WV 511 Drive Safe

Cameras not in app so far nothing on my phone can view the web cams on the main site

This "hands free" app only gives conditions for current area not an outlook to areas you plan to travel into. The website is more informative, but useless without wifi/Internet signal unless you have the regional carriers (AT&T data roam limited to 50mb cuts off all data roaming after that). A professional driver needs to know all road conditions for the routes on their trip. Why would an OTR driver kill all the space on their phones with useless 511 apps for every state?

Gives no advisory for 10 mile long traffic jam I'm setting in!

Would not recommend. No access to maps, audio only.

This app tracks your speed and location. Big brother wants your information. This app sucks

I'm unable to view traffic cams on my mobile browser. So I thought off I downloaded the app I'd be able to see the traffic cams. Nope only thing you get is voice recording saying rd maintenance from 8am to 4pm. This app would be good if we could see the cams.

Keeps crashing, wish this app would work as described.

App will not download or install...FAIL

The website shows bad road conditions due to weather but the app fails to provide this information vocally. Waze is better for current road conditions.

App plays a recorded status update of limited information. Weather advisory was not available. Recording is only audible by putting phone to ear. There was no option (readily available) to put it on speaker phone.

Great app and website to know, see the road conditions, accidents, closures, and detours.

The description of the application says, "In the settings menu you can customize the app to play advisories for specific roadways and adjust the advisory replay interval and the number of miles radius for which you are interested in receiving advisories." however there doesn't seem to be any way to access these settings. I'll rate higher if this is fixed or clarified, and if it performs well in testing. [Edit: With the update, the setting menu, wrench icon, now becomes available. Sometimes it takes a while, though, as it seems to depend on how quickly the application is able to determine the current location. My only annoyance with the application now is that it remains in portrait orientation while it's in my car dock, which is landscape orientation. Reading the interface sideways takes some practice.]

Great app that does exactly what is described. I cannot fathom why people would be complaining about not having any video. COME ON PEOPLE, you are supposed to be paying attention to the road and your driving, not playing with your phone. This morning it gave me two advisories, pinpointed by the mileage markers. All I had to do was listen. No taking my eyes off the road or fiddling with a map. I only wish that the app covered other states as well. Job well done by the developer(s).

I honestly have no idea what some of the other reviewers are talking about. We just passed a law prohibiting texting and they want video and maps on a DRIVING app. And the description says no video. So why post a rating on a feature that's not mentioned? I'm OK without wrecking while checking where that wreck may be on a map. And of course it's going to have the features of the website. Know why? Your data usage would go through the roof and you'd stop using the app since you can't afford the data. And it does indeed have a "settings" area. It's the graphic of the wrench that's smack dab on the main screen near the top, in the middle. So, not misleading. It's all there, and does exactly as it's supposed to. So as far as extra frills and stuff I don't need, I'm fine with it considering all those taxes we complain about....they paid for the app to be free and does exactly as promised. Sure, it can get an upgrade. But for now, it's a minimalist app that does what we need now. Too many bells and whistles now means a nightmare if there are issues and the app being useless. For being free and doing precisely what the description says it does, five stars for now.

If weed could see the map that is on the wv511 site, that would at least be something.

Never has any updates

Updates concerning traffic conditions are getting better.

Never alerts to mass congestion in some places.

No video this app sucks

The concept of this app is wonderful. The execution is a little off. It needs to show location on a map or be integrated with google maps. Any incedents can have a dot. Press the dot see/hear the report. If your driving toward a report it automatically alerts you.

Without traffic maps and/or traffic cameras, it's kinda USELESS. When we travel we like to check out the traffic ahead of us and we always use traffic cameras and traffic maps so we can make plans for alternate routes in advance to avoid sitting in traffic.

I thought it would be more like the website with maps, cameras, etc. let me know if you guys ever do any updates, uninstalling until then.

Snow everywhere and no problems given by app. 1 star because it won't let me give 0.

Keeps crashing, wish this app would work as described.

Nice idea but... Keeps crashing, wish this app would work as described.

Confusing interface & misleading description The description of the application says, "In the settings menu you can customize the app to play advisories for specific roadways and adjust the advisory replay interval and the number of miles radius for which you are interested in receiving advisories." however there doesn't seem to be any way to access these settings. I'll rate higher if this is fixed or clarified, and if it performs well in testing.

Poor Horrible app keeps crashing skip yourself deleting it later,don't download

Good start A step in the right direction. Will update after a week or two of testing.
