Ratings and reviews

Down to 1 start for not putting road work information in the map. Applying the most recent update deleted all of my favorite maps! Contrary to what the developer thinks, I did NOT want that to happen! For some reason WSDOT does not post road work information if the road work is at night, on the maps. Lane closures? Not posted. Ramp closures? Not posted. Still wastes screen space for ads that don't load. Existing accidents don't show, but old accidents randomly pop back onto the map.

Does not handle exceptions well. This week the Bremerton ferry service went down to one ship, and lots of announcements were made that the schedule would be impacted. Except... The schedule in the app was never updated. Nor does the app allow you to see which boat is scheduled for which time slot. The phone information system also did not reflect the change. As a result, we ended up showing up at the wrong time and had to wait 2 hours for our next crossing. Very frustrating.

This app is amazingly accurate, easy to use and the notifications are sent much faster than WSDOT texts. It is easy to read and check the site/s of cameras you'd like to see. The camera signals are clear and updated within minutes of seeing them. While traveling it has a safety feature asking if you're the passenger, because we all know, it's not safe to look at our phones while driving. I recommend this app to everyone; especially those I know cross the Hood Canal Bridge as often as I do.
