your maps and radar r useless! Never accurate. I hope the weather people see this !!!! ### 5/5 — Kinda worthless! *2017-07-25, version 3.74.1* I opened up this app on Main Street in Hellertown to see if 78 East had traffic and it said No alerts! So I got on the highway and went no more than 200-300 yards and all backed up!! Tons of traffic!! Edit: Came back to reduce rating from 2 stars to 1!! Before I got on Route 22 East I opened this app and it said no traffic issues. Well by the time I got to Airport road traffic was backed up because construction had Route 22 down to 1 lane!! WORTHLESS APP!! ### 4/5 — Kool *2019-09-09, version 40000.33.530046427* Good ### 4/5 — Good app *2018-01-16, version 16004.27.84* Good and very helpful. Good for school closings alerts. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
