### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-04-07*

I have an iPhone 17 with the latest IOS and now does not work :(

**Developer response:** A better solution would have been to contact support to resolve your issue.

### 2/5 — MT

*2026-02-04*

I gave it 2 stars because I, can’t seem to find the instructions.

**Developer response:** Instructions? I guess you don't ever use mobile apps. We designed the interface to be intuitive, but if you have no experience with mobile apps, your best bet is to contact to support for some quick usage guidelines.

### 3/5 — Not happy with the “update”

*2026-02-02*

Just opened that app today to see it had been updated but the quick-glance usability SUCKS. For one, I’m not a fan of the green satellite type view. I like a plain, boring map and I would prefer if it actually showed me the red/orange/yellow/green coloring for all speed references so I can see if traffic is moving at a normal pace or if I need to plan extra time. When you only show the areas with slower traffic, it doesn’t really give me a good visual reference.

**Developer response:** Sorry you are unable to adjust to the new approach to the traffic overlay. Please keep trying and I believe you will find the cleaner display of data more to your liking. After all, you only care if the road is not flowing well, right? So that's where the focus is and those colors are not lost in a sea of green roads.

### 1/5 — Don't use if you need the UP (11/2025)

*2025-11-26*

I needed to see western UP road conditions during a horrible snowstorm. Even though I knew the conditions were bad this app didn't show anything in the west.

**Developer response:** Not sure what you mean, but the app fully supports the UP.

### 1/5 — Lane closures

*2025-07-18*

How do I find lane closures?

**Developer response:** The best way to get answers to questions about the app is to the use the send feedback function on the settings tab. But to answer your question, there are two ways to see lane closures. You can turn on the traffic overlay, which shows where roads are closed. You can also turn on alerts, to see closures.

### 5/5 — Water-Winter Wonderland

*2025-01-14*

This app answers all of the questions that any traveling person needs to be safe in their traversing of the Great Lake State.

### 5/5 — Many thanks!

*2024-12-24*

I’m learning so much about my home state! This app is making me a more mindful person as I wander around the nicest little city in the world, Rogers City.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.3 — 2026-08-17

This release has the following changes:

• added support for rectangular map pins, which is useful for certain data layers
• map settings now provides a sample map so you can see immediately what each setting does
• fixed a bug where popup windows were blank when running the app in dark mode

### 3.2 — 2026-06-21

This version fixes some minor bugs and reorganizes some of the code for performance and stability. We also moved the map's legend into the layer menu. We hope you find this to be a cleaner and more useful update.

### 3.1 — 2026-02-16

This version provides a couple fixes for these bugs:

* for small devices, the layout wasn't fitting entirely
* removed the All States tab from the bookmarks tab; this is only for US Traveler
* the traffic overlay should not show up in the filter tab

### 3.0 — 2026-01-30

This version is a complete rewrite to get in sync with its "mother" app, US Traveler. With this app, you'll find these changes:

* uses Apple Maps instead of Google Maps
* UI rewrite
* Using a new server, resulting in more and higher quality data
* You can now rotate your device on the image galleries to see larger images

### 2.1 — 2023-01-30

This minor release fixes these issues:

1. The highway labels disappeared when we upgraded the underlying map technology. This fix brings the labels back
2. We renamed the "Filter" tab back to "Legend". You can still filter the pins you see, but we felt the purpose of it is mainly as a legend, so we renamed it back.
