Ratings and reviews

Although my Android phone (OP6T) is assuredly not rooted (I ran two checkers to reconfirm), the app says the device is rooted and won't launch. I ended up downloading the app onto a Chromebook, which works because the tollgates recognize the license plate, not the device. Many stars off for being overaggressive in the safety checks to the point that it's unusable on my phone and because posting a review seems to be the only way to reach anyone who can provide support for the app.

Very easy to use, and perfect for me because I only travel on toll roads once in a while. It is so nice to be able to go through the EZ Tag lane in whatever car I am traveling in. If I know I am going to travel on a toll road, I just open the app, activate whichever vehicle I am traveling in, and go! This is great for people who don't travel on toll roads enough to get an EZ Tag, like me. I hope this app is here to stay!

For an app claiming to make things easier, it sure makes things difficult. Full requirement list: set up auto pay, have the phone in your car while driving. And yet, it constantly forgets who I am, forgets or declines my credit card (without merit), or simply doesn't work and I get mailed a bill by the state. Needs a lot of work.
