### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2025-08-12, version 4.0.7*

Used this app when I lived in so-cal and it was great. Now I live in Dallas and every day is shows green/ no traffic on my route but is gridlock

### 3/5 — Late for work

*2025-06-14, version 4.0.7*

The app doesn’t load in the morning when I need it most before I head to work. I have 4-5 minutes before I get on the fwy if it’s clear. Otherwise I would take surface streets if I know there’s a backup on the fwy.

### 2/5 — Confusing info ➡️ unreliable

*2025-01-14*

Tapping on red diamonds to see if a freeway is open provides confusing info. It says I-405 north is closed at Skirball, but according to firsthand reports from friends as well as other sources, the freeway is actually open. I think what they mean to say is “the exit/entrance to I-405 north at Skirball is closed.”Sadly, the misleading wording makes this app unreliable, so I will delete it from my phone.

### 2/5 — Sugarless

*2024-04-23, version 4.0.7*

Crappy now.  2

### 2/5 — Use to be a 5 star app

*2024-04-08*

This use to be a five star app because it worked as it should. Several times this year the notification stop working. That’s the entire purpose of the subscription. I have been subscribing for several years now but unfortunately this may be my last year year because I no longer receive alerts. I have contacted them several times but they do not respond. On top of the notifications not working properly the customer service it not all that great with responding as well. If it did work as it should like it use too, I would give five stars but unfortunately I paid for something I am not receiving. They don’t care enough to respond back so it’s time to cut ties. It was great while it lasted.

### 2/5 — Delayed Data

*2023-09-05*

I had high hopes for this app but it disappoints on a daily basis. The cons outweigh the pros.  

Pros - it’s easy to read without a lot of clutter. In my area it’s linked in with the DOT cameras so I can often see still photos of identified hazard situations.  

Cons - the information is so delayed that the wreckers are already loading the damaged vehicles before the incident shows up on the app.  If you rely on this app to plan your route you will often be stuck.  It only shows major highways so even the delayed data is limited.

### 4/5 — Love it in SoCal! Please add CarPlay!

*2023-08-31, version 4.0.7*

This is the best nav app for real-time driving in the LA area. But though this is best, I find that I use Sygic or MagicEarth instead because they have great CarPlay integration. Add CarPlay to Sigalert and it's back to my go-to nav app.

### 3/5 — Signal Alert

*2023-06-25, version 4.0.7*

Not show details on the crash site this a bug please fix this issue.

### 4/5 — Consistently accurate, have used for years

*2022-10-19, version 4.0.7*

Only problem I run into is speed information on the HOV lanes (at least in the Los Angeles area) keep disappearing. They’ll show up for a few days to a couple weeks and then drop off again. 
Don’t know if it’s a subscription thing, or just some quirk in the software interface with I assume Caltrans.

### 4/5 — Need Carpool Lane Info Back

*2022-06-23, version 4.0.7*

Please bring back the carpool lane traffic information back.

### 4/5 — So far, so good.

*2022-06-01*

I use Waze, exclusively, for navigation. While Waze shows traffic along your route and vicinity, that's it. This app allows you to view traffic for the whole region, with current speeds and traffic cams. And you don't have to enter a route to get traffic information, accidents, construction zones, etc.
EDIT: I wish it would show the larger secondary roads that are often used by commuters to get around traffic on rte. 24, 128, 93 etc. like rte. 138

### 4/5 — Need Car Pool Lane Info Back

*2022-05-03*

I use this app everyday. It used to give speed info for the regular lanes AND the car pool lanes, but it doesn’t show speeds for the car pool lanes anymore. This is a huge issue. Please bring back car pool lane specific speed info.

### 2/5 — Needs Refresh

*2022-03-12, version 4.0.7*

This app is formatted to the old iPhone layout. Needs a refresh.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2022-01-27, version 4.0.7*

After the last iOS 15.1 update on my iPhone 6s I wrote that this app no longer will load.  App now loads, but “Try Again” message is displayed every time the app loads before the app will display!  It used to be a great app, indispensable here in the OC area of SoCal. PLEASE FIX!!!

### 3/5 — Love this app, but it stopped working yesterday

*2021-11-14, version 4.0.7*

I went to their website, but Safari won’t allow me because their certificate expired yesterday.  Coincidence the app stopped working yesterday? I really hope it gets fixed because it’s a GREAT traffic app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 10%

*2025-10-31, version 4.0.7*

Works about 10% of the time.    Useless app.

### 1/5 — Won’t work outside LA anymore

*2025-09-01, version 4.0.7*

First, it won’t work for anywhere outside of LA and second, it won’t let you create an account. Everytime you try to add a password the app closes. If I use the web and try to add a password it says: Unable to create account.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2021-11-14, version 4.0.7*

App has stopped working altogether, says there’s an error and to check my internet connection. Was doing this for a week, and would work when pressing “Try Again”, but now pressing that does absolutely nothing.

### 1/5 — Thinks I’m in LA

*2021-06-11, version 4.0.7*

Can’t get it to know I am on the bay area

### 1/5 — Will not load

*2021-04-03, version 4.0.7*

App flashes on the screen and disappears.

### 1/5 — App is broken after last IOS update

*2021-03-31, version 4.0.7*

This app is broken and will not open after last IOS update. Seems a lot of people are having this problem too. Is it going to be Fixed?? This app is very useful when deciding whether to use the Fasttrack or not. Hopefully this will be updated.

### 1/5 — This app no longer works

*2021-02-28, version 4.0.7*

No Updates in 3 yrs. so sad

### 1/5 — Please fix - doesn’t work at all anymore

*2021-02-09, version 4.0.7*

I used this app every day, multiple times a day.  It is a bummer that is hasn’t been working anymore.  
Will this be fixed?   Or should I just delete the app and move on?

### 1/5 — I cannot open the app anymore

*2021-02-09*

This used to be so easy but the app has been useless for several months now. Tap the app button and all it does is take me back to my Home Screen. Is there a reason why? Looks as if many others have the same issue as well. Can’t find anything online except that Sigalert has been revamped. Revamped yes, but I think you forgot about the app. Any reason I shouldn’t delete it?

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2021-01-22, version 4.0.7*

I am unable to open app, will this be fixed?

### 5/5 — Perfect for what it is

*2023-06-06, version 4.0.7*

If you want a quick view of your ENTIRE, traffic speeds, issues and quick highway camera views, this app is perfect.

Waze, etc. don’t give you a single screen off key things to know about your route.

This is a tool to use WITH your GPS… not replace it.

Perfect.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2021-11-15*

Hands-down my favorite app for when I travel. Gives me an instant view of traffic conditions with a helpful color coding to determine where the congestion is. I like the immediacy that the app gives you.

### 5/5 — Perfect!!!

*2021-11-03, version 4.0.7*

Sigalert, you rock!  Now don’t muck it up!

### 5/5 — It works on my Mac

*2021-08-05*

I have a new iMac with the M1 chip and this app seems to work just fine.  i have used it on my iPad for some time and happy to see it works on the iMac as well which I use for advanced planning.    However, it is much more sensitive with the pan and zoom functions but easy enough to get used to.

### 5/5 — FIVE STARS AND MORE!

*2021-05-28, version 4.0.7*

This app is essential when traveling in Los Angeles.  It’s up to date the moment there is an issue with the freeways and highways. I use it everyday and am thankful this app exists.  Thank you developers!

### 5/5 — LA to Vegas

*2020-10-12*

We use this on our phone to check freeways.  It works in many cities in different states.  It's up to the minute information and really works.  We used it to get home when the 15 freeway was shut down.

### 5/5 — Oldie but Goldie

*2020-05-17*

This app has not released an update in 3 years and yet it STILL holds better and more usable data than INRIX! I don’t like the current state of INRIX. Google Maps does a better job.  But Sig Alert isn’t a clone, it has distinctive information

### 5/5 — My Go-to for SoCal traffic

*2020-04-13*

Accurate, loads fast, has cameras you can view, and the platform is very easy to use. 

I have waze but I don’t like it. I don’t care to know about others using the app. I just want to view traffic info, that looks professional and gets to the point. Waze looks like a gaming platform and I find that cheesy.

### 5/5 — Can't understand the negative reviews.

*2018-11-03*

Use this app all the time and have never had a discordant read. Especially since you can real-time view the cameras and confirm the road conditions. Coincides well with the reports from radio or tv.

### 5/5 — Sigalert

*2018-05-04, version 4.0.7*

This is a terrific app & has saved me on multiple occasions. My daughter even calls me & asks me to check the area where she is having problems. Wouldn’t be without it.
