Glitches

After updating app traffic cameras and incidents aren’t popping up. Your update made things worse

Time Saver

Most up-to-date and in real time traffic info I’ve found!

New update needed

App is crashing with the new iOS update horrible app please fix it

Inaccurate Information

The app does not accurately show road conditions after a bad storm. Local news in Richmond is reporting numerous roads closed but app does not show road closures. Not worth downloading due to inaccuracy on VDOT’s part not updating information.

New update needed

App is crashing with the new iOS update horrible app please fix it

App needs work

Cameras good but only if you can move around on the map but getting road condition alert info during storm fern all I get is Coleman Bridge under repair. App is good during conditions you don’t need it but under storm conditions worthless except for cameras.

Useless

Can’t add my VA home or work address. Populates with odd other states. Deleted after 2 minutes. Don’t bother.

Useless

In the Hampton roads area there are multiple cameras do not work, video feed won't stream, this app is a waste of taxpayer money

App keeps crashing

After the last update, the app crashes in just a few seconds after opening.

Generally OK

Overall, I like the app. Generally speaking it's not the cleanest or easiest to use interface, but I like that information is available to the public, esp. the cameras.

One problem is the travel alerts. They are pointless because an alert to "leave by" that is in less than 10 mins or essentially "right now" does not help at all.

It would also be nice if travel routes weren't so dang "glued" to interstates.

Great App!

Been using this for years and continue to love it.

Doesn’t work

It was a great app letting me know where traffic was. Now when I click on it nothing shows up. I updated the app and it still doesn’t work when I click on it.

Continuous Tracking

Tracking set to ‘while using’. This setting is ignored. You have to clear the app from memory to get it to stop.

Location

Tracks your location no matter how you set it. You have to shut down the app to stop it.

Camera issues

The traffic cameras haven’t been functional for the past few months. The issues are on apple apps. I have no issues on an android app

What Have You Done ???

I used to be able to get on this app and see travel times between frequent destinations in a hurry. Now you give travel times between mile markers, which means nothing to me. The app is now useless.

Bluetooth notifications

Before the app update. And reverting back to the old version I was able to hear through my car radio. What was going on ahead through Bluetooth. Now I cannot hear that for some reason can you please help. Do I need to do something under settings. I cannot find it anywhere

Update Ruined It & UPDATE REVERSED!

I used to love this app & recommend it to everyone I know. I would open the 511 app before any travel. After the update, I may as well delete the app. It’s awful now. Don’t bother downloading unless they return to the previous dashboard version.

Original is back & I’m a happy camper. :)

Emergency services using app

Old app back, HOORAY. We use this app for pin pointing MVAs on interstates. Being fire engine driver fast info is priceless for route to take and knowing exact location of incident on interstates. New app was to slow with to many steps. New app had great info just poor design for basic quick use.

Thanks

Thanks for going back to the old version. Much faster to navigate and more accurate.
