### 1/5 — Needs updated

*2025-12-02, version 3.9.0*

App doesn’t work and is perpetually stuck “syncing “

### 1/5 — Non-stop SYNC

*2025-12-02, version 3.9.0*

It's broken

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-11-30, version 3.9.0*

It is stuck in syncing mode. Completely useless now.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2025-11-29, version 3.9.0*

This app has been my go to for YEARS but I just downloaded it again for the winter season and it’s no longer working on my iPhone. Says “syncing” but never syncs. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Eternal sync

*2025-11-07, version 3.9.0*

I have used this app for years and loved it. During one of my recent iPhone updates it disappeared. I downloaded it again, but it doesn’t work anymore. There is a setup screen with three on/off switches. Nothing is showing other than the three switches. Turning them on doesn’t display whatever you just turned on. Then the app goes into an eternal “syncing” mode. It never stops or comes out of the syncing mode. I tried letting it sync for over four hours. Still syncing.

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2025-06-06, version 3.9.0*

After installing, app won’t load any further, “syncing” shows on the screen but never progresses.

### 1/5 — Modot

*2025-04-01, version 3.9.0*

Non functional freeze up when you try to view camera

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2025-02-05, version 3.8.0*

None of the KC area cameras work at all, and updated info isn’t the greatest. Whoever is charge of the KC area district cameras needs to be FIRED.

### 1/5 — Absolutely Abysmal

*2025-01-05, version 3.8.0*

This is the worst designed State Department of Transportation app I have ever used. Out of all 50 states, this one is last place. It's also funny because Missouri roads are some of the worst roads to drive on. Maybe MODOT just doesn't have the resources (which I find very hard to believe)?

Either way, it should be illegal for a state funded app to be this useless.

Horrendous UI/UX, everything is slow, camera feed is non-existent and nothing feels native.

No native libraries or kits were used in the development of this app. The entire layout looks and functions like someone lied on their resume.

No care whatsoever was put into this app. None.

It is so bad, that I actually would have preferred it to not exist in the first place.

MODOT should be unequivocally ashamed of itself for putting such an app into the hands of its tax payers.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-01-04, version 3.8.0*

It used to be so easy to use and now non of the Cameras work. They are all greyed out. I used WIFI and data. I also deleted the app and reinstalled and restarted my phone. FIX YOUR APP!!!!!

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2024-12-09, version 3.8.0*

This app is terrible! It freezes up non stop.  You are better off watching the news!

### 1/5 — Awesome in theory, terrible in practice

*2024-11-05, version 3.8.0*

Like everything involving the government, this app is ungodly slow and borderline useless much of the time. It takes forever to load and even when it does, half of the time it freezes and crashes

### 2/5 — Great app in the summer

*2024-10-29, version 3.8.0*

This app is great… until they switch it to open “winter conditions” first in October. When that happens it takes 5+ minutes to load up. Today it’s 85° out and it still has to open the winter conditions first. Wish they would change it to always open “traffic conditions” first and let us change in the menu if we want to see winter conditions.

### 2/5 — To slow

*2024-10-15, version 3.8.0*

After you open the app and go to turn on the camera option it take 3-5 minutes to open then after you click traffic cameras it takes another couple minutes for it to go back to the map. If it weren’t for that it would be a great app.
App was working good for awhile and has now started freezing up and going slow again.

### 1/5 — Great app… when cameras are working

*2024-07-09, version 3.8.0*

The cameras are what make this app particularly unique to other apps… and are the main reason why I access this app. 

BUT… all metro St. Louis cameras have been off-line the last few times I tried viewing them. I did see a message indicating that the metro KC cameras have been off-line for several weeks, but nothing about St. Louis.

If I get a response explaining the root cause of the outage, along with the steps you’re taking to avoid this from happening in the future, I’ll gladly change my rating.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-05-24, version 3.8.0*

This map literally shows nothing

*2026-01-26, version 3.9.0*

Noting but Sync message

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-01-26, version 3.9.0*

App is currently broken for newer iOS updates. Pops up with a syncing notification and then never updates.

### 1/5 — App Broken

*2026-01-25, version 3.9.0*

I loved this app on Android.  Downloaded it on my new phone and it is stuck trying to sync FOREVER.  Hopefully this will get an update soon.

### 1/5 — Hello is anyone fixing this!

*2026-01-24, version 3.9.0*

App was gold now it just a sync wallpaper. I relied on this app for a few things, can we please get it nsync before I get lost on the Backstreet Boys!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-01-17, version 3.9.0*

Downloaded the app and went to the map, it never opened. It was stuck on the Syncing message. I tried redownloading it, same thing.

### 1/5 — Never ending sync

*2025-12-29, version 3.9.0*

It just says syncing and does nothing

### 1/5 — Syncing but never loading

*2025-12-29, version 3.9.0*

The app doesn’t fully work anymore… it perpetually tries to sync making it impossible to use.

### 1/5 — What Eternal Sync said

*2025-12-06, version 3.9.0*

I have done everything imaginable to make this app work, but I have given up and deleted it completely.  Frozen spin is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE

*2025-12-03, version 3.9.0*

I updated my iPhone and now it stays on a screen that says syncing data, and it never leaves.

### 5/5 — It’s so helpful

*2026-01-24, version 3.9.0*

I’m glad to have this app as it does help show me what roads are like before I start my car. Thanks

### 5/5 — Excellent resource for commuters

*2025-05-20, version 3.9.0*

Not perfect but pretty good for free!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-01-06, version 3.8.0*

Thank you for clearing the roads and letting me drive on clear roads to pick up my son from the hospital

### 5/5 — Fantastic Traveler Map

*2025-01-05, version 3.8.0*

MoDOT did an excellent job with this app. The information and data (especially access to the traffic cameras) pales in comparison to any of the surrounding states traveler maps. Don't get me wrong the app does have a couple of quirks but it's leagues better than our neighboring states transportation apps. This is a must have app if you're a resident or just passing through Missouri!

### 5/5 — Great app (with one improvement request)

*2022-07-05, version 3.6.1*

I live in Columbia and regularly travel to KC and StL. This is my go to mall for quickly seeing if I am going to encounter any delays on I-70. There is one improvement that I would really like to see - have the app remember my last view. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Awesome app and smart idea

*2022-02-24*

Glad MoDOT had this application created & appreciate you guys allowing us to have real time feed of the roads. I use it almost daily for rush hour traffic & accidents for the commute to work & weather conditions. After several years of using this app, can’t say I’ve ever had any issues with it. Seems like a lot of Missourians are unaware this app exists. MoDOT should consider advertising it more, I’ve recommended this app to several people I know and they had no idea it existed and have started it use it as well and think it’s awesome an application like this exists.

### 5/5 — Great for winter weather

*2022-02-23*

Love this app! So helpful when you are needing to know road conditions to make winter driving decisions. I let me teens drive if the roads are light blue. Also helpful that you can look at the traffic cameras and actually see what the roads  look like. App updates on the hour. My go to for winter weather for many years.

### 5/5 — Cameras

*2022-02-02, version 3.6.1*

It’s nice to see what is happening on the roads with the cameras!

### 5/5 — Menu issue fixed

*2019-02-16, version 3.5.2*

App works as it should now. Thanks for the update!

### 5/5 — Suggestion for the future

*2018-04-26, version 3.3.1*

Very good app. I just wish the app had the mile marker info like the full website does. Otherwise it is perfect.
