Ratings and reviews

Misleading and inaccurate info. I've encountered many times when the info was totally the opposite, or the duration suddenly shoot up which nearly impossible that the traffic could be building up within the timeframe. The traffic cameras images often "down" while the images were clearly shown at other app/websites. The reference data was outdated.

Currently, the forecast is using the data from the last week for "regular" days and past year's holidays for the same this year. However, there are occasions where the dataset used for the forecast may not be considered by the app. Example, Children's Day. Hence I would like to request an additional feature that allows users to select the historical data for forecast, by specific date as an option.

Used to be accurate pre-covid but seems quite way off now. Ever been caught in 4 hours wait when estimated time showed less tham 2 hours. These few days, even some of the "live" view at 2nd link showed images still in the dark when it was already late morning. One motoring cam views are more up to date.
