Minnesota 511 App Reviews

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

Always useful for planning my commutes home

Terribly slow app and there was no legend for what the colored lines meant. Dont bother downloading this one!

Definitely needs work. It only shows road conditions if youre zoomed in on an area. If you look at even a general region it doesnt give any data. It just looks like google maps with no data.

No legend to make understanding the winter map clear. Minnesotans need a good road condition app we can rely on. Cmon guys, lets get something better in place, please?

Where are the county highways? Looking at routes that have no reports at all!! From past experience with website there was better coverage !

A legend would be very helpful. I had to go to the website to figure out what each color for winter drive conditions were. Kinda pointless to have an app but still need website to figure out how to understand it. But now I know and can get a general idea of conditions. Plus, its good to know where accidents have occurred. Its a good start. But lets get that legend added!

I use it constantly to check for any known accidents or spin outs before my commute home at night after work. Helps me to be a little prepared before I get on the road.

Go back to the old way of selecting cameras. I hate the new way. It is not user friendly.

Good app, the only thing missing is drive times!

I have been waiting for an app like this. Camera selection is a little confusing while toggling between cameras. Best MN traffic app yet.

Dont waste your time on this app. Crashes all the time & loads really slow!

The new interface with the ability to layer road speeds, conditions and incidents is easier to use. Slight issue: when starting the app, make sure to let the map fully update before choosing any layers or it will have a ghost menu you cannot click on. Request: please make startup default layers, location and zoom configurable.

Im not sure if blue roads are icy, or really painted blue in the great state of MN. Every map needs a legend.
