VicTraffic for Android
Used to love this app, but since the recent update and the request to enter my route before I get to a map is frustrating. I find it counterintuitive and preferred the "quick overview" style of the entire city to plan my route. Not to mention my freeways wouldn't save and they would flip directions (in/out of City). Didn't think I was that technology illiterate! Will uninstall.
It was good before the recent change to the interface. The traffic map was a bit slow but I found it really useful. And the freeway times great. But now the whole app is useless. Uninstalling.
Not the best app update. In the Freeway Travel Times the heading buttons are not aligned. Pretty bad UI. Also I don't understand why you've changed the colouring of your app logo from green to orange. I don't think anyone associates vic roads with Orange.
I used to be able to quickly see the traffic load and make decisions. Now I have to go to planner with the input windows active on screen. All I want is a simple interface - back to Google maps and the traffic overlay.
Absolutely rubbish since the new update. Who in their right mind thought of this new version. Very crap..
This new update is rubbish and not helpful - bring back the ability to see the traffic volumes/colours on the map
Used to love it, know it is useless. Miss the map that shows the roads and incidents
Information not up to date Road closures need to be updated. Doherty's road between Derrimut Rd and Tarneit road has been closed for 2 days due to flooding g, however this is not listed on the app. Got caught out in severe traffic as I had checked the app before leaving. This is not good enough your app needs to be updated it's over 48 hours after the closure and still not being listed on the app!
App is a good start. Issues are times on saved routes do not refresh. Cannot bypass tolls on journey planner.
App is awful since last update.....too many problems to even mention here. Bring back the last version please.
Great for. Planning a trip. Would be good if it used google traffic in general but the API isn't free and what do you expect for free from a government organisations app. Use it in conjunction with Google Traffic. It's great.
orange logo? there is nothing orange about VicRoads lol love the app and the trafic camera shots. thanks VicRoads.
Can't see the map for the number of roadworks symbols. Switch them off - they still appear.
Useless app. Doesn't even show the roads that are actually closed. No real purpose.
In my opinion, the interface is a lot better than the previous. Also like the 'save' feature
New UI good but saved items don't update and you have to reload freeway screens to get their updated times.
Fantastic app to see real time car travel times in Melbourne. The saved routes are extra useful to quickly see times for your common journeys.
Why on earth would you remove the traffic map? The old app was much better.
Two stars for calling this an 'iPhone app'.
No easy way to look at traffic flows anymore
Buggy
All the freeways are listed, but I can't see Hume Freeway, where is it? Would be good to have predefined routes stored, and get alerts when something happens on those routes; it'll avoid me to search in the app everyday. The rest looks pretty good.
Very handy to assess traffic conditions. HOWEVER two major issues - it regularly crashes my phone , resulting in the need to physically pull out my battery to reboot my phone. This is the apps fault - this is not a phone issue. Secondly, why upon opening do we have to see the entire State - why can't it default to a screen only encompassing Melbourne Metro area. After all that is where the traffic is!
I can't zoom in map to see traffic conditions. ..it was working fine few days back. But now it sucks
Bloody awesome app. I use the freeways and west gate and bolte bridges almost daily so it's very handy to be able to observe live traffic.
Compared to the exact same app for iphone this is ridiculous. Cant save favourites so wouldn't bother using it
A Major intersection in Shepparton has been closed for 3 months & still closed, Benalla Rd & Doyels Rd. Does not show up on this App.as road works.
Once again an update destroys an app that worked perfectly. Stop changing things you idiots.
It's ok but the gps function doesn't work for me at all. All other apps that use gps works fine just not this
Awesome app, does what it's meant to. Only gripe is lack of option to chose default view on start up (always open in travel time view instead of map)
My German visitors were not able to install this app because it has country restrictions on it. IE 'this app is not available in your country'. They are about to drive through Victoria, including near some of the areas where there are road closures due to the fires.
Can a function for a favourite geographical location at a tab if a single button be added so I don't have to zoom in or search suburbs? Otherwise great app to plan everyday work trips.
It is now March 2016... the app is showing alerts on the Yarram-Morwell Road from 2014!
Crashes shortly after being run. Nexus 6P, Android 6.0.1.
App stops responding as soon as I open it and closes.
Moving around the map is very slow. The website is much faster and smoother therefore easier to use. I'll stick to using the website
As the title, crashes as soon as it tries to show the map. Nexus 5x
It's OK not what I was expecting
Not bad just slow

Used to love it and as a courier was super useful. I like just being able to see the road colours so changing my route would still be effective but now you can't see all the roads and how busy these area is in one go.
