### 1/5 — App got worse

*2026-01-29, version 6.0*

Previous version was great showed traffic all over the state. Now it only showes traffic on interstate. And interface is more difficult to use. Why would you “update” something that is working fine, to make it less useful.

### 1/5 — Color Scheme is Terrible

*2024-12-26, version 5.4*

I don’t get it.  The color scheme the developers chose is beyond frustrating. Why can’t they use green-yellow-orange-red?  The map is interactive with alerts.  The color for wet roads is nearly the same color for icy roads. Brown means windy?  What if it’s both? This app is total garbage.  Take some hints from Wyoming’s road conditions app. Color the road appropriately and use the touch alerts to explain the caution(s)

### 1/5 — Legend needs to be updated

*2024-03-14, version 5.4*

Looking at the map and there are circles with a dash. I click on the legend button and there’s no sign associated with this. Does it mean the road is closed? No idea!

### 4/5 — Great ap

*2024-03-02, version 5.4*

Helpedto navigate thri co

### 2/5 — Not reliable

*2024-03-01, version 5.4*

App is not reliable. Stopped for an hour on I70 and app shows no issues????? Did not update tunnel closures , major power outage. If info is not accurate and up to date, then app is useless

### 4/5 — New review

*2023-12-27, version 5.4*

Just downloaded and reviewed layers and all. Not sure what all the low ratings are for. Seems great. Weather and cameras available. For me, that’s all I really need. As long as the data is current, this is a great app.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2023-12-13, version 5.4*

Looking for road closure exploration on I 70 west that I’m experiencing and only map showing on my screen is from my home in Pa!!!  Not helpful

### 1/5 — Worthless.

*2023-03-09, version 5.4*

Other than being able to view cameras (when working) this app is worthless. The road conditions are rarely accurate .

### 1/5 — Not that good Info to 3rd parties

*2023-02-27, version 5.4*

I thought the color coding was hard to read. At least you have a legend.. mostly it seems like the purpose of the app is to get iyour info to “give” to third parties.

### 1/5 — Fails to inform

*2023-02-22, version 5.3*

This app misses the basic information on weather conditions. If chains are required
