## What is Traffic Alerts?

MyCommute — Never be late to work again!

Stop guessing when to leave. MyCommute watches the traffic on your regular drives and tells you exactly when to head out the door, before you're already running late.

Set up your route once: where you start, where you're going, and what time you need to arrive. Every morning you drive it, MyCommute checks live traffic and sends you a heads-up — "traffic's good, leave at 8:22" or "leave early, it's backed up today." No apps to open, no maps to check. Just the notifications that you need.

Why you'll love it
- Automatic traffic monitoring — we watch the roads so you don't have to
- Smart departure alerts — know when to leave based on today's real traffic, not yesterday's guess
- Alerts your way — pick when you want to hear from us: only when traffic's bad, or every morning
- Live Activities & widgets — your commute status right on your Lock Screen and Home Screen
- Arrive stress-free — leave the timing to us and just drive

What people are saying:

"No more scrambling to get out the door at the last minute! Highly recommend this app for anyone looking to simplify their commute!"

"The feature that allows me to input how much additional time I need to get ready and be on time to my destination is amazing! It's like having a personal assistant! I am hooked!"

"Love it! Simple and very useful. I just plug in my frequent destinations and the app lets me know if I need to leave a little earlier depending on traffic. A great tool for those of us who are chronically late"

Get started free! Add your first route and never be late again.

### 5/5 — I've been waiting for this app!

*2026-08-15, version 2.0.6*

It's very reassuring to have the alerts come in.  So far the app seems to be reliable.  I am interested in the lifetime purchase but this option does not seem to be available.  Thank you for creating this!

### 3/5 — Updated review

*2026-07-26, version 2.0.5*

It’s functional now, but still needs work. I get 14 notifications to leave by a certain time. One maybe three, not 14. 
Up to 3 stars

### 2/5 — Unable to proceed

*2026-07-20, version 2.0.3*

I have a iPhone SE (3rd gen) and when I run the app all I get is a screen listing what the app can do, but no way to leave this screen. If I had to guess, the smaller screen size of the SE does not allow me to see or access the button that would allow me to proceed. Until this is fixed I cannot use the app.

Update: After more than a year this has been “fixed”, will you honor the “free lifetime” deal that I was unable to get due to this bug?

### 1/5 — Nah

*2026-02-13, version 1.0.10*

I really needed this to work.
But I couldn’t even add a starting location for my commute so….

### 3/5 — Almost got me!

*2025-07-22*

Almost paid the $40 but apparently you can set these alerts up on the Calendar app free of charge

### 5/5 — Please improve

*2025-04-28, version 1.0.9*

Good app but stop with the two drop windows at every login.

### 5/5 — More

*2024-12-27, version 1.0.7*

Works great, could ues some more instructions on use.

### 5/5 — It does one thing…

*2024-12-12, version 1.0.7*

It does one thing - it tells you if your normal commute route has a problem. You can’t see it or check on it. You can’t even modify an alert (just delete and do a new one). But heck of it’s not the thing I always wanted Google maps to do! (I think it might have at some point actually).

So then you can double check things against other map apps. But this simple function makes it a must have for anyone who’s commute can bottle neck.

### 1/5 — ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*2024-11-23, version 1.0.6*

Does nothing. Can’t get past the opening page.

### 1/5 — SE根本点不进去，BUG啊

*2024-11-19, version 1.0.6*

首页有个按钮，se不显示，设计漏洞啊
