Ratings and reviews

I rely on this app heavily for my morning commute. I enjoy this tool so much, HOWEVER, it has been freezing like crazy! I cant even look around the map for more than 10 seconds and it freezes. I then try to close the app and reopen and it freezes again. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app and still hasn't fixed the problem. Please fix this 511, I love your app but can't use it if it keeps freezing!

I love this app and use it often. I WISH more than anything that when selecting the Legend that the first references made were to the colors of the roadway, instead of having them at the end. I also wish there was more consistency in viewing cameras at multiple angles and them being live, although I understand they are different in different locations. I also don't like "playing" with the app because it can be difficult to get back to your basic preferred settings when looking to see a new one

Great recent improvements, but some serious issues, too. After the major updates dropped, I looked around in the app. Lots of great new features. Some annoying ones too, though. One is the Where To? box sitting at the bottom of the map. I'll never use it and you can't get rid of it. Also, I created an account and saved a bunch of settings. I got a new phone and now I can't log in. I tried the Forgot Password several times but kept getting an error.
