Wonderful, when it works

When the app doesn’t crash the moment you open it, it’s a game changer when I’m trying to get around Hampton Roads. However, 90% of the time, it won’t open long enough to be helpful.

Won’t stay lit

App instantly crashes upon opening. Current iOS and app versions.

Camera problems

There are cameras that don’t work like the one near my house river road and 73rd Street in Newport News va. Please fix it along with the other ones. That’s why a one star review

Issues

Shuts down before it completely loads

App locks up iPad iOS version 26

Forces a reboot. Will not open. New issue.

Unusable

The app crashes immediately when you open it. Not the first time this has been an issue. Please fix.

Decent 511 App

I never had any issues with this app from my experience. The app is most useful for viewing the VA live traffic cameras and looking at the road conditions. The only change I want from this app is for the map layout to improve in someways. I think the colors for the traffic speed overlay should be bolder and more fleshed out on the map. And the heavy traffic color should change to red instead of dark red, like the way it currently appears on the map. Overall a pretty decent 511 app.

Crashes

Basically unusable. Crashes a few seconds after opening. I’ve had it for years and it worked fine until recently.

App Not user Friendly

The app is not ussr friendly and information is slow to be updated when accidents or incidents happen. Not worth downloading

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.
