Nice and easy to use application.

Alarming!!

I got this to help me keep track of driving conditions and it appears that it may do the job. One warning however- the first night I had it on my phone, (which was unfortunately by my bed), it gave off a VERY loud alert signal, at 4:00 in the morning, that there was a possibility of severe weather about 14 hours later. I think I figured out how to disarm the raucous alert thing, but it certainly blew me right out of bed at 4 a.m..

Great app!

From indiana and planning trip during winter storm so maps, alert & mostly cameras were great! More states need an app like this!

Perfect app for driving in Iowa winters.

Web-site better
Rubinjane

Does not tell enough information when "partially or completely" with what??? Ice, snow, flood water?? Too general for some conditions. Needs to be more accurate for it to be of any help. Web 511ia.org better by far.

Needs Udate

Works fine when it stays open. It has stayed open a couple of times. Most of the time it opens and closes within seconds. At least it was Free. It needs an update to fix the bug.
