Clunky

This app has the potential to be great but is mediocre at best. You’re better off just using the website.

It keeps telling me there’s a new version available even though I’ve updated it and the alert box keeps popping up. The alert banner at the top covers up the map layer selection button. When you look at a camera, it is slow to go to it and then forgets you want to see the camera layer and you have to reselect it each time.

I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and continue having the same issues.

Update is nearly unusable

Used to be functional and easy to use at a glance (like on the side of the road making route decisions.) Now it’s so busy it’s like playing a video game. Takes twice as many taps to do anything. Simple was better for this app.

Has potential

This version of the app has two major problems. 1) The sidebar bar menu can’t be collapsed on my iPad. This is because the permanent top bar covers up the toggle. This huge sidebar severely shrinks the map size. This is the case no matter which direction I orient the iPad. Get rid of the red alert banner at the top of the app, it covers up the need items. Or have a way for the user to get rid of it. 2) Even when logged into my account, I can’t save my layers selections. Every time I use the app I have to reset the layers to my favorites so I can see the ones that I prefer on the map. This is such a waste of time and very annoying have to do this every time I use the app. If there is a way to save the layers, it is not obvious.
Developers should take more care in testing new releases of the app before releasing new versions. Older versions were more user friendly.

Unsafe!

Keep the app simple; like it was 2 years ago. Now it is so complicated that it will surely cause accidents. No longer can you choose your settings and let it run in the background during a trip. Now it resets itself and I spend 5 minutes trying to wade through thousands of options to simply see what I was looking at before. Ridiculously complicated to use while driving.
Another CDOT failure!
This is not an app people use sitting on the couch at home, this is intended to be used while driving, why would you make it so complicated to use when someone is driving. Seriously Dangerous App!!

Update is Terrible

Please revert back to the old app. This updated version is impossible to navigate, difficult to use, oversized fonts and images, it’s just awful. I use this app religiously in the high country where I live, PLEASE FIX IT BEFORE WINTER

New Update is Massive Downgrade

The functionality of this app, with the new update, makes it almost unusable. Layers don’t remember, closing camera resets view. It’s incredibly noisy. I don’t know who approved this.

Giant bar covering whole app

Why is there a giant useless menu that pops up when you do ANYTHING. No, I don’t want help. I don’t want you to change all the boxes I just checked and unchecked. I just want the freakin map!

Digressed

Swiping down doesn’t work smoothly. Doesn’t keep your layers selection. Can’t report camera problems because the keyboard covers the text box and no way to minimize the keyboard. Last version was fine. This looks dated, somewhat similar to a very old app version. Like many apps lately developers seem to be messing with things for no reason.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry for the issues you’ve experienced. The layers selection and text box issues will be fixed in the next update.

The new app sucks

The new app sucks. For some reason, an app that worked well was turned into more of the same. Deleting.

Unusable garbage since update

This app has gone from bad to unbelievably bad. First it now constantly refreshes and forgets your preferred display settings every time you change cameras. Second is the search window that constantly covers up the bottom half of the map and comes back with every refresh. I could go on but I have already wasted more of my time typing this review than a care to think about. Put the old version back up until you fix the many issues this ‘improved’ version has.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re working on fixes for these issues and plan to release an update shortly. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Upgrade is a downgrade

The recent changes include a save button, but it never saves the view that you need. Most people are going to use this app while driving and having to change many of the small radio buttons while driving is just DUMB. I even created an account in hopes that it would save my preferred view there; nope. SMFH

HEY..WAKE UP DEVELOPERS!

Get a clue! Whoever handles the updates on this app needs to be replaced. The old app was at least usable. This one is just junk.!

Bad to worse

This is the most unstable app I’ve ever used. Leave it to CDOT to make their info worse than ever. Typical government garbage. If they were a company they would be out of business!

I’ll take the old version

The old version was much better. I have to deal with this stupid search screen coming up every time I look at a camera.

Used to be a good app

This used to be a pretty good app, but this latest update is horrible… have the screen is taken up with information not worth keeping for the entire time the app is open.

Too many Karen’s giving low ratings

It gets the job done. So it needs some work. It’s free. Stop complaining

Sitting in road closure not on app

I 70 road closure not on map

Bug in new version - fixed

Error message corrected. Working fine now.

Keeps throwing an error dialog

App is nearly unusable. This was fixed a for a short period of time and now it’s back. Stop showing dialogs with error messages. That does nothing for users. When the error is thrown, check the env and see if it’s prod, if not, show dialog for devs. If it’s prod log the error and don’t show the dialog.
