User Reviews

QuickMap is praised for strong driving-usefulness, with easy route planning, traffic updates, and road-closure awareness, plus highway cameras and driver-friendly features. However, recurring reliability problems—unreliable live data, broken UI links, inconsistent camera updates, noise from notifications, and regional limitations—undermine its value. Overall it’s a helpful tool when it works, especially for professional drivers, but consistency and data freshness are the main areas needing improvement.

Pros

Extremely useful for drivers' trip planning with traffic, routing options, and toll estimates.
Provides timely traffic updates and road closure information, helping users avoid delays.
Highway cameras along routes are a valuable feature for real-time situational awareness (when updated).
Easy-to-use interface that makes it quick to check area traffic and plan moves.
Particularly helpful for professional drivers (truckers, Uber), who rely on route planning and traffic data.

Cons

Unreliable live traffic data and incident details; maps often fail to load or show outdated information.
UI/UX issues such as details links breaking after updates and descriptions not displaying fully.
Camera feeds and other live data are not consistently updated, reducing usefulness.
Push notifications are too noisy without options to customize; excessive alerts.
Limited regional support (e.g., Canada not supported) and ongoing outages/reliability problems.

Recent reviews

Broken and unusable. Your clustering of the alerts make it difficult to get an overall view of conditions. It was a good app before CalTrans broke it with their idiotic update.

Recent changes have ruined this app. Once visually appealing and user-friendly, it now resembles an unfinished product. Before, when opened, it showed your exact location. Now it takes 2+ times to get it into position. For over a year there has been major road construction in my area where 2 highways meet. The alert is no longer shown on the map. The graphics and icons are ugly and confusing and the search bar is intrusive. A shame, once a simple to use alternative, I can no longer be trust it.
