*2023-12-31, version 2.9.2*

Great,fabulous and helpful app to use.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work, find something else.

*2022-10-12*

Blank screen with no maps shown despite having full rights to my location all the time. Doesn’t display any delays on multiple motorways even though they are congested on all other website checks. Shame really as old reviews were good and the app could have been updated to stay that way.

### 1/5 — Traffic app

*2022-07-15*

This has not worked since I downloaded just a blank screen ????

### 1/5 — No Longer Works!

*2022-01-05*

Good app but now useless

### 2/5 — Be OK If it worked!

*2021-10-07*

It does not work and no confirmation that I paid for the extras. Very poor but could be good

### 1/5 — 👎🤬👎

*2020-12-01*

This is rubbish. I’ve put in a watch list, including a B road which it changed to an AB road! There is no way to remove it or edit it. There is never any update on the watched roads either. 
I struggle to see the point of the app.
The single star does not represent I think it’s worthy, it’s because I can’t add the review without it.

**Developer response:** The app uses data from the highways agency which provides data for M and A roads, it does not support B roads which is why the toggle switch only shows M and A, we did not foresee someone entering a B road but now you have brought this to our attention our next update will make it clear this is not supported. You can remove an entry by using the standard iOS gesture swiping the road left to reveal the delete button.

### 1/5 — Moreland Road Croydon

*2018-12-01*

No mention of roadworks causing traffic chaos!
