Idaho 511 for Android
Very handy for checking on road conditions before driving to SE Idaho from Boise.
8-21-2017 Solar Eclipse Day. All cameras have failed on Highway 55. No notices on site. Just failure.
It's not live or even current. Not exactly helpful.
Needs updated road conditions not conditions over a week old
Tried looking at road conditions before I traveled only to find that it was last updated 10 hrs ago. It's January and snowing, I'm pretty sure the road conditions have changed in the past 10 hrs.
I Have To Drive Home. What Good Is An Update 9 Hrs. Old? I Know Hwy. 51, To My Home Is Closed Down. Because My Darlin Told Me, Not, ID.511.
App is great WHEN it's current. Hardly ever updated. Need to know road conditions right now, not what they were a day ago.
It's is such a great app for the winter when traveling around
New version stinks! I know the route and need to get condition info quickly. This version won't do that.
It's nice to have, when and if it works. Half the time the cameras are not currently working. I rely on this because I commute and hour to and from work.Needs to update more often.
Have used the website via phone to check conditions, now the app makes it that much easier.
Tried 3 times to install it. It won't install. Gave up after 30 minutes.
Road report and real time updates. Not very informative.
This app gives very little info basically useless.
Hardly ever updated basicly useless
Gives updates for things I already drove through. Wish it could filter to only alert for activities that are approaching

LOVE IT!!!!!
I am so appreciative that even though I live far from my birthplace, I can view Idaho's beauty in winter and summer and various times of day through this app. When a person feels homesick, this quick look can almost help one breathe some mountain air or listen to a rushing river once again. I am deeply grateful for the app, not only for that reason, but also to look at road and weather conditions for my family and for myself when I am privileged to drive in Idaho.
I would like to be able to enter departure and destination cities to see those alerts that are pertinent.
This is a handy app for quickly seeing road reports, camera views, traffic conditions and winter driving conditions... all of which are displayed as different "layers" that you can select in any combination. I have but two complaints. One... periodically it crashes when you launch it. If you launch again, it will (in my experience) launch OK. Of more significance to me is that it appears that the map makers don't think towns off of interstates matter enough to get their name on the map. For instance, neither Arco nor any other towns for many miles around are shown. You can use the search feature to look for such towns, but if you are more familiar with the location of towns than the names of the highways in the area, then you may have trouble identifying the part of the road you are interested in. IMHO, they really need to add labels for more towns. In a rural state like ID, having a threshold based strictly on population size isn't that helpful. Perhaps better would be to display the name of the largest town in any given 75 mile area. Or give the user a choice regarding the size of towns they want to get identified on the map.
Very well done, but without the weather data associated with many of the camera sites the app seems incomplete. I still have to go to the mobile version of the main Web site for that data. Add the weather data and you've got a 5 star app.
This is a quick and easy way to get road conditions. Great app!
Love everything about it except it crashes at launch, a lot
Have used Idaho 511 website for winter road conditions for a while, have wondered why it wasn't an app. Now it is, and it is great! So much easier to use than the website on a phone browser!
App is very useful. I drive for a living, & I like to know what conditions are in the areas I'm driving. This app shows me all the pertinent information I need to know.
Everything seems to work right and it has useful functions. I know this is meant strictly for ITD's infrastructure but heading into construction season made me think it would be awesome if ITD had future plans to incorporate county road districts information.

Works great.

Some bugs. Keeps announcing "height restrictions" through some construction areas. They are actually width restrictions according to the actual IDT website. Also, does not shut down and keeps making announcements unless I manually force shutdown. The only advantage this app seems to have is traffic cams which Waze doesn't have. But the cameras only update every several hours so it's kind of useless.
