### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-06-01, version 1.9.45*

Terrible app. No obvious legend for map. Too hard to navigate site. A total waste of time.

### 1/5 — Misleading road information during disasters

*2026-03-10*

During disasters when road conditions change quickly, the app does not seem to update frequently enough to reflect what is actually happening.

When entering a destination, it sometimes shows routes as clear even when roads are closed or impacted. Because of this, I no longer rely on the app, even though emergency services recommend it during disasters.

I’ve personally found Google Maps to be more reliable, as users can report road closures and hazards in real time. I can also find flood cameras and other useful information through other apps.

Unfortunately, this app has become mostly useless for me. It feels very clunky and outdated, almost like it’s running on software from 20 years ago. I wish government agencies would reconsider recommending an app that can be misleading during emergencies.

This app has potential, but it needs major improvements to its reliability, update speed, and overall usability.

### 1/5 — Always Refreshing

*2025-11-02*

The app gets annoying sometimes because it’s always refreshing every 3 secs. Also when things have happened like floods, vehicle accidents and so on the app doesn’t need to be updated every 3 secs due to long delays. How about every 10mins as people normally find out before the app finishes there 2000th update when a road opens to 4WD only and then conventional vehicles etc.

### 1/5 — Old

*2025-05-30, version 1.9.42*

If you are looking for old information about road closures or crashes this is the spot. There’s no current information on this site it’s next to useless.

### 1/5 — What is the point of this app???

*2025-05-24, version 1.9.42*

This app doesn’t do anything at all. Doesn’t show you anything. It is useless? I don’t understand the point. Most pointless app I’ve ever downloaded. Does Not Show Rest Areas Either.

### 1/5 — Too slow with the information

*2025-03-31*

Very quick to put up road closures on the app, extremely slow at putting them down. The information during flooding events is far too slowly updated. A review by another user from three years ago says the same thing and the developer has stated it is a top priority to be fixed. This has clearly not been the case

### 3/5 — Urban Use Ok

*2025-03-30, version 1.9.30*

The map becomes very cluttered if zoomed out to view a large area when traveling out west

### 1/5 — Slow to update

*2025-03-30*

Difficult to navigate, the filter function is virtually useless. Important information about road closures is sometimes days old and inaccurate. People are better off joining a Facebook page for real time updates.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-25, version 1.9.30*

Hey Admin, do you even check user reviews? This app is a complete rubbsh—its design, functionality, and features are all a mess. Who on earth did you hire to build this train wreck?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-03-09, version 1.9.30*

Trying to use for cyclone and it’s useless. No flood icon.
