Unusable

App doesn’t display road conditions, only says “no report” for every road across the state.

Its stupid!

its stupid ,Idaho spent good money for this?

Nonfunctional

So disappointing! Have not been able to sign in to the app. No option available for notifications. Cameras and weather reports are helpful. Cannot recommend.

Useless in my opinion

I’m staring at a giant highway closure that everyone knew about but me and Idaho 511. Extremely inconvenient as we are in a motor home towing a car and can’t back up. There’s construction near my home that has been going on for 4 months. The app shows no delay, no need for the detour.

Very helpful app. Appears to be well thought out and is reasonably accurate. We do a lot of traveling around Idaho panhandle and rod conditions vary greatly, so use this info all winter. A great free solution.
