Idk if it's just my phone (Note 8) or what, but this app is useless. I can't add in a layer of winter driving (the entire reason I installed it), it doesn't have it as an option. I try viewing the list of all roads because I want to see highway 75, but it just gives me an error. I uninstalled. Was hoping this would update better than the website that generally has wildly outdated information... I wish the MN 511 was even half as good as the ND 511 :(

I like that we can see where the accidents are located, however, most cameras don't work properly, it does NOT indicate road conditions, other than by visually looking at the few cameras and guessing what it is doing. The app is not user friendly and does not offer information about the road conditions, avg speed, etc... The best data you can collect, is to go out on the roads yourself and try and avoid the purple diamonds. Pointless if trying to navigate into work & how dangerous the roads are

Was great last winter, but this winter (late 2019) it is not accurate at all. The webcams are current, but the road conditions & reports are outdated. Today 11/29, the report says it was last updated 2 days ago on 11/27. I have the latest version.

Many of the camera's don't show live coverage. For example, I checked the camera closest to me to figure out why the interstate was backed up and the camera shows it's raining. Definitely not raining.

Needs upgrades! Also needs more frequent updates on road conditions!! In checking for today's conditions, especially re icy weather, found last update was over 24 hrs ago!! How are people supposed to know what the CURRENT road conditions are? If you don't want people on the roads, update the information!

Terrible app for 2019 and now also in 2020. Cameras not up to date. Most are not working and the same for snowplow cameras. I am ashamed how bad our state informs us on vital road conditions. I have looked at the road apps for other states and Minnesota falls very behind in upgrading the technology.
