### 2/5 — Less useful with no camera access

*2021-02-12, version 2.20*

WV511 is much more useful on the website than the app, use VA511 for reference and invest a little more money.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-03-03, version 1.22*

This app is useless!  If you want road conditions visit wv511.org. Don't waste your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Totally worthless

*2014-02-03, version 1.22*

Don't waste your time. Provides no helpful road information. Only options for road conditions is for construction and heavy trucks. No weather road hazard available. Would give it zero stars if possible.

### 1/5 — Anonymous speed reporting?

*2012-12-21, version 1.1*

This app is run by the WVDOT. Seemed like a great app until they tried to sneak that one in, immediate delete. Ill read the signs as I pass.

### 1/5 — Awful Voice

*2012-12-13, version 1.0*

Just installed app because it's sounds useful. But the woman's voice is terrible!  Too breathy, too sexy. I'm looking for traffic help not a date!

### 1/5 — Battery killer

*2025-04-23, version 2.31*

Cannot stop from running even if not using app.

### 1/5 — One of these things is not like the other

*2025-01-19, version 2.31*

The App has a lot of bells and whistles, but most likely incorrect information on the Road Conditions. My observation - the online version and the app are not synchronized. I have found that the app is mostly wrong. Check it yourself and make your own decision.
Would be a very nice app, if I could trust it…..?!?!!

### 1/5 — No cameras

*2021-11-03, version 2.20*

As i said before no cameras. Please add this to the app.

### 1/5 — Needs work to be user friendly

*2021-02-11, version 2.20*

Have never been able to get useful information quickly. Not a fan of the website either. Why not make it so user can simply input the route they want info instead of all the drop down/drill down

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2020-02-07, version 2.20*

All I want to do is look at traffic cameras.  This app won’t do that.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2018-03-21, version 2.10*

This app doesn’t tell me anything the “Maps” app doesn’t already. I downloaded this to get road information such as snow accumulation. There’s a 511 app for just about every state and this is one of the few that doesn’t list road condition.

### 1/5 — Review

*2017-01-29, version 1.25.2*

Useless.  Can't give a zero or I would

### 1/5 — Won't open past the pages seen in the ad

*2017-01-05, version 1.25.2*

Will not open other than their audio alert

### 1/5 — Too Slow

*2015-01-16, version 1.24.1*

Takes too long for accidents  to be reported on this app if they are even reported at all.  By the time the accidents are on the reports usually the accident is already cleared up or you are already stuck behind the wrecks.  This renders this app pretty much useless except to find out where construction zones are.

### 1/5 — WV511

*2014-03-26, version 1.22*

Does not work on Ipad,app won't open.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2022-04-19, version 2.21*

At last an update !!   Bugs killed. App will retain location and preference settings

### 5/5 — Excellent Driving App

*2014-09-02, version 1.23*

A great driving companion app while traveling in West Virginia.

### 5/5 — Thanks WV!

*2012-12-20, version 1.1*

Great app and just in time for the winter storm season. Good job West Virginia!

### 5/5 — Great App For WV Drivers

*2012-12-15, version 1.0*

The only change I would make is the mileage increments. I would like to see it in 10 mile increments from 0-50 miles. And I think the voice is fine, very pleasant and easy to understand.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-12-14, version 1.0*

Installed the App found that the voice was the same that I use for a personal assitant. I was concerned with the comment below as my kids will often be in the car when the app is running. Turns out, when I disable my custom voice app, the default voice sounds fine.

### 4/5 — Traffic cameras not working on iPhone

*2025-08-27, version 2.31*

Nice app, but the traffic cameras aren’t viewable on an iPhone.

### 4/5 — Pleading for no improvement

*2024-09-07, version 2.30*

Pa511 updated and it’s terrible. Too hard to maneuver through. I’m hoping this appwill allow us to see traffic patterns

### 4/5 — Good app but needs a few more options

*2013-05-12, version 1.2*

Make an option to turn off construction information! I only want to know where accidents are around me and not hear about construction for the next month on every road around me.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2012-12-20, version 1.1*

Nice app, but make sure to go to settings and turn off anonymous speed reporting. Don't know why that would even be an option, but it is. I dropped a star just because they tried to sneak that in.

### 3/5 — Needs all the information from the website.

*2019-11-12, version 2.20*

The app should give at least the same information that’s available from the website. Invest a little money improve the app. And include signs, cameras, and traffic conditions, with live ASAP updates
