It’s been about a month now and still isn’t fixed. No point in using this app if it doesn’t work anymore. ### 3/5 — Good but missing allot *2025-12-27, version 5.8.71* The app works good when it dies. Still very buggy. A lot of potential is missed. Needs a dedicated team to work on it and not just bandaid the thing. This is a critical app that should have very few flaws. ### 2/5 — Registering Impossible *2025-12-09, version 5.8.71* I tried registering but the app won’t allow me to finish registering ### 3/5 — Accident area *2025-10-27, version 5.8.47* It says there’s accidents and slow traffic but it’s free flowing. Get better at switching it when the accident clears. ### 2/5 — Future Closures Option Needed *2025-09-26, version 5.8.40* There are so many construction projects in the Twin Cities that having the option for searching future closures ( upcoming weekend, day, week ahead) is needed. ### 1/5 — Now it’s useless *2025-03-30, version 5.7.177* Just updated and doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Messages *2025-03-28, version 5.7.177* Keeps giving me messages that it can’t find notification, reports or cameras and shows nothing at all. The new update helped nothing ### 1/5 — Never updated or accurate *2025-03-23, version 5.7.177* The app is usually useless, today for example, none of the cameras are updated, pictures are from 3 days ago! There was snow overnight and it still says all roads I-94 and south are clear, which isn’t the case! ### 1/5 — Format *2025-03-17, version 5.7.177* It’s says this app or map is in the wrong format so you can’t view the road report or any other features. I need to see the road conditions as I drive to Minnesota often. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t operate well *2025-03-13, version 5.7.177* The cameras don’t work at all using the app anymore. Even when they did it took way too long for the videos to load and often the app would just crash. I want to be able to view the live stream cameras. ### 1/5 — Wrong format? *2025-03-05, version 5.7.177* I have downloaded multiple times and keep getting a message saying that it is an incorrect format. What does that mean? I’m in severe weather in MN and the new app gives me nothing. I will be deleting again since it can’t even tell me road conditions. 😒 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Overcrowded all *2026-04-02, version 5.8.77* Very difficult to see road conditions which is the very reason that consumers obtain this app. ### 1/5 — Start up *2026-03-17, version 5.8.77* Today is my first day in the app, and so far I don’t like it! There are no clear directions or instructions! ### 1/5 — Do Not Rely on Road Conditions *2026-02-07, version 5.8.71* 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. ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2026-01-22, version 5.8.71* This app is not reliable. On 1/19/26 it reported the road I take to work “travel not advised “ except the roads were fine. Today it shows normal driving conditions except the roads are icy. Sometimes the app doesn’t update and the website shows different information. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate reading *2026-01-22, version 5.8.71* It’s so unfortunate that yep it reads if roads are clear or not…. But what if doesn’t put into factor is the wind and the white out conditions that Southern MN has on a daily! ### 1/5 — Problems *2026-01-16, version 5.8.71* I used to love this app - now it’s never updated to actual road conditions - never has the weather alerts pretty much worthless - drove in white out conditions. There is zero notification of this in here. It should be no travel advised this morning. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2026-01-05, version 5.8.71* App can’t remember my password ### 1/5 — Road conditions *2025-12-29, version 5.8.71* Why don’t you show what each color means of the roads, I can’t find that legend anywhere ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work most the time *2025-11-15, version 5.8.47* Most cameras don’t work ### 1/5 — Issues *2025-09-04, version 5.8.40* I’d like to log on and see what driving conditions/traffic issues there are. It is not at all user friendly. Please just put on the map traffic backups or construction reports. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool App! *2026-03-15, version 5.8.77* 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! ### 5/5 — Useful App *2026-03-15, version 5.8.77* I see many bad reviews, yet it serves my family WELL to check the LIVE ROAD CONDITIONS during snow falls to check plow locations. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-12-28, version 5.8.71* Live time camera, plow camera views, accidents, road conditions, traffic all in one app. It’s great and have recommended to multiple people ### 5/5 — Lots of info! *2025-12-12, version 5.8.71* Great app! Well organized. Lots of information to help plan safe traveling in Minnesota. Snowplow locator was a surprise! ### 5/5 — Very informative *2025-12-10, version 5.8.71* Roadworthiness at one’s fingertips ### 5/5 — Good resource *2025-12-09, version 5.8.71* I’m happy we get access to all these cameras, thank you devs/mndot ### 5/5 — This app is my lifeline *2025-11-26, version 5.8.47* As a commuter who drives at least 400 miles a week, this app has been my go to every morning for years during the winter months. ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2025-11-25, version 5.8.47* Un aplicación de muchísima ayuda para los que tenemos la necesidad de salir a carretera aquí en Minnesota ### 5/5 — Drive *2025-05-06, version 5.8.9* Car and drive ### 5/5 — Must have app in Minnesota *2024-11-20, version 5.7.135* I look at this app every time I am about to leave in the winter. I love that I can choose what road I want to take based on how bad the snow is. They even allow you to look at the snowplow cams so you can actually see the road. You can also see the road at important intersections. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
