Could be better Works okay for me. Some good information here, best for Denver and I70, but that's to be expected since that's where the traffic is. Map is the best part, but that is Google Maps with traffic option. The app is a serious drain on the battery and resources so quit when you're done. Would like to see better coverage of Denver to Fort Collins. And a better interface - the good stuff is hidden in the tiny menu button (top right).

Very useful True, it only covers I-70 and I-25, but that's I'll I need. You can see the electric sign boards, which give you accurate times, construction alerts, and other advisories. It updates every 3 minutes, which keeps you ahead of any traffic delays so you can plan your route in advance. Great app!

Victoria Culbeaux

Good enough and could be better I wish it was location enabled so I wouldn't have to type in which town I'm in as I look things up. Or when I'm nowhere near and don't care for a notification on traffic. Also when mountain passes close it just says closed and leaves it as that. There are no updates on when they might open or how heavy traffic or travel might be around passes. .sometimes I uninstall to stop the frequency in which I receive notifications because uses up battery

Wants to be good. This app is promising, but honestly not even near as good as the mobile site has been for a while (which is pretty good). As others have mentioned, it's difficult to get info on anything but I70 and I25. It is obvious that it was built for ios. One of my biggest issues though is the notifications. The best I can tell, you can't disable them, and 90% of the time they don't have anything to do with where I am or where I intend to go.

Keith Besel

Not accurate It seems to assume info based on the weather forecasts rather than real conditions. We were on dry roads for 60 miles on I-76 and it said they were icy and snowpacked. Weatherbug was more accurate. Nebraska's road app is an easier model to use.

Tom Bement

Outside of the I70 and I25 corridor this app is less than stellar. Living in south central Colorado I am unable to specifically filter for road conditions that I travel the most. I am un-able to use this app for the info that I need most. Uninstalled

Petty useless Not easy to understand. Doesn't give enough detail on road conditions and traffic problems. I don't know how often the app updates but i've been stopped in traffic and the app shows clear. The CDOT web site has much better information.

Jason Fast December 21, 2015

Horrible! Hey cdot, don't you maintain roads besides I-70? For those of us who travel roads other than I-70 (285, 40, 160, 50, 9, 24....) it would be great to having these road conditions available as well. This app need to be renamed I-70 roads conditions. To say that this is the "Official CDOT App" is a complete joke! What a waste of our hard earned tax dollars!

Leslie Marshall April 17, 2015

Cdot app is great for us who live and work in the mountains! I rely on this app for the commute. It lets me know conditions so I am not stuck on the roadside waiting in a welcome center or in my late model truck on the stopped interstate with my sick family member. It is a valuable app!

Lawrence Beals February 7, 2016

Pretty but useless for my needs I live in the mountains NW of FC. The 7 times in the last couple of my months that US 287 has been closed due to weather or accidents and I have been on the road there have been no notifications. Suppose it might work on the interstates but for the rest of the state not so much. CDOT doesn't seem to have a real time status outside of the interstate corridor.

Jeff Beer January 31, 2016

Website much better Full of ads. Website is much better. 2/2016. I like the travel time summary page. That seems better. Wish it was separated into east and west on different screens with the areas broken up some more. Also colors green, red , black, yellow.

Matthew L February 21, 2015

Needs to be more of a resource There is no information for the veins of Colorado road structure other than I-25 and I-70. Its time to really evaluate and think about that. How ridiculous.for the CDOT system.right now it Feb 21st 2015. We are getting hammered with snow and i'm traveling from Denver to Baily on 285 which..lmao ..is in Colorado and not a big part of this app.

Cody Mortus October 4, 2013

Enough pushing! I get so many stinking push notifications from this app, it's become useless! If it were localized and gave me notifications about the roads near me or near where I usually drive, that'd be cool. But it's for every section of road anywhere. And I can't turn them off anywhere! Add a way to turn off push notifications and this app could redeem itself.

Shawn Martin March 22, 2014

Not a bad app, but needs a little work. The big problem with this app is that you cannot find an obvious option to disable alerts. I do not need an alert about Vail Summit when I'm not in the area. The alerts may be nice for someone living there, but many users if this app are travelers or truckers. Please fix this or give us a conspicuous option to turn off notifications.

Scott Farrow December 23, 2014

Colors are terrible I would expect CDOT to understand the importance of colors. This app is almost unusable to people with red-green colorblindness. Please switch to a darker green. I can't tell the difference between the greens and yellows. Hello ADA?

Brian Syptak October 12, 2014

Typical gimped app compared to web No cameras. Web site is 10x better. Why bother? All phones that have apps have web. Uninstalled. I don't need another app running in the background sucking my battery dry.

Shane Baird February 9, 2014

Really? Fairly useless if you aren't on 70 or 25. Won't let you configure alerts, so you get useless notifications constantly. Too much advertising. I know it's free, but the same info is available elsewhere (i.e. Google maps) with less hassle.

Erich Vinson March 7, 2014

Lame Slow. Inaccurate data. Location feature doesn't work - it keeps insisting I'm 60-100 miles away from where I really am. Just stick with the mobile site for much better results.

ruth coats February 1, 2016

what happen to road condition list? this app no longers gives info as to conditions along high way. cams difficult to access and videos are so tiny they are useless.

Jason G September 4, 2013

Since the July 24 update Happy to report it now works with my Samsung Note 2 but that's about the extent of my good remarks. Interface is cumbersome and difficult to use. With the app being titled trip planner I would have thought that would be a way 2 navigate from point A to B and have it help you get there the fastest easiest most direct way. Nope. Guess it isn't bad if you just want to check travel delays and look at it highway cameras but you can do that on Google too so I'll stick with that.

Frederick Wegert November 5, 2013

For Denver Drivers Only This app only has information for I 70 and I 25 around Denver. Being sanctioned by CDOT, I expected more information regarding all of CDOT's road. As someone that drives daily from Glenwood to Vail, this app is worthless. CDOT's CoTrip website is more functional than this app for drivers outside of Denver.

Bernie Seward September 4, 2013

Pathetic App This app is cumbersome to navigate and inconsistent from one hwy system to another. The focus seems to be for skiers traveling I-70. I would get alley notifications but could never get to any detail. I could never recommend this app to anyone.

Frank Lehnerz January 17, 2014

Too many ads, background GPS hog. Edit: Do not download this app. It will push too many ads to your phone. This is a road conditions app, not an advertising platform or at least that's the way it should be. Most people do not care about Blackhawk 50% off offers or last minute hotels. They want to know how the traffic conditions are. Shame on CDOT for selling themselves out to this junk. Ads within the app are one thing, but push notification ads are NOT acceptable. The only notifications this app better be sending are road closures or delays. The developers also need to fix the bug that enables the GPS to be used in the background while this app is running. The GPS in the background can lead to significant battery usage and such function is completely unnecessary. This app even runs and uses the GPS even AFTER you've force stopped the application.

Heather Johnson November 16, 2015

Terrible This app is frustrating. The web site was better before all these changes, choosing a camera was so much easier. It would be nice if I could set any cameras in my travel route as favorites. The cluster of cameras on the I-70 map is a joke with the pins all crammed together. The list of locations is prejudice, they aren't the only places people care about! Have consideration for those of us that actually LIVE in mountains!?! Who ever said it was great for their commute must be in the foothills.

Venessa Meyers August 13, 2016

This is the worst traffic app! The makers of this app forget that there is more of a state than Denver and surrounding area. Horrible! If I could give it zero stars I would. I'll be using Waze from now on for Statewide information.

Jon Fowler March 31, 2014

Terribly programmed This app could be good, but it's quite bloated and riddled with bugs. It loves to drain the battery by continuously calling on the gps in the background. Also, for how simple the UI should be, it is not smooth at all.

Jim Watson April 28, 2014

Where is the info. This app is frustrating. I will get a notification on my phone that i-70 is closed a mm xxx but there is no info in the app. The other day I was stopped on I-70 for about 20 minutes. No one was moving... this app didn't have anything to say about it. Not a lot of value to me. An update to previous comment above: received an alert that I 70 is closed at Vail Pass. We to see road conditions at Vail. Reports indicated fairly fast trip from Vail to Denver with average speeds between 50 & 60. Unreliable

Dave Knight April 11, 2014

Great App Just downloaded this and have to say it's really cool. My wife was stuck in traffic so I got it and found out that all of 470 was blocked except the right shoulder. She was moving to the left lane.

Maureen Fuller November 1, 2014

Too Invasive Before installing, please scrutinize the permissions! The information this app provides has been valuable in the past. However with the new updates my Norton Mobile Security flagged this as High Risk because it reads too much of my private information, as well as info in my SIM card. Uninstalled. Fix this and I put it back on my phone!

December 30, 2014

Useless if you travel anywhere outside of the I70 corridor , and surrounding attractions, there is a lot more to this state. Good thing it's free. Seems they concentrate on telling you the conditions of the roads they maintain the most.

Bo Lucas December 2, 2015

Love it!!!! This app has bin an awesome asset to my travels in Colorado tells about road closures and delays so you can adjust your commute timing also the camera option to see what the current road conditions are is the best so you know what kind of weather or conditions you'll have ahead of time all in all awesome LOVE IT!!! DOWNLOAD NOW!!!! SEE FOR YOUR SELF

Stefan McVoy March 27, 2015

Bad.... I'm currently sitting on I70, stopped, before the tunnel due to an accent and there is no notification of this on this app. This app is unreliable and freezes a good bit of the time. It's junk.

Jared Strong January 12, 2015

Decent They have definitely improved it. There now seems to be some other roads besides I25/I70. My complaint though, if this is sanctioned by the state, why are there "offers"?

Ian Roth February 14, 2014

Good info, can't disable alerts I'll probably just uninstall this app once my trip to the mountains is over.

Scott Wilkins March 18, 2016

Practically Useless Compared to previous app, this is borderline useless; unless you plan on staying between Denver and Vail or Denver and the Springs. The old app gave road conditions for all major state and US highways. Way to go geeks, you have again totally screwed up something that worked.

bob shaw October 15, 2013

Good but no cigar Does a reasonable job on the basics but is Denver/Boulder Centric. Would be nice if it looked at where you were and showed the traffic conditions for that area on the main page. I25 Alerts start with US 36 and end with Arapahoe Rd but that does not do much if I am not in Denver. Removing from the phone, not of much use without extra effort.

Steven Weaver December 12, 2015

App Sucks This app and the new Web site suck. I'm a commercial driver and I find this app nearly useless.

Ananda Tracy September 17, 2016

Good app, but low quality qa process. The latest update had breaking changes. Banner ads were added, and now none of the traffic info. screens load. Instead, there is a blank white screen with banner ads.

Konstynatyn Halonkin February 13, 2014

Battery drain Drained battery and hogs resources. Good for looking up traffic for snowboarding. Needs to have an option to disable notifications and to turn off completely. Uninstall until then.
