Close, but a few tweaks would make it better

I really like the additional info you can get from the app instead of the mobile website map, but this would really benefit from a time stamp and refresh button so you know how current the info is and easily update if needed.

Nice looking App

Nice to know whats going on before Im in the middle of it for a change! Well designed, too.

Not too bad but skow

Its a bit slow even on my iPhone 5. But its accurate and helps with my commute in the mornings.

Crashes

Crashes every time I try to view a traffic incident or a traffic cam. (iOS 7, iPhone 4S)

Clumsy

This seems to be mostly a wrapper around Google Maps, with some traffic information overlaid. Navigation is clumsy, and there are the redundant zoom buttons, though pinch-to-zoom does work (a bit jerkily). Theres no list of traffic incidents; instead, you must hit quite small targets on the map. If youre off a little bit, youll get address information from Google Maps instead. Traffic speed information may also be coming from Google. It doesnt seem to match the MNDOT traffic management center, even in the metro area. Overall, Im not sure this is an improvement over the website.

Overall good app

Good app. A legend of what colors mean what on the winter driving map would be nice.

Needs improvement

What do the road colors (blue) mean in winter driving map? There is no legend. There is no feedback link for these types of comments. When you tap an incident a whole new map opens up. Why? Dumb. Just use the lower part of the window to display the info. Should be able to swipe L/R between menu options vs. go to Home, select, go back to Home again, select. Again, dumb. Needs more work. Contact me, Im willing to help!
