I love this app and use it often. I WISH more than anything that when selecting the Legend that the first references made were to the colors of the roadway, instead of having them at the end. I also wish there was more consistency in viewing cameras at multiple angles and them being live, although I understand they are different in different locations. I also don't like "playing" with the app because it can be difficult to get back to your basic preferred settings when looking to see a new one

Recently installed this app. Haven't had to use it yet for travel information. But, I have noticed it updates itself during the night. I set all apps to not do that because I want to monitor how often they update. Then, I release updates manually, and daily. So, my strong preference is that apps respect my settings and not change settings with updates. I will update this rating with use; and if the app stops changing my phone's settings, it will earn more stars.

Almost unusable while driving now. UNDO THE UPDATE!! So clunky and difficult to figure out where you are if you're not familiar with that part of the metro. No ability to turn on satellite view. Just a bunch of lines floating in black space now. Did you even test this in the real world before you pushed it out?? Awful "update." I have used this app for many years to check my commute both before and during. No more. Gotta find something else now.
