Ratings and reviews

No or few construction closures notifications anymore on long island. Keep getting stuck in evening lane closures despite checking the app before heading home. The whole reason I installed the app. Somewhat helpful at first. I don't need this app for just traffic when there's Google and Waze...

I enjoy this. When I travel sometimes i can see the spot i am going to in the present real time. And see your own car going by. And you can check virtual traffic conditions, then virtually check video of road and traffic conditions, then drive into the picture itself. And otherwise can see areas just to check in on them if you can't actually be there.

Several off the cams have been out for a long time and a few need tuning. If you could make it full screen it would be much better. Definitely better than trafficland app!
