Overcrowded all

Very difficult to see road conditions which is the very reason that consumers obtain this app.

Start up

Today is my first day in the app, and so far I don’t like it!
There are no clear directions or instructions!

Cool App!

Those with the negative reviews don’t know how to use the app.
Go to the “Layers” in the bottom right corner and turn on Snowplows and Weather Stations and you can see the actual road conditions in real time.
Sweet!

Useful App

I see many bad reviews, yet it serves my family WELL to check the LIVE ROAD CONDITIONS during snow falls to check plow locations.

Do Not Rely on Road Conditions

I primarily downloaded this app for winter driving conditions. However, the accuracy of the winter driving conditions is abysmal, particularly in greater Minnesota. It’s a shame that this is the case, as the app otherwise has great features.
