Miss the Traffic info

I really miss the traffic info that was on the app prior to the most recent update. I used it almost daily. It was so helpful planning my route in Indianapolis. Please consider bringing it back.

Notifications

There NEEDS to be more control over the notifications and alerts. I do not care about some of the topics. It’s 11pm, why is my phone going off over high school sports updates… I need to be alerted about news.
