### 1/5 — Dead App?

*2026-05-22*

Cameras haven’t loaded for at least a year

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-01-25*

Do not waste your $1.99. This is the most unhelpful road app available.

### 1/5 — No road conditions listed.

*2023-01-30*

All the other ‘511’ apps have layers for the map so you can see road conditions throughout the state. Those apps are way better, AND, those apps are free. This app is very limited and has very few of the information that the other free apps give you.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase this app.

*2022-01-23*

It is rare that the highway cameras are available on this app. Terrible.  My hearts desire is to have my money refunded.  I gave one star because the “no stars at all” option was not working. LOL.  But seriously though- don’t waste your time purchasing.

### 1/5 — Worst app I have ever purchased.   Do not waste your money!

*2019-12-18*

Do not waste your money!  Illinois take a lesson from Missouri on how to create an app that truly helps its citizens by informing them about traffic incidents, weather and construction on for the entire road system.
