### 5/5 — Great features

*2021-02-04, version 3.0*

I love this app.  It is a lot easier to view traffic cams here than through the MNDOT website.  It also was very helpful during a storm this winter when I could see what the highway alert boards were saying 100 miles ahead of us on I-94.

### 1/5 — In app feedback doesn’t work. Nor does text when using dark mode.

*2020-01-03, version 2.0*

The app updated and now dark mode shows the wrong text colors and the in app feedback doesn’t work to even report it.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2019-12-29, version 1.2*

Not a good app. SO PLEASE DO NOT BUY!!😠😠😡

### 5/5 — Prompt Updates

*2019-02-27, version 1.1*

This is a great app to use while traveling, especially in the winter.  Updates are made very quickly in response to any reported issues.

### 1/5 — Spam generator

*2018-05-10, version 1.0*

Signing up for RedAlerts will deliver a ton of spam to your inbox. Avoid this app at all cost!

**Developer response:** I have no idea what "RedAlerts" is, but it is NOT part of this app. This app does not send anything to your email.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.1 — 2023-01-29

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.

### 4.0 — 2022-10-27

We've made many changes on both the backend and the frontend of the app:

• All layers are now free of charge
• The Cameras layer now supports both still and video cameras
• You can change the map style to one of several options. Access from the Settings tab
• The Legend has been renamed to Filter. It still provides legend information, but you can also filter out certain markers you don't want to see
• New pins for most data layers
• Some high-volume markers are only visible at certain zoom levels. Turning on historical markers, for instance, may not display them immediately because there are too many. You need to zoom in to see them
• The refresh button has been moved from the Layers menu to a button right on the map, in the upper left corner
• Cleaned up the UI on the Search tab

### 3.1 — 2021-09-10

This is a mandatory update due to the old server going out of commission in mid-September. Please update; the old versions will stop working.

### 3.0 — 2020-10-26

This release makes available video streaming cameras. These cameras have a different icon on the map; check them out!

Also, we've fixed a few bugs and made some interface enhancements. Most notably:

• The app now supports you dark mode users. Not that the app itself goes into dark mode, but it will no longer hide certain elements when you are in dark mode
• The free trial screen has several improvements. Do you know you can get a full 24-hour free trial for the historical markers and snow plow overlay? Try it our risk free

### 2.0 — 2020-01-02

It has been almost a year in the making: Minnesota Traveler has been rewritten from the ground up. Not only will you find a shiny new interface, but there are few new features. Here are the details:

• Side menu has been replaced with tabs and smaller menus
• New color theme, plus you can change it
• Now you can get free trials for any in-app purchase features
• Search! Now you can search for roads, towns, or most any place on a map
• Some layers have a legend, so you know what the colors and icons mean
• Weather stations now display the current temperature and are color-coded
• Weather station details show any nearby cameras
• Added rest areas
• Truck reports is now a free layer
• Some alerts now affected road section and optional detours
• Only the signboards that currently have text on them are displayed on the map
