Don’t bother

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

Misleading road information during disasters

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 It feels very clunky and outdated, almost like it’s running on software from 20 years ago.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.

Always Refreshing

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.

Old

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.

What is the point of this app???

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.

Too slow with the information

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

Urban Use Ok

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

Slow to update

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.

Terrible

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?

Useless

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

Needs flood camera

Love using the website as it shows the flood cameras on the bridges. Was hoping that the app would also show feature this but it doesn’t.

Must be government run

Completely useless
Google maps atleast gives you an indication of potential Rd closures

Typical government funded lemon

Yay for government

Virtually Useless

Information is not updated quickly enough, while old information is still on the site. It is virtually useless if you are trying to navigate your way around traffic congestion.

Mackay/Whitsunday Traffic/Flood Cameras

Still no flood cameras for Mackay/Whitsunday Region. What is going on TMR? Apparently nothing :( poor response from TMR blaming “remoteness” what the? The cameras along the Bruce Highway near Proserpine like Myrtle Creek and Goorganga Plains etc are not remote and are near mobile towers. Where did you install the other cameras? Llanarth? Seriously TMR Mackay is the worst district to live in, they are terrible compared to other districts.

Accuracy is not timely. No regular updates

To be useful, this information needs to be as close to ‘real time’ as practical. One example that affects me is the roads around Thargomindah and Yowah areas are still shown as closed or 4WD only which was the situation October 2022 - that’s 20 months ago.

Bad app

Pity queensland did not purchase an app from the developer who made the NSW app , at least it would have been useable then.

Please! Please! Please update!

This app is basically useless as it is not updating as to what roads are NOT open during the last few days/weeks of flooding! If it’s flooded, forget it we are being told Ad nauseam but if you updated what roads are flooded sensible people would either avoid the flooded areas or stay home! Sorry but you are not encouraging people to act/drive safely at all!!!

No current information

30/01/2024: Went to Check the app with all the rain we are having and all I get is flood information from 2022. When is the last time this was updated? This is of no value whatsoever.

Hasn’t been updated since 2022…

Current flooding road closures are not in the app. Most recent is October 2022, which doesn’t exactly help anyone given the current situation. Will the app be updated any time soon?

Useless !

Totally useless app ! It does not synchronise with the data presented on their website, which is also out of date and meaningless. I'm deleting it.
