Q70%
by Q####:

Useless. No incidents within 50 miles of Peterborough it tells me. So roadworks closing the A1M isn't sufficient of an incident? Yes I did check I had roadworks selected and the Google layer on.

Really good feature that saves your route and you can simply open the app and quickly see whats happening on the route.

M70%
by M####:

I tried to create a search "Along Route" and entered Start location and hit the magnifying glass button, then pressed the back button then clicked on destination and entered and searched and backed out, but noticed the start point clears, so cannot use and is pretty useless, any help would be greatly appreciated and an increase in rating but pretty much doubtful as i tried to visit website which shows 500 -Internal Server Error.

Too slow and useless.

Q70%
by Q####:

Really clunky to use. Takes ages to update. The route search was very limited. Needs some work

P70%

Rubbish interface. Outdated info. Avoid.

T70%
by T####:

Works fine. Default view is only alerts for today. Maybe that's the issue for others

O70%

Google map works but the search shows nothing.

T70%

Don't bother with this, it continually fails to contact server despite a good cnx on my phone

T70%
by T####:

Accurate and timely, but sometimes slow to load maps view which is more convenient, so 4 stars only. HTC desire HD

Keeps saying no incidents for over a week now, the radio is advising of incidents on the road. Loved this app since I downloaded it in Jan, now broke.

H70%

Doesn't work.

I70%
by I####:

Would be fantastic if it allowed searching along a selected route. Instead it searches a completely different route of its choosing!

T70%
by T####:

Tried to get it to work along a route... no luck.

C70%
by C####:

The app is good for car journeys but the icon is inappropriate as it only covers road trips- it is no good for train or air journeys

O70%
by O####:

Search was difficult to use, didn't show up any weather warnings, and felt clunky. Good for roadworks though and a lot of potential.

K70%
by K####:

It worked well on my southbound journey from A to B. Now that I'm returning north from B to A & it keeps jumping back to my previous journey (A to B), so the info its giving me is irrelevant. I don't care what's going on on the southbound carriageway, dudes! PS I also couldn't find a way to save my searches. So overall it's clunky & needs work!

R70%
by R####:

I Cant search to create routes, 'could not get location from server at this time' error message' displayed. I think its time to remove this app and stick with AA Road watch.

R70%
by R####:

Doesn't seem to have any means of controlling what information is displayed - just a long unsorted and uncategorised list of traffic reports from all over the country. I've tried tapping all over the screen but nothing appears. How is it that other reviewers can rave about it, while others like me find it useless - is there a download/installation problem? Chartcross tell me to use the menu button. Have they not read what I have written? There is no menu button. There are no controls anywhere.

C70%
by C####:

Excellent tool for something that's free. The ability to divert the route manually would be good. Google isn't always right. Otherwise offer incidents within 10 miles of route, for example.

S70%
by S####:

not good - cannot be moved to the SD card, it should be possible since it is not supposed to run in background, cannot use current location as a start position, key in current and it trys to route you from a location in Japan, :) search would be better if you could make it search for all incidents on a single road e.g the A303 or specify locations such as M1-J10. Uninstalled mainly due to the SD card deficiency.

All you idiots complaining, learn how to use it. It's awesome. I'd suggest setting an alarm that checks traffic between a certain time and notifies me if traffic on route. I only need it from 7am-830am and 530pm-6pm if it checks and notifies me during these times that would be good.
