Icy roads not on the legend Traveled Monday night on icy roads. The legend has info for snow cover not ice. Road conditions as labeled that night were deceptive. Icy should be an inclusion.

NOTIFICATIONS! Check out WI 511 WI 511 has notifications by county.This app is better than WI 511 except for the county notifications that WI has. I would like to see notifications like that. WI saved me a lot of time today near the MN border with a helpful notification.

Fail The app isn't even working during a winter storm. Another reason to hate Minnesota.

Missing data. For example major closure of 394/494 ramps in TC metro does not show on map.

Needs updating Road conditions are not updated. Also a major accident was not indicated for several hours after the crash

Works pretty well App does what I need. It would be great if there was a refresh button for traffic cameras.

Joanne Elabedi February 3, 2016

It keeps saying unfortunately 511mn has stopped. I even removed and reinstalled it.

Ronald Nelson September 2, 2015

Very good for current traffic conditions and construction status.

Bill Croteau November 9, 2015

Jennifer Schmidt February 8, 2016

Paul Stortroen November 18, 2015

Must have app! Must have app! Especially during winter months.

Ruben Condado February 4, 2016

Needs work Not updated enough

Steve Bittner February 7, 2016

Wont update the roads. Used to work.

Raul Martinez November 14, 2015

Work Located

Jody Jean Bowers February 11, 2015

Useful, but could be MORE useful If the DOT would update road conditions more often, this ap would be awesome. Right now its showing a 12 hour delay in updating driving conditions.

Holly Purdy June 6, 2015

Needs Construction I just downloaded and did not get a construction option at all. The Iowa one is so much easier to see construction zones. This is a hot mess. My travel through Minn is going to suck. Did they forget people travel in the summer too?

June 16, 2015

Doesn't work All this app does is crash. Best to use the terrible mobile website instead.

Chad Olson January 18, 2015

UPDATE MORE.. Needs update more..6:43 am when I posted this and last update for northwest mn. Was yesterday at 1:47 pm dealing with ice and slush..so did it freeze up overnight or what?

Debra Anderson April 30, 2015

Looking for route around road construction. Found route instantly and lane closure info was as easy as clicking on one button. I love this app.

Jeff Mattson May 13, 2015

Not bad.. Was great before they changed the colors. now unless you zoom way in you can't tell the difference in colors. It used to go from yellow to red.....now light red to dark red :-(

Brent Olson March 8, 2015

Fair at best, does help. MN should take a look at ND road conditions app, it is significantly better...BY FAR!!

Connie Gratias June 14, 2015

Minnesota 511 Great app for road closures & conditions info

Zachary Bremer January 15, 2015

Solid app Sometimes takes a while for a stretch of road to update, but it's still immensely useful

Glen Froehlig July 17, 2015

Information For Travel to places, To leave time for store closers,To be on time-

511 minnesota Road Conditions is easy to use an accurate.

McCoy Family January 13, 2015

Excellent way to Improve Travel While traveling to and from Minnesota in Winter and Summer, this app helped us plan our trip. We missed snow and iced roads in the winter and flooded roads in the summer. Easy to use. Must have this Minnesota 511 app. I wish my state had a good 511 app.

Perry Sundin January 5, 2015

Excellent app for road conditions

Greg Robinson December 3, 2014

Great high-level info about route conditions, but UI feels like it's still a beta test; difficult to zoom in on a specific interchange without the cursor randomly jumping around the screen precisely where you don't need it.

Mike B December 14, 2014

Good but needs work Just needs to be more frequent road updates.

Glenda Vizecky November 29, 2014

Love this application for road conditions while making travel plans and daily route to work.

Charles B. November 23, 2014

Better in late 2014 1st version sucked. This one in late 2014 is much better. It stays zoomed to your area. I haven't tried it with gps on so I don't know if that will add anything.
