### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-12-15, version 5.0.0*

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

### 2/5 — Cameras Never Work

*2022-03-22, version 4.8.6*

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

### 2/5 — Legend Needs Updated

*2022-01-14, version 4.8.2*

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

### 2/5 — Legend

*2022-01-14, version 4.8.2*

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

### 2/5 — Legend needs to be updated

*2021-12-31, version 4.8.2*

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.

### 3/5 — Need updating and camera links need to work

*2021-12-28, version 4.8.2*

This app is out of date compared to the online addition that I can access on my computer.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.

### 3/5 — Helpful but needs real-time info

*2020-01-22, version 4.5.6*

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.

### 2/5 — Nice app but

*2014-12-27, version 3.1.3*

The app works good, except the road conditions are not updated frequently.  In snow and ice conditions the roads can change 12 to 18 hour old conditions are useless!  The other thing is the side arrows don't follow the road you have selected making it difficult to use.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — not even close

*2026-06-10, version 5.8.96*

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.

### 1/5 — Complaint

*2025-08-16, version 5.8.28*

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.

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2023-02-01, version 5.0.1*

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

### 1/5 — App is out of date

*2023-01-18, version 5.0.1*

Cams don’t work and not very user friendly

### 1/5 — Terrible app!

*2021-03-16, version 4.7.11*

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!

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2019-03-09, version 4.2.8*

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?

### 1/5 — Sorely in need of an update

*2019-02-25, version 4.2.8*

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.

### 1/5 — Cameras unavailable

*2019-02-24, version 4.2.8*

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

### 2/5 — No rest areas

*2026-03-01, version 5.8.73*

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.

### 2/5 — Frustrating / Dangerous

*2025-11-29, version 5.8.47*

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.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great thing from roads department

*2017-01-16, version 4.0.6*

This app so good to have and check road status before leaving home, specially winter time :)

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-12-16, version 3.1.3*

Most useful app I've ever down loaded

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2014-11-17, version 3.1.3*

Great app to take on the road for a non driver to keep current with weather, and road conditions

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2014-11-16, version 3.1.3*

I'm so happy there is finally an app for road conditions. I've used the website for years but it was difficult to use it on a phone. This is great! I travel quite a bit and it's nice to know there is up to date info I can check.

### 4/5 — Works pretty well most of the time.

*2019-12-14, version 4.5.6*

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.

### 4/5 — Camera Unavailable

*2019-02-20, version 4.2.8*

What’s the point of this feature if 90% of the time, it’s unavailable?

### 4/5 — Great info

*2016-07-12, version 4.0.6*

I rely on this app frequently since I travel between Lincoln and North Platte throughout the year. Road conditions are accurate and I like using the cameras. I just wish it had rest area locations on the map!

### 4/5 — Really good app

*2016-06-25, version 4.0.6*

This is a really good app it has everything for a Nebraska road trip but I wish they had the road signs like what Iowa has and it tells us what it says. The traffic is real and the cameras are really cool. 
Thank you

### 3/5 — Update

*2024-12-15, version 5.0.4*

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

### 3/5 — Please update

*2022-01-15, version 4.8.2*

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