### 2/5 — Crashing

*2026-05-21, version 1.6.2*

This app keeps crashing as of today. I’ve tried deleting it and redownloading and it still crashes. I’ve even looked to see if it needs an update but it still crashes.

### 4/5 — Can you add mile markers as an option?

*2023-09-04, version 1.5.3*

In the Map options tab, would it be possible to add mile markers as one of the layers? This could be very beneficial if there’s an accident or if there’s an issue reported at a certain MM and one could look for an alternative route.

### 1/5 — App Glitches

*2023-02-23, version 1.5.0*

Always glitches out when pressing “Maps”
My app is up to date.

### 2/5 — Crashes Incessantly Now

*2023-02-23, version 1.5.0*

The latest update has made this previously indispensable app nearly useless with its constant crashing when trying to open the map feature. This is during a blizzard with sub-zero temperatures when knowledge of road conditions & closures is a life-&-death matter. Restore it to its previous usefulness, and leave well enough alone.

### 3/5 — App crashes

*2023-02-22, version 1.5.0*

App crashes constantly when trying to open the app.

### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2023-01-13, version 1.4.31*

The app isn't as good as others have told me. I can't use it for checking the roads and mapping out where I want to go.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2022-12-17, version 1.4.31*

Why are there no city or town or highway numbers on the map?

### 1/5 — where is a text based alternative?

*2022-08-10, version 1.4.31*

For me, the map has only crashed. And crashed. And crashed. Reading reviews, it has been crash crash crashing for a long time. 
So I no longer have a way to find out how the roads are as I head toward WY. Good luck to all of us. We're on our own.

### 1/5 — Incredibly unstable

*2022-06-12, version 1.4.31*

App crashes whenever I try to open the map. If, by some miracle, I get to the map, it will crash when I try to bring up the weather station layer. If I haven’t gotten tired of trying by this point, which is usually between 25-50 attempts in, it will crash when I try to open up the data from a weather station. Needs serious stability improvements.

### 1/5 — Claim road kill does not work

*2022-03-16, version 1.4.3*

I read a story that touted this new functionality on the app, so I downloaded the app. I tried to use the claim road kill function. The app connected me with the department of fish and game computer system and had me fill in personal information. I filled in the information and the system froze. I tried this many times with same result. Another poorly implemented government system. What a waste of resources.

### 4/5 — A must for frequent wy travelers

*2022-01-05, version 1.4.2*

Pretty solid, always use when traveling home(central wy) to college(eastern ks). One thing I’d want to see added is where the exit closures are on the map (i.e. right now, Evanston to exit 83) 1-5-22, as I’m traveling from Arizona. Not perfect but still really helpful to have.

### 3/5 — App crashes frequently - no way to update

*2021-12-10, version 1.4.2*

This app crashes several times while using it. The other issue I have with it is you can’t manually refresh the data to see new road closures or other data.

### 2/5 — Crashes Frequently

*2021-10-12, version 1.4.2*

Every winter I redownload the app so I know what the roads are looking like while traveling. It's been very dependable for the last three winters; however, this snow season it crashes each time I select to view the map. I have always highly recommended the app, but with this issue I simply can no longer do so. I implore the developer to fix it quickly, as there are people who depend on this app to make safe travel plans and decisions.

### 2/5 — Don’t trust this app

*2021-06-29, version 1.4.2*

Just came from Buffalo to Tensleep. The app had notice of “Commercial Vehicle Testing Operations,” so we called Buffalo DOT Maintenance about expected delays and were assured we’d notice almost nothing. Nowhere on the app nor in our call was the 15-minute wait for a flag car nor the chip and seal operation with loose gravel that went from the Sheep Mountain Lookout Road to the Washakie County line with 45 mph speed limit. Nowhere was the 5-minute wait for flag car along Tensleep Creek with a drop down to mud for a short distance between the end of the canyon and Tensleep. NO INFO. Don’t trust this app. It’s not updated as it should be.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2021-04-12, version 1.4.2*

Whenever I check it once and get out of it and come back to it it crashes every single time.

### 3/5 — Okay But Needs Work

*2021-03-10, version 1.4.1*

Needs several tools or layers 
1- Active Incidents Layer (and brief description of incident)
2- Message Signs Layer (where can view current message displayed)
3- Link to most current YouTube Statewide Weather Briefing

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-05-21, version 1.6.2*

It doesn't work. At all.  Says it's downloading the latest data, then it crashes. I’ve deleted and reinstalled. Still nothing

### 1/5 — Crashing, Travel impact gone

*2026-05-19, version 1.6.2*

Had to update the app because it was constantly closing every time I tried to open it. Deleted it and reinstalled it. Now the travel impact color coding is gone. Have to go to the WYDOT website now in order to see the road conditions so I can make my travel plans.

### 1/5 — Won’t even load

*2026-05-17, version 1.6.2*

Downloaded the app for my upcoming trip, and it only stays open about 3 seconds before crashing. I’ve deleted it and re- downloaded it 3 times. What a complete waste of time.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2026-05-16, version 1.6.2*

It literally doesn’t work. Says it’s downloading the latest data, then it closes. Worthless.

### 1/5 — Stop Changing

*2025-12-08, version 1.5.15*

This app was by far and away the best for road conditions and webcams. Then you went and update it. Now I can’t find the webcams on the map view.   Please fire the state of Wyomings app department.

### 1/5 — iOS latest release has critical overlay issues

*2025-02-01, version 1.5.7*

When you first launch the app, map overlay of road conditions and open status is accurate. But as soon as you select a feature such as Wx Reporting Stations, map overlay is no longer current and cannot be made current until force close and relaunch of the app. 

Also. App needs  bug reporting tool or email link.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-09-04, version 1.5.7*

This app is a worthless piece of garbage.  It provides no data regarding why there is a road closure, does not label highways, and is generally useless.

### 1/5 — No web cam

*2024-06-24, version 1.5.6*

I’ve had this app for along time. Suddenly, I couldn’t get any of the web cams to load up. I deleted the app last night and downloaded it again. I could get the pictures again. I get on it this morning and the web cams won’t download again. I’ll delete it again but I’m afraid I’m going it’s going to end up the same way. Sad, I enjoyed the cameras.

### 1/5 — Well

*2023-03-10, version 1.5.0*

I am sick of this app crashing every other day. Fix it.

### 1/5 — When it works it’s ok

*2023-02-23, version 1.5.0*

App crashes a lot. With newest update now the map won’t show the road conditions which is the main point of this app.

### 5/5 — What Time of Year??

*2026-05-17, version 1.6.2*

Wyoming 511 gives me just the right information that I need to navigate I-80 no matter what time of year you’ll be going through it!! I’ve got the app on my phone so I’m always on top of the conditions for the state!  If you’re interested and you happen to be a trucker, it’s definitely worth checking it out!!

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2021-12-26, version 1.4.2*

It works great I use it all the time. Living in Wyoming it’s needed.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-11-15, version 1.4.2*

This app is awesome! I really do wish they would add a way to create notifications for when roads open up or close down since sometimes they close without warning any time of the year. Notifications would be awesome!

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-02-07, version 1.4.1*

I gave it 5 because it’s quick and easy to know exactly what the conditions are for any stretch of road. Excellent.

### 5/5 — We’ve used this for years- it’s a lifesaver

*2019-12-04, version 1.3.7*

This app shows conditions on both local roads and highways. I wish there was a stated color legend, but it’s fairly obvious, and you can click on icons to see current alert and condition posts. Drill down to city streets is great.  I notice that I have to reload this app if I have not used it in awhile— like most other apps. It works; an update in graphics would be good, but the actual detailed Hwy department data is indispensable. 

The trucker who went astray on the high elevation Beartooth Hwy should have been using this.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-10-27, version 1.3.7*

Thank you for putting the time and resources into making this app!

### 5/5 — Nice Improvement over the past

*2019-10-27, version 1.3.7*

This is way better than the website and phone in options of the past. I love the camera, weather sensors and road conditions.  Great app for any Wyomingite!

### 5/5 — Best App in Area

*2019-03-14, version 1.3.6*

Title says it all. Try CDOT or UDOT. They are terrible compared to this. Is there room for improvement? Yes. But this is the most user friendly, functional interface in the Central Rocky Mountain area for sure. Shoutout to the developers for keeping it simple.

### 5/5 — Tons of great info but...

*2017-02-24, version 1.2.2*

It would be nice to plot my drive and filter out all the other reports that will not affect my course. Showing everything is pretty confusing.

### 5/5 — Good state run app

*2016-12-02, version 1.1*

I drive the west coast and this is one of the better ones from a state. One thing I would like to see is the addition of a weather forecast, and incidents like on utah's.  Overall a great app much better than the independent ones.
