## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — ILLINOIS sucks

*2026-03-16*

App isn’t useful at all. Your better off just driving on the roads to find out the conditions

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2025-12-19*

This app doesn’t do anything it’s just a money grab and scam

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2025-10-08*

Very few cameras works, majority are off for repairs, doesn’t worth the money, better find different app to check traffic and weather conditions!

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2025-03-16*

Took less then. Min to determin its not what i thought it would be. Iowas 511 immidiately pops up a road conditions map. This is NOT the same and charges. IOWAS IS FREE

### 1/5 — What about the rest of the state?

*2025-02-13*

Why can’t we have an ILLINOIS road conditions page, not just 1/6th of the state’s still images? You do know there’s more to Illinois, right?

### 1/5 — Not as good as they made it seem

*2024-08-11*

Can’t really look at any cameras

### 1/5 — No video footage

*2024-02-17*

The cameras are snapshots not videos. The photos aren’t updated instantly. Some are from a year ago.

### 1/5 — Too hard to use!

*2024-01-13*

We were traveling through Illinois on our way to Florida. I wanted to use 511 to ensure our safe travel during these winter storms. I could not figure the app out so I’m deleting it. I would put a major city in and there would be no cameras available. It would be nice if they configure this app to be the same as Minnesota and Iowa so at a glance I can tell where it’s safe to drive or not.

### 1/5 — Why just cameras?

*2024-01-09*

The cameras are cool and all but why not show traffic, construction, weather closures, etc?

### 2/5 — Great layout, little viewing options

*2025-11-10*

I was so excited that I downloaded this paid app. Worth the few bucks for the convenience. 
However, very few cameras close to my commute even worked. I’m not sure how constantly broken down they get, but I was very disappointed.

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2025-03-07*

The app allows users to research their routes without getting on the road and later wishing they had stayed home. It’s better to stay in place than to drive into a blizzard any day.

### 5/5 — This is awesome!

*2023-04-10*

Love this app!  Helps monitor weather at certain intersections along my route and I can see if there are any delays with construction season coming up. Glad I found it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!

### 5/5 — Download it

*2023-04-03*

Interface is easy with a scrolling map and easy adds to specific routes. Make one for the trip to grandma’s house, one for your commute, one for your area during inclement weather so you can prepare for your ride to Taco Bell.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!!!

### 3/5 — Confused

*2024-01-09*

I just want to see a map of road conditions with a legend. This is confusing

### 2/5 — Little work

*2024-04-22*

It would be a lot better if they cameras were live video feeds instead of just photos of the area most of the other apps that go by like 511 then the state have live video camera feeds
