not even close

All this construction in the downtown Omaha area and there’s only one marker for construction on Dodge, which is not even accurate. None of the lane closures are shown.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry the construction and lane closure information didn’t match what you were seeing. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

No rest areas

The help says to turn them on in layers. They exist in Mn and IA. I think Castle Rock forgot to add that layer for NB.

Frustrating / Dangerous

You can’t rely on the NE 511 app. When moving from layer to layer the screen freezes, only showing part of the state. The only way to correct is take the app down, then bring it back up.

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear about your experience on 511 Nebraska. If you're still experiencing issues, can you please reach out to pm@castlerockits.com to discuss in more detail? We'd love to dig in to what's happening and get this resolved for you.

Complaint

Why doesn’t the app show the map of the state. I’m logged in. Didn’t need to log in previously. Really no need to login just for public information.

Response from developer

Hi, Peavine2 - Sorry to hear that you are having troubles with the new app. You should be able to see a map and you don't need an account to access information. If you continue to have troubles loading the map, then please email us at pm@castlerockits.com with additional details to help us investigate. Are you connecting over WiFi or a cellular network? If cellular, which cellular network provider are you using? Thank you!

Update

Once again the app is behind the online version needs to be updated to receive some of the new layers and accessibilities that are online

Response from developer

Thank you for your comments. We will continue to improve the 511 system.

Needs updating

The app is messed up on iPhone 14 max pro, please fix it. Also half the time the camera feeds don’t work

Response from developer

Hi - thanks for alerting us to the problems on the iPhone 14. We are working on fixes and will publish an update as soon as we can.

App is out of date

Cams don’t work and not very user friendly

Response from developer

Hi - We’re sorry you had a negative experience. Could you please share more details to pm@castlerockits.com to help us improve our system? Thank you!

App doesn’t work

This app doesn’t work…no roads show up and it’s been like this since last winter!

Response from developer

Hi there! We are so sorry about the problems on the app. Would you send us an email at pm@castlerockits.com so we can reach out to you directly to troubleshoot this? Thank you so much.

Cameras Never Work

The cameras never work on this app, even though it’s supposed to have been updated.

Please update

We use and appreciate this app but please update. At least change the legend so we know what purple is.

Legend Needs Updated

Sure would be nice to know what the purple means. Especially when there’s a crap ton of snow. Just sayin…

Legend

Why does this AP show purple roads when purple isn’t in the legend. What does purple mean?

Legend needs to be updated

Purple is not on the in-app legend. It indicates wet roads. The legend on the website has it so there is no reason for the legend in the app not to have it.

Need updating and camera links need to work

This app is out of date compared to the online addition that I can access on my computer. The developers of this software need to put in an update. Also the cameras never work when I click on the specific one I have to click elsewhere and hope when I can find it when clicking the next bottom to view a different camera in that area. It’s sad that I’m this day and age it’s not as developed/working as it should be, especially for how important road conditions are for traveling in the rural area.

Terrible app!

I’m a trucker and drive 100,000 + miles a year mostly in Nebraska. I downloaded the app and it is terrible!!! It is more worried about if your a driver or a passenger than it actually refreshing. Always says roads are closed when actually open or vise versa!

Helpful but needs real-time info

This app would be great if the road conditions were updated anywhere close to real time. I’ve driven on roads that were marked clear on the map when they were snow and/or ice-packed and vice versa. I live in a rural area and commute to Lincoln for work. It would be nice if this contained info that was more than semi-reliable.

Works pretty well most of the time.

I wish they’d add the plow tracker to the 511 app so I didn’t have to go to a separate website for that information.

What happened?

I have been trying to check road conditions over the past few weeks and no images load. Why did this stop working and why is there no update available to fix it?

Sorely in need of an update

Did they stop supporting this app?
- Not supported for the last two years of new iPhone screen sizes
- Needs a drastic UI overall
- No option to see plow info in the app, unlike the desktop website
- Should be updated for the latest Swift version as well for better performance.

Cameras unavailable

Whats the point if the app doesn’t work. Worst storm of the year and nothing. No cameras available really.
