Review summary

Users like the app for its ease of use and informative content, and some praise it as useful for truckers. But reliability and data issues dominate: the app often won’t start or crashes, and performance can be slow. Data updates are slow or incomplete—closures, construction, and flood impacts aren’t reliably shown, and old road numbers cause confusion. Map details are missing (no legend, unlabeled highways) and the camera view feature was removed. Signup/upload problems and disruptive forced updates also hurt usability.

Pros

Easy to use with a local-focused map
Informative and useful for safe travel decisions
Helpful for truckers

Cons

Reliability and stability problems (frequent crashes or app won’t start)
Data updates and accuracy issues (closures, construction, flood not reliably shown; slow updates)
Missing map details and features (no legend, unlabeled highways; removal of camera view)
Slow performance / long load times
Signup/upload and forced-update issues impacting usability
