I loaded the program yesterday and used it for my commute this morning. On SB 169 at Rockford Rd I was in a traffic jam with speeds no higher than20 mph and the program showed an average speed of 70mph with an overall average of 65 mph for 169 from I94 SB to I394. The speed limit in that stretch is 55mph. No one was going any faster than 55mph on that stretch this morning and I doubt anyone reached 70mph on that stretch during the entire rush hour this morning. Put quite simply, the app doesn't work. Also, don't think it provides alerts like many other apps, it only sends alerts when the app is turned on, not in the background like other apps. The app doesn't cost much and the concept is good but it does not work!
As a frequent visitor to Minneapolis I love being able to check the travel times for my drive. Maps are fine but doesn't give me the times. The app is fast loading and the auto update and audio notification features allow me to let the app run throughout my drive and keep me informed with only a glance.
Very easy to use. Everyone in Mpls should have this.
So far it's reliable and really helps to gage traffic as to when I need to be on the road to beat the rush!
App won't allow me to change which roads to track traffic on. Drops and adds choices randomly. Unusable.
If I could score 0 I would. Do not waste your time with this app. Any road I have added deletes itself and reverts to pre-loaded roads.
Doesn't find data for every route I enter in, doesn't register speed at certain cross streets so time estimate isn't even remotely accurate
