I enjoy this. When I travel sometimes i can see the spot i am going to in the present real time. And see your own car going by. And you can check virtual traffic conditions, then virtually check video of road and traffic conditions, then drive into the picture itself. And otherwise can see areas just to check in on them if you can't actually be there.

Several off the cams have been out for a long time and a few need tuning. If you could make it full screen it would be much better. Definitely better than trafficland app!

No or few construction closures notifications anymore on long island. Keep getting stuck in evening lane closures despite checking the app before heading home. The whole reason I installed the app. Somewhat helpful at first. I don't need this app for just traffic when there's Google and Waze...

It's okay, but the developer is unresponsive... sent an email requesting the "loading live camera video" verbiage moved out of the way of live feeds so it doesn't obstruct the camera view... haven't heard a peep.

If you could get rid of the loading message in the middle of the screen and allow zooming in and out youl get 5

Every time I try to choose a region it stops. Traffic cameras are cool but no rating and only 10+ downloads..I'll check back later when they fix it

Looking for traffic cams. Didnt have anything for i-84 in ny. Didnt have dutchess and orange counties in NY, yet had Connecticut areas. Yet the app is called 511NY. Go figure...

Reinstalled on 2 phones. After taking to open a new feature such as drive or traffic incidents, app just shuts down, it would be great if this didn't happen I would give five (5) stars ...

This is a great app, but would love to see a snow plow tracker, that way people can see progress of snow removal

Waste of time

Site/account works on laptop, sort of, but when it's issues transfer to the app? Ha! Not straightforward or intuitive, and, tho LOGGED IN, GPS ON, doesn't remember settings. Tried to set area AGAIN, but Rochester/Buffalo NOT an option. ?? Selected NY state, then tried to select COUNTY, but ONLY choice was Bergen - a TOWN! SERIOUSLY?!? I quit & uninstalled. JUST want map of my default region with chosen alerts showing, and to REMEMBER it and NOT start me in Quebec.

Tried to look on app for road closures after flooding and it missed A LOT. Use to be a helpful app. Now I'll just Google local news for the area I'm going.

Can't select specific traffic cameras without creating an acct...
