It’s very helpful

It’s helpful in the winter especially but recently when I go to the cameras I can’t get it to toggle to another angle

Let ME decide what info I want on map!!!

This app is so annoying. Every time I open the app it shows everything. I do NOT need to see ports of entry, weather stuff etc. I change the settings and it goes right back to showing it all!!!! Fix It!!!!

Can’t shut off

App provides good road info but legend can’t be viewed at the same time you are viewing map. Can’t figure out a way to turn off from running all the time in the background. So far the only method is to reboot phone to turn off.

Battery Eater

Don’t leave it open or it will eat your batter faster than Cookie Monster can go through a bag of chips ahoy.

The 17+ rating needs to change

The app is rated 17+, but that rating is normally reserved for apps with adult content. If an adult wants to limit their teen’s access to such apps, they also have to limit the teen’s access to this app. This app should be rated 12+.

Terrible road reporting

The problem with the app is it doesn’t show the correct road conditions most of the time and at night time they stop updating it. Anyone who drives at night cannot rely on this app.

Again it’s been raining and snowing in areas and this app still showing dry. The update every 30 minutes is a lie

Disappointed

Not impressed. Surrounding states have better unfortunately. Did not seem intuitive at all.

Usability Greatly improved with latest updates

When I first got the app a while ago it was handy but clunky to use. Now that they have updated the interface and made the map key easy to access I can’t complain how easy and accurate it is.

Took a poorly designed website and made it worse.

This is a bad app that has to many options. To confusing and does not work well on a phone.

The website it is based on is not as confusing. I am so glad tax dollars are used to make poor products.

Horrible

The updated app is awful. Not user friendly at all. Can’t read all of the road reports when you click on a road. Can pull it up but not far enough to read everything. When I let go, it goes back to the beginning so I can’t see all the segments of a particular road.

Disimproved

The 511 app went from being easy to use, to basically unusable. The easy to use list of road condition cameras was replaced by a confusing menu.

Complete junk!

This app is barely usable. Other states (Wyoming, Montana) 511 app are so much better. Please check them out and make South Dakota’s app more like those.

Incomplete

This should not be difficult, c’mon SD. App had road conditions on map but good luck trying to figure out what they mean. No legend!! Leave it to government. Do yourself a favor and skip the app go straight to the website!!

Needs work but better than nothing

Quits when trying to access maps IA much better app

Overall decent app

Current version doesn’t display highways or camera names in their respective screens when in dark mode on iOS.

Better than nothing

Map is awful to use. Route is only slightly better to get info. Surrounding states all have better and more easily viewable and usable apps. Only reason for one star is because it does allow a quick route view summary. Otherwise it’s terrible. Please, please, please.... link up with surrounding states and get what they have and use. Could be so much better.

Notifications.

I like the fact that you don’t have to dial the number to check road conditions. The voiceover reads every details just as you hear on the phone. However I would recommend if you could have notifications on changes like if no travel alerts. Send notifications on the road conditions when winter weather hits the area or when road constructions are going on in any area near our locations. I would like to get the information without opening the app.

Not compatible with dark mode.

Please make app compatible with dark mode. (Road conditions and road cameras)

Pretty sad

Absolutely horrific. Look at how surrounding states (like ND) does theirs and make improvements so it’s easier to use.

Take note

Please take note at wydots app. Works with dark mode and the legend is much easier to understand/access.
