Review summary

User reviews converge on several pain points: stability and data reliability issues after updates, especially crashes and inaccurate road conditions; cameras often fail to stream or function; persistent location tracking and privacy concerns; and a confusing, slower UI that makes the map and camera access cumbersome compared with older versions.

Pros

Cameras provide quick visual traffic information when functioning.
Map/navigation features allow zooming to your area and viewing cameras.
Public traffic information is accessible through the app.
Older versions were faster and more user-friendly; users prefer reverting to them.

Cons

App crashes after updates and on launch.
Road conditions and closures are frequently inaccurate or not updated.
Cameras are unreliable or not streaming in some areas.
Location tracking is intrusive and settings are ignored.
UI/UX is confusing, slow, and cluttered after updates; landscape issues on iPad.

2026-03-17	Wd*****	The app does not accurately show road conditions after a bad storm. Local news in Richmond is reporting numerous roads closed but app does not show road closures. Not worth downloading due to inaccuracy on VDOT’s part not updating information.

2026-01-26	lo*****	Cameras good but only if you can move around on the map but getting road condition alert info during storm fern all I get is Coleman Bridge under repair. App is good during conditions you don’t need it but under storm conditions worthless except for cameras.

2025-04-25	Re*****	Overall, I like the app. Generally speaking it's not the cleanest or easiest to use interface, but I like that information is available to the public, esp. the cameras. One problem is the travel alerts. They are pointless because an alert to "leave by" that is in less than 10 mins or essentially "right now" does not help at all. It would also be nice if travel routes weren't so dang "glued" to interstates.
