  • Simplicity

    All I want is to see where the road is good to go. Why does everyone think the upgrades are better. Green is good, Red is a slow down, Black means the traffic is stopped. Alerts in the area you are traveling. That was good enough.
  • Used to use it but too many permissions now

    I used to click on the app for helpful and quick real-time traffic info but now keep getting a bunch of permission screens that I need to click through. Defeats the purpose.
  • New system stinks

    Why didn’t u leave well enough alone.
  • Horrible new format

    The amount of steps that I now have to take to get to the map is unbelievable. Please change it back, not user-friendly at all now.
  • Does not respect location setting

    This app will monitor your location even if you have it set to only use location services while using the app.

    I discovered this because my battery was draining quickly after installing the app.

    I have an iPhone 15. The Dynamic Island shows the app’s icon even when not using the app.

    The developer doesn’t allow you to use the app without location services enabled- which should not be the case. The app doesn’t need to know my location for me to see the cameras in other parts of the Commonwealth that I want to see.

    Like all other things government, this too is wasteful and not functional the way it should be.

  • Winter help

    It works and gives me the info I need. It’s not too dressed up as an app so if I need to show an older relative they can figure it out too. Thanks!
  • Terrible and practically useless

    Camera's are Inop most of the time.
    Better to use one of the Pgh TV News stations . Typical Pa garbage !!!
  • Needs some updates

    This app use to be great but now there is so much lag and sometimes the video just doesn’t play or cameras aren’t working. Please fix.
  • Not Helpful

    With all of the new technology that is out there, I’m shocked that this app hasn’t been updated in features in over four years. States like Ohio have road sensors, live cameras everywhere (not just a couple of interchanges) and user-friendly interactions. For such a large state, with major cities and interstate roadways, this app is disappointing.

  • Great App!

    I have had this app for a couple years. It is not fancy, but it works. I get the information I am looking for before I leave home. I love that I can put my route and the time stamp of when my roads are taken care of or see where the trucks are if they haven’t.
