Completely USELESS

App hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Additionally, many of the basic functions, such as adding a home or work address, do not work & users encounter errors throughout the entire application. They either need a Dev Team on this or CAN IT!

100% Broken

Was a five star spp, now can’t even save locations to monitor. New state administration pulling $ to give to illegal aliens, huh?

No alerts

Too bad this app does not work. I never get alerts from it. Even last night when freeway was closed for over 100 miles due to snowstorm.

App no longer works

It used to be good, but now I can’t even save locations to get alerts.

Broken

Doesn’t allow you to save a location to track. Looks like last update was 2 years ago. I guess they abandoned the all. Too bad.

Typical AZ…

Was a great app until ADOT decided to stop using it…
Typical ADOT, build more and more freeways but can’t provide the service of notifying when you can’t use them.
Just wonderful!

App no longer works

This app is no longer live and should be removed. It’s dead in the water.

It was good when it still existed.

Need a city or cross street

I like this app for what it does. However it would be helpful if it would give a name of a cross street or town along major streets such as Grand Ave.

App won’t work if location is set to only while using the app.

The app never seems to figure out that locations is working when I open it if I keep the Locations setting on “only while using the app”.

Doesn’t work

When you get an alert and click on it, it says it can’t connect to server because of permissions. Based on other reviews this app doesn’t work for anyone.

Nice idea. Too bad it doesn’t work very well.

If this app worked it would be great. Alerts appear only on my home page. When you get 4 and 5 at a time on the same thing it is confusing. I have changed the settings to keep expired alerts for 1 week but it does not do it. I don’t necessarily want to keep expired alerts but I’d like to see them longer and elsewhere besides my home page as a banner. And it doesn’t let you select specific freeways or highways. It liked and accepted I17 but it doesn’t like Loop 101.

Bad design

The app doesn't allow you to only add a specific location without you turning on the constant location sharing.

Location Service

Since location service MUST be set to ALWAYS this is a power drain. App deleted. I do not allow any app to have constant access to my location data both for battery life and privacy.

Don’t waste your time

This app only gives you updates of things going on around you and not throughout the state or places you may be traveling to.

June, 2020: Still broken. Good if you’re looking to drain your battery; otherwise, look elsewhere.

My intention was to set alerts for a few watched areas so I could be notified of closures or road issues in those areas *in advance* (I.e. before I drive there and find out a road is closed and lose major time discovering it). After all, the app advertises this type of feature. Too bad it doesn’t work that way.

The app keeps nagging me to allow constant GPS tracking in the background, even when I’m not using the app. If I do not allow it that always-tracking permission, then it will not allow me to create any “watched” areas. What a stupid design!

If they need to track my location to provide an alert about a pre-defined “watched” area, then it’s either not giving me advance notice (& requiring me to approach the area before it pushes me an alert) or it’s just a very stupid limitation in the design that will waste considerable battery each day as it seeks GPS locations, particularly when I’m inside a building with no access to a GPS signal.

I was hopeful that in the couple years which have elapsed since other reviewers mentioned similar limitations, that those issues would now have been addressed. Nope! All those old issues are still there… Except I have not seen the advertisement for that coffee gift card (so I guess they have made 1 improvement in the last couple years).

Background & Lettering unreadable

I love the idea of this app, but I can’t read it, because of the black background and the not so light letters. No need to be fancy- just trying to stay alive. Fix the background.

Absolutely worthless

Don't waste your time. Free is overpriced

This APP is great

I downloaded this application over a year ago, and rely on it to provide the necessary information concerning road closures and possible delays. This application gives on time road closures as well as other important information that travelers may need.

Nice

It’s good when I have to direct my mom where closures are and how to get home faster. Updates on the 17 are a big help when she’s driving north in the evenings.

Does what it says

This app lets you know when the highways are messed up. It’s not for creating a route map. Some previous reviewers seem confused about what it’s supposed to be.
