### 2/5 — Great app when it works

*2026-08-13, version 3.30.0*

This is the best app available to the public until recently. It goes down and doesn’t update several times a day and stays down for hours and days. Support doesn’t help. I have the subscription.

### 3/5 — New update

*2026-07-18, version 3.30.0*

Doesn’t work as previous before updated version

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2026-05-02, version 3.29.1*

This app was great as a tow company we depend on this app for quick info on accidents near us. The last 3 months or so the app will randomly stop showing incidents completely not sure if it bugs out or just stops working but now is a very unreliable app I just go back to using the CHP logs online going to have my drivers delete this app

### 4/5 — Not able to see accidents

*2026-04-21, version 3.29.1*

Not able to see accidents on the app

### 2/5 — App not working

*2026-02-18, version 3.29.1*

This app hasn’t been updating the past two days

### 3/5 — Latest update broke many things - no traffic info anymore

*2025-12-11, version 3.29.1*

While it’s great to see CHP incidents translated, the new icons, and notifications, other things like showing traffic intensity are gone. The notifications don’t have a granular filter, it’s unreal how many reports of animals on the roadway are made - the flood of notifications is too much. Will cancel my subscription until the app improves again.

### 1/5 — Still doesn’t work but you’re still taking our money.

*2025-08-31, version 3.29.1*

Adam, truly hope you’re okay. We used to get immediate response from you. We’ve paid for and used your App for years! But it hasn’t worked correctly for well over a year! Zero notifications. Was up and down the year prior. Yet you’re still collecting our money. Next step is filing a complaint to Apple. Honestly don’t know what else to do. 
*****
We absolutely hate writing this!!! CARR has been invaluable to our team for reporting road conditions in our mountain communities. However, we’ve sent multiple emails to support and contact with zero response and zero fixes to the app. Does anyone know another way to reach Adam to see if he’s okay?

### 1/5 — No More Notifications

*2025-08-24, version 3.29.1*

Why do we no longer receive notifications? It was great until then.

### 1/5 — Lack service and no interest from creators

*2025-08-16, version 3.29.1*

For several months we’ve been not being receiving any notifications from the app on any incidents or nothing and I have been emailing the company and they haven’t responded any of my emails therefore I do not recommend anyone to pay for a service you won’t get. They don’t even have the balls to answer

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2025-08-12, version 3.29.1*

I love this app and have been happy to pay the premium subscription for many years.  However, I’m no longer getting my requested notifications.  I emailed support, but haven’t received a response.  Any help for troubleshooting this please?

### 1/5 — No notifications

*2025-07-27, version 3.29.1*

Haven’t gotten a notification in months. No one reaches back out via email to help with the issue.

### 1/5 — App is not updating again

*2025-07-08, version 3.29.1*

I realize we are coming off the 4th of July holiday weekend but it is disappointing that incidents are not updating again. 

Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2026-08-19, version 3.30.0*

There’s app has very good potential, but it’s constantly not working some times longer than 48hours. Doesn’t update incidents not giving notifications a lot of the times it shows no incidents at all but when you go to the Caltrans app, there is definitely incidents. 

I definitely do not recommend if you need something reliable get the Caltrans app.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-01, version 3.30.0*

This app doesn’t work most of the time. Cameras, incidents all I get is error messages. Please fix it or take down because is basically useless.

### 1/5 — Malfunctione

*2026-07-15, version 3.30.0*

This app does not load any of the information it claims to provide. I will
contest the charge if the issue isn’t resolved in 2
business days.

### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchase, app will not populate

*2026-04-18, version 3.29.1*

I have tried loading and unloading app but I still cant get this app to work. When i try to filter incidents by CHP area office, no offices load. I hit the two different links to restore purchase, nothing happens. Select a highway and a pop up says the app cannot load incidents. Hit the link to report a problem and it says my mail is not set up. Maybe put an email address to correspond with in the app so when all stops working we have a way to reach someone. I loved the app but it’s unusable now. Ending subscription.

### 1/5 — Won’t load incidents

*2026-04-01, version 3.29.1*

No clue why this used to work and now the incidents will never show or reload or refresh on demand. No dev reply.

### 1/5 — IT NEVER WORKS

*2026-02-18, version 3.29.1*

I can not get any information waste of my money

### 1/5 — Fix

*2026-02-18, version 3.29.1*

Fix the app. It sucks. Mostly always wrong or lacks information. Maybe trying talk to Google and pop at try them to fix it. Better still merge with Google Maps.

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work Anymore

*2025-11-13, version 3.29.1*

This app doesn’t work anymore and it seems Adam doesn’t want to fix it. Just take your money. Find another app to invest in.

### 1/5 — Won’t load incidents

*2025-10-15, version 3.29.1*

No clue why this used to work and now the incidents will never show or reload or refresh on demand

### 1/5 — Used to be great but no longer worth paying for

*2025-09-08, version 3.29.1*

The app no longer sends notification so there’s no reason to pay for it. I’ve tried contacting them to notify them of the issue but had no response.!

### 5/5 — RJ trucks

*2026-08-11, version 3.30.0*

Good to see traffic in advance…

### 5/5 — Excellent Service

*2026-07-17, version 3.30.0*

Adam quickly addressed an issue with the app and then contacted me to let me know the problem I had reported was resolved. The app offers all of the information to improve my commuter experience! Thanks, Adam!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-06-25, version 3.29.1*

I always check CARR before setting out. It’s very helpful and detailed.

### 5/5 — Great app -- but it's up and down

*2026-05-09, version 3.29.1*

This is the best app, except that lately it intermittently stops working. It is definitely my go-to app for monitoring traffic conditions when I'm on the road

The app was down, but it has now been fixed. I sent an email and they responded back to let me know the issue had been resolved and the app is working again. I have used this app for many years, it's the best!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-02, version 3.29.1*

I use this app frequently and it works reliably, THANK YOU !!

### 5/5 — App is working!

*2026-04-17, version 3.29.1*

### 5/5 — The Best at What it Does

*2026-01-17, version 3.29.1*

I’ve been using this app for years, and periodically have tried other apps that claim to do the same thing however not a single one of them can do it as efficiently. There’s no bloat, you see the incident and can see the CAD details. 

The cameras and other features are a bonus as well.

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2026-01-08, version 3.29.1*

Love how quick and easy this app makes checking on road conditions. We have passes both north and south of us, so it it is imperative to be able to check what’s really happening on the roads before we leave for trips. Click into the app, click on the camera. You’re done. Love it!

### 5/5 — Great attention to detail

*2025-06-07, version 3.29.1*

Nice and clean.  Good layout and graphics

### 5/5 — Easy to find locations

*2025-04-19, version 3.29.1*

Use it exclusively for emergency response to locations/Accidents
