### 1/5 — Gov’t Run….

*2026-08-03, version 1.6*

Govt’t run….. tells you most of what you need to know.

Fb has pages by road# because these inept fool’s info is so wrong and updated rarely. It’s the only Safe way to know what lurks ahead. Certainly ahead of plows. You’re gonna be cutting your own trail.

Don’t believe anything you see on here. You’ll be putting yourself in danger.

Want to know what the roads are like in winter before leaving home? Good luck. If you leave early in the morning you’ll never have an answer and IF the plows come out it’ll be hours after you’ve arrived at your destination.

Don’t bother downloading, save room on your phone for something of value.

If I had a dollar for every time they’ve been  I’d be living like a King in a tropical paradise.

Dept of Holidays is what the locals call them. Waste of tax payers dollars. So embarrassing, I’d never let anyone know I work there if I was in that branch.

So thanks for being a disgrace and utter failure, even your fb page is useless! Keep collecting your paycheque and putting the lives of the people you’re here to serve, in danger.

There’s so many cameras all over this vast province, they’ve spent hundreds of thousands on each programmable sign they’ve put up that gives Zero road info.

“Buckle Up. Drive Safe.
That’s helpful……

It won’t be a plow, but the Karma Bus is coming for you lot.

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2026-08-03, version 1.6*

Useless

### 1/5 — What has happened??

*2026-04-16, version 1.6*

### 1/5 — disgusted

*2026-03-18, version 1.5*

im a passenger in a moving vehicle yet im not able to get highway conditions. u opperating a devalued site
xxxx

### 1/5 — Bad don’t use this

*2026-02-20, version 1.5*

This app is terrible the user interface is horrible keeps glitching out jumping to some alerts screen 
You may as well use the web site

### 1/5 — Freezing constantly

*2026-02-18, version 1.5*

Since the Colour change on roads this app is barely functional you can look at one road and then it freezes. Updates on road conditions are few and far between, They don’t update in the morning until after you are suppose to be at work.  Completely useless currently. You will have to use X to find out road conditions.

### 3/5 — Updates

*2026-02-18, version 1.5*

App needs to be updated more frequently, as well as the track my plow feature. 

I understand it’s probably hard to give frequent updates but when there’s a crazy snowstorm going on it would be nice to have updates more than every 13 hours.

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2026-02-01, version 1.5*

It does not allow you to select highway sections from the map to assess conditions. If you give it a destination, it only indicates whether there are any delays. It is not helpful at all in deciding whether to travel or if a different route should be considered. Go to the website, and don’t waste your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Update this thing ffs!

*2026-01-31, version 1.5*

Running the latest iPhone. App crashes or randomly freezes every single time.

### 1/5 — Incorrect information.

*2025-12-30, version 1.5*

My dad was driving on highway 45 during freezing rain and i was trying to check for a different route that was better driving conditions. It was freezing rain for a good while and it said all roads are bare. BLACK ICE IS A WINTER DRIVING CONDITION.
