### 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.

### 4/5 — Cameras

*2023-02-14*

Several cameras not working

### 2/5 — Coloado?

*2022-12-15, version 5.2*

App is too cluttered. Used to be easier to read and was much more useful. I have difficulty finding the route/interstate number I want. Finally, how can I trust you’ve thoroughly checked and updated your information when you can’t spell the state name?! Coloado? Seriously??

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-10-01, version 5.1*

Wha happen to finding a road and getting all alerts?

### 1/5 — Problem

*2022-03-31, version 5.0*

Won’t open, says need server upgrade but none available

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-03-31, version 5.0*

This app was once just ok at best. Recently it received an update that was a huge improvement! Now, all of the sudden it says the server is being retired & to visit the App Store for an update. It’s updated. Still the same message. So I uninstall & reinstall. Still the same message. The app is completely inoperable. When I search cdot apps I now find one that requires me to pay. Really?

### 1/5 — Does not work iOS 15.2

*2021-12-31, version 4.8*

Feedback via settings options does not work.Tried loading app and it freezes. Refuses to work closed and reopened still not working. Shut off phone with app closed and still frozen when attempting to use NOTHING on screen works. App was loading but accidentally tapped mile marker layer option and it stopped working 100% destroyed functionality of app. Shutting off phone with app closed does not work. Maybe their servers are off line.

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t load

*2021-12-30, version 4.8*

I get messages that the app cannot load content from server. This has been happening for weeks. It seems whenever there’s a traffic problem, especially on the Interstates, CDOT takes all the camera down. I don’t trust the content given all the error messages.

### 1/5 — Bad, getting worse

*2021-12-12, version 4.8*

This has never been a very user friendly app and with each update, usability gets worse.

### 1/5 — Wont work

*2021-12-10, version 4.8*

I was working great but it’s like they turned off the server to it. It no longer works because they have a new one that costs 2.99.

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing!

*2021-12-10, version 4.8*

When I launch the app, it says it’s unable to fetch configuration data from the server. Is the server down??  Then the app crashes. Please fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-03-19, version 4.1*

Right now most roads are closed in Colorado and this app shows NONE are closed. This is useless!

### 2/5 — Old Information

*2020-02-08, version 4.1*

As I try to check for road closures, I’m clicking on flags to see if it will affect my travels. No, it’s a warning that they were painting stripes eight months ago. CO Trip was better!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2020-01-23, version 4.1*

This app and website is a scam. 
They charged me $1.95 then $2.00 five minutes later. I informed my credit card company. Three days later this company charged another $39.99. There is no number to contact or cancel. 

BE VERY CAREFUL. ITS A SCAM

### 1/5 — Worst state app ever

*2020-01-06, version 4.1*

This app is as worthless as Colorado government
Learn from Oregon’s trip check

### 1/5 — Doesn’t update with CDot or police road closures

*2019-12-28, version 4.1*

We almost got stuck trying to cross the mountains after Thanksgiving using this app. It didn’t show any of the road closures that were occurring. A friendly police officer stopped to help us figure things out and told us to use the CoTrips.org website instead. He hadn’t even heard of the app and it was apparent the app wasn’t updating with current information which is dangerous when crossing the mountains in the winter.

### 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!

### 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

### 1/5 — Clunky pia

*2023-02-15, version 5.3*

Not as effective as other 511 type apps but leave it to Colorado to charge people to use the same app that’s free in most surrounding states

### 1/5 — Credit card required

*2022-12-19, version 5.2*

If the app is free to use why do you want my credit card information? And if it’s not free then why does it that it is? Better yet, why would you charge people to see road conditions in your state? Don’t you want people to be safe on your roadways?

### 1/5 — Too pricey

*2022-10-28, version 5.2*

If it’s free why do I have to provide a credit card number?

### 5/5 — Works on my I12 ph.

*2022-01-06, version 4.8*

Great app. 
Always check it/Hwy. cameras over the passes and weather forecast before venturing out in winter time in CO.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-01-03, version 4.8*

This app is fantastic for traveling Colorado. See road conditions before you go! Lots of cameras and video that show what is actually happening. Refresh button to get most current information.Thank you!

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2018-12-31, version 3.6*

A lot of cameras and good photos. Makes planning a ski trip much easier!  Any chance you will make a windows based app as well??

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-12-17, version 3.5*

Provides all the travel-related info I need together in one place. And provides it seamlessly, rapidly and reliably. Would be great to get a weather forecast for selected map points...

### 5/5 — Fantastic Developer

*2016-12-04, version 3.5*

Works great!
The app is just what I expected and wanted!

There was a slight glitch in the app causing me a little problem. I informed the developer via the in app feedback. He immediately responded and fixed the problem, and kept me informed during the process. Ya' just can't ask for better service!

As for the app: I truly enjoy it and rely on it for traveling information. The road cams are  a necessity for me during winter travel and help me decide when to travel.  The historical markers are fun to read and contain photos of the sites. So, "arm chair" traveling is also fun. I fully recommend the app, and, no, I don't know the developer, nor am I anything other than just an app user.

### 5/5 — The Best Colorado Traveler App

*2016-02-23, version 3.3*

You can't beat this app for it's amazing functionality and ease-of-use. Trust me I've tried many apps and websites for Colorado WebCams and road conditions and this one beats them all.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed.

*2016-01-14, version 3.3*

Works as advertised, much easier to use than the official Colorado site on my iPad.

### 5/5 — Best app for road conditions in CO

*2015-11-11, version 3.2*

This app is great! I really appreciate that it shows road conditions and CDOT cameras. These are what I really need to know how long it's going to take me to commute from Denver down to the Springs. This is the best app I've found for figuring out how safe or frustrating my drive might be. I totally recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-03-29, version 3.1*

I use this more then I use the CDOT app. Everything you need is right there  it's fast and user friendly.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-02-03, version 3.0*

Very good up to the minute info on Ramos conditions.
