### 2/5 — Not showing all construction zones

*2026-05-06, version 2.5.3*

I started using this app in Dec and it worked pretty good, even showing construction zones. “Planned” areas usually have an estimated completion time, but ODOT rarely finishes by the date shown. For example, I drive through a zone on I-76 just east of Ravenna that was supposed to be done by May 1. The app showed that zone on the map up until last week and then removed it because it was supposedly finished. Well, guess what? They’re still working there, so obviously the timeframe got extended (big surprise🙄), but the app still shows that area as clear. Someone needs to either update the app to show that construction is still going on there, or make it so that we users can submit updates so that you know to update the map.

### 3/5 — Like web version better

*2026-01-11, version 2.5.3*

How can I change app background to just white like the web version? The green "earth" version is distracting

### 2/5 — Closing Camera Glitch

*2025-12-19, version 2.5.3*

The information offered in the app is great. Please fix the camera bug! When you open a camera, the X doesn’t work to close it. You have to shut the app down.

### 3/5 — Needs to be updated to work on newer iPhones

*2025-11-28, version 2.5.3*

The app needs to be updated to work on newer iPhones. The X at the top right goes off the screen and doesn’t let you tap it.

### 2/5 — Bugs still not fixed

*2025-11-11, version 2.4.1*

Still can’t create routes

### 3/5 — Could use some work

*2025-11-10, version 2.4.1*

Sometime this year, the green,orange, red color coding for traffic conditions went away. It’s still on the ODOT website, just not showing up in the app.

“App support” button doesn’t work from App Store & nowhere to report bugs or contact developer within the app.

### 1/5 — Real time traffic update stopped working

*2025-11-10, version 2.4.1*

The real time traffic update stopped working about 1-2 weeks ago and won’t show anything. This needs fixed

### 1/5 — What is going on!

*2025-11-09, version 2.4.1*

I did love this app. But now nothing is working.  Only thing that works on the app is the cameras. I even tried the website and it was a blank white screen.  App says the servers are down. When will they be back up?

### 2/5 — Can’t close cameras close out so deleting app. I have Waze and it works best for traffic conditions

*2025-10-26, version 2.4.1*

Once you go to cameras the X is in upper right corner and I can

### 1/5 — Not a good start

*2025-08-16, version 2.2.0*

Do I downloaded the app to check traffic heading into Cleveland for a concert occurring today, and OhGo servers are down.  Try again later, and later, and later..  I don’t need the app to work tomorrow.  Needs to be dependable from point of download.  Just waisted time today.

### 1/5 — Daily user. Does NOT warn about ice on road

*2025-04-07, version 2.2.0*

This is great for checking traffic cameras and automatically getting alerts for saved commutes. HOWEVER, it does NOT warn about hazardous conditions like ice on all bridges on my route. For that, I still rely on local police messaging services. It is inexcusable that there is a disconnect between local and state governments about conditions on interstates like I-480.

### 1/5 — Cameras aren’t working

*2025-02-19, version 2.2.0*

The only reason I got this app was for the cameras but I can’t seem to even get them to come up.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-01-17, version 2.2.0*

Nothing shows up in the app. No cameras, road temps, accidents, nothing. It’s just an empty map. Where are the devs and why haven’t there been app updates in over a year? What a sad waste.

### 1/5 — Not Awesome

*2025-01-06, version 2.2.0*

Road video cams showing only a frozen image making it difficult to assess flow of traffic. I also tried to set up an alert for a trip to CMH during the recent snowfall. Interface was not intuitive. App never allowed me to complete that task. Waste of time and storage. Deleting.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2024-12-06, version 2.2.0*

When creating a route it doesn’t accurately stop where you get off the highway, it goes several exits passed.  Changed the route using a different zip code but every time you click ‘didn’t get the results I was expecting’ it crashes.  I would like to be able to uncheck certain directions too, like only north and south, sometimes it includes east when I don’t go that way.  Needs to be better detailed.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-11-30, version 2.2.0*

Does not work. It crashes, of if I get an error message. Literally does not function. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2026-06-28, version 2.5.3*

A couple of years ago this app was great. In the past year and a half it does not wanna work on an iPhone.

### 1/5 — Could be helpful…

*2026-03-26, version 2.5.3*

I get notifications about my route but when I open it to see what/where there’s never anything showing. Like right this second I got a notification & nothing. I can literally see the wreck even!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-10, version 2.5.3*

I tired using the app but it doesn’t work.   I can get the map to load. Incidents traffic and camera overlays never load.  So disappointing.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-01-25, version 2.5.3*

Since this latest update the app doesn’t work at all. Whoever is in charge of this app needs to be fired.

### 1/5 — Not the greatest

*2025-12-31, version 2.5.3*

The app isn't the best, I would say the only good use is for traffic cameras, but even then, there's better options. App is always super slow and needs good WiFi to run fully. Really no point in this app besides watching traffic cameras. Would be a lot better if it had an option to view ODOT dashcam.

### 1/5 — App no longer works.

*2025-12-27, version 2.5.3*

What did you do?  I appreciated the updates of traffic issues. Now it sends me updates but shows nothing on my routes. Not sure what happened but it’s broken now and I deleted and reloaded it and still doesn’t work. I also want to delete the routes and I can’t. UUUHHHHH. Needs fixed.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked in over a month

*2025-12-14, version 2.5.3*

Use to use this app daily. I have not been able to use it in over a month. Cameras won’t load. Traffic collisions don’t load. NOTHING LOADS.  I’ve deleted and reinstalled. Made new account. Everything. Please fixxxxxxxx.

### 1/5 — This app sucks and needs improvement

*2025-12-10, version 2.5.3*

I just wanted an app to show me local and travel road conditions. This app makes me do some sort of pointless a-b trip thing and still have to manually move and zoom in to see if the roads are bad. It is not user friendly or informative.

### 1/5 — Not enough Cameras to be useful.

*2025-12-02, version 2.5.3*

What’s the point if the routes I take aren’t on a highway? It’s snowing today. I don’t take the highway but there’s no cameras showing either mine or my husbands route to work, pointless.

### 1/5 — Not working half the time

*2025-11-11, version 2.4.1*

Been 2 weeks now this app hasn’t worked. I understand intermittent outages or something. But it barely works half the time.

### 5/5 — Very helpful app!

*2026-02-23, version 2.5.3*

This app is extremely helpful and determining whether or not to head out. It gives a pretty good idea (with live cameras)of what you’re going to encounter while you’re out and about.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-10-11, version 2.4.1*

Does everything it advertised. Not perfect but good.

### 5/5 — I use this app daily!

*2025-01-24, version 2.2.0*

I love this app. I live 30mins (in no traffic) from my place of work. There is a lot of construction between my house and Columbus. This also adds to accidents. This app uses ODOT info and other app info to give you up-to-date info on why you are sitting in a parking lot on a freeway. Seriously, try googling with Siri to find out if you should reroute, stay the path, or even switch lanes. You will be lucky to find any of that. This app tells you everything you need to be on time and safe! I highly recommend this app for daily commutes and trips in Ohio.

### 5/5 — Awesome app to see live traffic!

*2025-01-08, version 2.2.0*

Great app to see the traffic conditions before heading out or leaving. And I like that you can see hazards, construction, etc on the map as well! Great work ODOT!

### 5/5 — Awesome Resource

*2024-04-06, version 2.2.0*

I don't get the bad reviews. This app is awesome. Maybe it's you?

### 5/5 — OHGO working great

*2024-01-27*

Although there have been problems with previous versions, the latest version is working perfectly on my iPhone 13. Use the cameras often to check road conditions.

### 5/5 — 2024 - Works Great

*2024-01-19, version 2.2.0*

I have had no issues with the app so far and works great!

### 5/5 — Recommended

*2022-02-04, version 2.0.2*

App works well for me and allows me to determine the condition of the roads before leaving the house

### 5/5 — Good access to the cameras on the highways

*2022-02-04*

OMG, there are so many traffic cameras!

You can select what cameras might be pertinent to you and your route and check the traffic conditions. Pretty good. I am at home doing this with excellent WiFi and suspect that these data may not work as well on my cellular connection.

The app works great, zoom, pan, etc.

### 5/5 — Working on my iPhone XR as of 2/3/22

*2022-02-03, version 2.0.1*

A lot more features than I expected!
