Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Best app for road conditions.

    By Stradic9 (Pcmac user)

    This app is awesome! We all want to know what condition the roads are in before we head out in the winter. This app let’s you see the actual road pictures from the highway camera’s. Additionally, you can get inside the plow truck and see the actual road images from the plow truck dash cam! The people that rate this app low don’t understand how the hwy Dept works I guess. They’re expecting someone to physically be out walking every mile of road and live teeeting the conditions. That’s not how it works. Have you ever started your car on a cold morning and the dash reads “Ice possible”??? That’s because it’s using the outdoor temp to make this assessment. Same thing here. There are weather stations throughout the state that are reporting the weather conditions. These stations have live camera feed as well as the plow trucks too. No better way to check the real, physical roads than that!
  • Not Helpful for Winter Driving

    By BennyX6379 (Pcmac user)

    This app is no help at all for determining if roads are safe to drive on during winter. It's ridiculous that the only options for road conditions are "normal," "partially covered," "completely covered," or "travel not advised." Other states' road condition maps (I've used Montana and North Dakota) have way more information: they tell you if it's icy, slushy, snow covered, foggy, windy, and more. There's a much more of a range in winter driving conditions than "partially covered" or "completely covered" (with what?!) and I can't understand why a northern state would not have a better map system to keep drivers safe and informed in the winter. the app's app is very subpar and MNDOT needs to do a major update. Look to the neighboring states for examples and fix this for all Minnesotans.
  • LOVE this app!!!

    By gingerlee44 (Pcmac user)

    If you’re dealing w/the April blizzard today this app might save you! You can see what the roads are like via traffic cams along your route, it tells you everything that’s happening on roads from crashes, closures, speeds, etc as it’s happening. I love that the app will ‘talk’ tell you what’s happening so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road. Very simple and easy to use app. Great design, smartly done. Thank you!!
  • Not impressed

    By Starz56636 (Pcmac user)

    I check the roads every time i want to leave. Today at 11:15 am it told me the roads were normal.... guess what they were icy as hell. I looked at the update time and it was between 3 am and 6 am. That’s dangerous that you dont constantly update road conditions. It snowed this morning and it wasn’t taken into consideration. I depend on knowing current road conditions to safely travel. In the past i have noticed this same problem: road conditions are not current! Hwy 6 north from deer river still hasnt been updated since 3 am this morning it is 3:03 pm now and the road is slick! Im supposed to be able to depend on this app for my safety.
