User's Comments of Iowa 511

Great app once you figure out what everything is. I commute 45 minutes away on a good day. This allows me to make adjustments to my time if needed. Plow cams and road cams are great. Only thing with the road cams is snow/ice builds up on lense and you can't see what the road looks like.

Pretty good at updating but don't rely 100% on it. I've had a few times where it wasn't updated but those times were rare. However, I make all my teenage kids (who are now driving) download this app because it's a necessity.

Excellent app to use when planning travel and assisting friends on the road. Up to date and accurate.

I've only had it for about a month but no issues with it. I am satisfied with that.

The app can track its location on the map. Using users' location information, the "alert" feature will notify users via voice when events such as traffic accidents occur.
