Deleted it. Someone must have hired a New Tech Student that doesn’t Drive anywhere!! The app is technically designed but it is Useless and Nonfunctional for anyone trying to commute anywhere. This was a good app. Design changes made it the worst interface ever!! Make it functional again.

If I could give less than 1 star. The latest major rework of this app is horrible. It is now impossible to determine where heavy traffic exists. Time to find a new resource because this one is completely useless.

Absolutely the worst app. This really was the best app for keeping up with traffic in and around Atlanta. I’m a First Responder and used the app a lot to get around trouble spots that would slow me down going to hospitals. Now it is just too complicated to use. It was that you could just open the app choose the area you were wanting to go to and look at the cameras to see if traffic was backed up and what was causing it. Now it won’t stop flipping pages to options and takes forever to load the maps. You can’t even look at the cameras without having to go through ten different steps. COME ON 511!!!!! GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL WAY THE APP WAS!!!!!

Slow and flawed. It is slow to load and refresh while scrolling. Also, zooming in and out on a set section of interstate can change the color from green to red and back to green.

Could be great but it's not. At all.. Too slow. Too clunky. Having an account doesn't actually save the same preferences as on the website. A way to favorite signs would be nice. A way to access favorite cameras saved on the website would be nice. A way to save commonly used drive times would be nice. Interface is dated and useless while driving. It had so much potential and is so disappointing. It's like someone said we have this data so let's make an app, rather than let's make an app that people will find useful.

Broken. Requires account but login does not work. Also you can tell the app isn't finished because they have notes for themselves to put info how to associate account and its not there!!!! It took how many years for the app to come back and it's broke!!!!!

Where’s the usefulness?. The data may be lurking in there somewhere - you just can’t find it (especially while driving!) It is EXTREMELY difficult to see the color coding (green/red), trouble indicators…..anything of use. Sure, big blue dots with numbers…. But what do those indicate? I’ve spent time with the app and the website - AND I work in tech, with a nod to UI/UX, and this interface is opaque, uninformative, and useless ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. Time to revisit the interface, team. Please. This app is of critical use in Atlanta.

Thumbs down. The new version is garbage and not user friendly. I used it quite a bit before the upgrade. I am now deleting the app because it’s useless and hard to navigate especially if I just want to view the cameras in a certain area. It was easy to find out where incidents were but that’s no longer the case.

Maps are great, if you're blind.. Trying to zoom in on a map, to find out where a problem is or where traffic is backed up is useless. Every time you try and zoom in, the map shrinks back down to very fine detail to such a point that you can't see anything. You're better off to just stick your head out the window and look around, you can see better that way then you can what the map has to show.

Not Worth It. After demanding registration just to SEE a public resource, the login doesn't even work. The previous version was far better--procurement should relook this development contract, if they can't fix it soon.

Great app!. I work in the Emergency Management field and this app is something that comes in handy during work and when I get off.

iOS 8 UPDATE Needed as interactive map - not. Since updating iOS 8 the interactive map no longer works. Other parts of app okay. Please update, large city like Atlanta requires programs like this - Thanks

Complete Failure App. This App used to work very well, and I used it daily. However, the several most recent updates have ruined it. It is now useless. Tap a camera to view it and the whole App crashes!!! They need to find a competent programmer to work this out and put it back together again.

Why is this thing STILL crashing?. It's been well over a month since it has started crashing. It's well past time to have this app fixed. I'm tired of getting stuck in traffic when I have this app which should benefit me.

None of the text shows up.. Updated to IOS 13 and none of the text shows up to know what to click. I can get the cameras to come up but I don’t know which cameras I am opening. Need an update so it will be useful again.

Login Not Required. Another reviewer said that login is required, as the app starts out with a login screen which is annoying. However, I simply clicked the Cancel button and it said, "Login Cancelled - Push notifications cannot be enabled without user login, do you want to continue?" If you continue the app works fine without logging-in and gives you access to the Maps, Cameras, Incidents, etc. Very handy app, but it should simply have a Login or Skip button at the beginning.

Horrible Downgrade. This is a completely useless mess. All I need to see are the hotspots on my route. Green, yellow, orange, red, dark red and black made sense. This is a confusing map of circles and numbers and lines that have nothing to do with my drive. Trying to read it will cause accidents. Please bring back the old app!

THE WORST UPDATE EVER!!!!. Before the update, 511 app’s interface was user friendly and practical. I checked the app before I got on the road every time I had to drive. Access to the cameras allows me to gauge traffic and the alerts were so helpful. After the update, this app is useless to me. Finding a traffic camera is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. Why make it so difficult to access them? And, don’t get me started about the hideous blue dots. What purpose do they serve? Why do I have to zoom into the dots and the. Zoom in even further to find a traffic camera? I used to be able to just locate the Hwy that I need and then find the traffic camera that I want to access. Why make the app more difficult to use? This update removed the ease, simplicity, functionality and practicality. Now, the app serves no real purpose at all other than to completely frustrate me. I’m so disappointed in this update that I will be deleting it immediately. Obviously, you failed to hire a developer/team that specializes in end-user design and real-world experience. Someone with actual experience using the app. Pls return the app to its previous version. This is one of the worst updates that I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely useless now. They took a previously very useful app and made it completely unusable. Just passed a multi-mile backup on the interstate that is not even depicted. And what are the numbered circles that obliterate the map? No information on the app or FAQ’s. Worst app I’ve seen in a long time. Previous longtime user but now deleting this “new” update from my phone.

Map. What used to be basic and simple is now so confusing & complicated. The map I used to click on showed red/yellow or green stripes of how traffic was running in live time. You just clicked on map and you could navigate anywhere on map and see it live. The update is so painful! No red/yellow or green lines, just a map with no info and if u click map it pops back within seconds to another screen that isn’t helpful at all. What’s going on? This isn’t user friendly at all, it’s actually more dangerous as we’re trying to find the easier logical map that no longer exists which takes our eyes off our driving and wastes time searching this terrible app now for nothing! IM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS NOW! I removed app cause it’s actually a major distraction trying to navigate it! Thx 511 for nothing!!!!!

Real time. Love the real time traffic cam can check the traffic before hitting the roads and avoid accidents roadways

Worthless. 511 was my go to for traffic avoidance. The update makes it useless. I have also deleted Waze because the union of the two negats them both.

Pretty good. But why are these giant blue dots so huge? I want to see where the cameras are but these blue circles block the view of the map. And then you have to zoom in way too far to zero in on a specific camera.

NEW UPDATE MAKES THE APP USELESS. We loved 511 for the simplicity and what it provided. You can’t find any of the old features and the app is the worst to navigate. Give us the original version back!!

It's a joke. I was just looking at the cameras and pinched picture to see time on screen. What a surprise! The date on the camera pictures is 1/14 at 12:30pm. Right now its 1/18 7:18pm. These camera views are BOGUS, you are not looking at live cameras. Makes me wonder if I'm looking at live traffic (red / green lines) on the map or if that's old too?

Getting better, but..... How about a tab for favorites that allows for the most used cameras, message boards to be saved in a quick access section? Another idea would be the option of notifications that we could set up pertaining to the routes we use the most. Keep the improvements coming!

Completely useless. This app used to really work well. You could search highways, construction, and for incidents on roadways. Now it does absolutely nothing. You can’t find any information on here.

Yikes. This app revision is awful. Why change what was working before? You can’t even see the map for all the blue camera dots. Can’t find local incidents like before. Just a hot mess. I’ll stick with Waze.

Congrats!. Wonderful new look has made this app virtually useless to me. I need to see the map and know where the hot spots & slow downs are so that I can avoid them. Can’t see crap on the new map other than the map itself. I’ve lived here my whole life, so I don’t need the map. Color codes need to be much bolder in order to see them otherwise they are useless.

I use it for the map. It's always up-to-date and show the traffic flow around town.

StateFarm Virus. Ever since version 1.6 where the "State Farm" logo was added, the app has been useless. It crashes on startup every time. Been waiting since then for an update that might fix it, but even the lastest one 1.7 that released yesterday has the same exact problem. Run the app, it goes to the menu sceen showing all the maps, cameras, etc... sits there for about 2 seconds and then terminates. Was a great app, used to use it all the time. Completely useless since version 1.6. No amount of restarting the phone or reinstalling the app seems to solve the problem. Is there an QA (quality assurance) on this app?

Improved App. This app had been improved to show current data. Now I can check the traffic on the go (not while driving). Thanks.

Useless. I live outside of ATL and found the app helpful when visiting. The latest update is a disaster. It’s like someone wanted to see just how well stuff could be hidden! Ugh!

WARNING! It doesn't work. I've been using this app for some time with no problem. Since they incorporated and pushed the big State Farm ads, the app crashes few seconds after you open it.

Huge disappointment. The 511 app used to be a great resource. I would check out the accident and construction areas in the areas I was going to be traveling. The cameras were helpful, too. Now, it looks like they’re trying to compete with some of the Map Apps. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to ditch a Map App that works all over the country for one that just does the state of Georgia. 🙄 Please consider returning to the earlier version of the app that was useful! I used to use this daily! Now, not so much!

Frequently Crashes. I like being able to see the cameras but there is no need for built navigation in this app. In addition to that odd addition the app constantly crashes every couple of minutes for no apparent reason.

State Farm Dud. The version before State Farm sponsorship was useful. As soon as the State Farm tag was added the app ceased to function. It turns off within a couple of seconds. It is worse than useless. Guess who I am not going to buy insurance from. ...and this has nothing to do with Obamacare which was slow out of the gate but is now working quite well. This app used to work before the sponsor was added but now is totally broken.

New changes make it useless!. New changes and updates make it completely too detailed to use to check flow around Atlanta. We didn’t need another gps. We just needed a way to see an overview of Atlanta. No longer useful AT ALL!

App crashes after the State Farm logo "update". After the update which added the State Farm logo, the app will not run and crashes every time. Please fix the app, as it is useless now. Really needs a zero star rating, as of now the app won't work at all. It was useful, before the "update" broke it completely.

New version is HORRIBLE. 1st off why fox something if it isn’t broke.. The interface used to b sooooo easy. Just click on cameras and then click on the highway u wanna look at and then scroll to what area of highway u want to c live. I was an avid looker of the traffic cams and now I can’t find sh.t…… u used to b able to swipe and I could see the actual live feeds for how ever far I chose… u can not do that any more. I’ve actually tried to call 511 and find out what happened and how do I look I cameras now. Even the worker who answered said yea, they made it incredibly hard…. GA511, please make it easy again to view the live cams so I can see if I wanna take a certain route or not!!!!

Helpful app!. Such a handy app when planning my commutes. Very well designed... This will be a frequently used app! Thanks, gdot!

Time saving app. I'm not sure what the griping is about. I can't ask more from this free app, gives me real time road traffic conditions & near real time traffic cam shots. Planning to travel around metro ATL, this app will save you some hassles

What a mess…. The latest “all new” update is quite the mess. Constant irritating slide over panels, numbers (what are these for?) all over the map, confusing navigation between pages, etc Seems that someone gave the directive to the developers to pack as much information as possible into the app, with ease of use and user satisfaction of secondary concern, a distant concern at that.

Useless just like GDOT!. The latest update has rendered this app completely unusable! I can barely tell what the traffic colors. And after you zoom into a certain level, the colors disappear completely. Brought to you by the same idiots who spent a billion taxpayer dollars for toll lanes that said taxpayers have to pay to use!

Horribly user un-friendly. This new version is horrible. It’s counterintuitive, do you have to zoom in so close to the circles to get the camera icons, if you’re unfamiliar with the area you’re looking at then you’re screwed. Once you do find a camera, you have to back out to the map to find another one. No more swiping left and right between cameras. Can I PLEASE have the old version back?

COOL TOOL!. With all the alternate routes needed to consider while navigating in Atlanta, this is the perfect tool to get a heads up on traffic conditions. Information is in real-time with GDOT cameras, and the maps are interactive, layered and current. Great job! - Thank you!

Horrible update a while ago!!. Now the app is completely useless. What a shame.

Pictures stopped refreshing on Jan 14. Hoping they'll fix this. The website appears to have changed on Jan 14th too. As of now this app is worthless.

Doesn't make sense. This app is useless and deserves no star. What's the point of adding streaming video in the latest update if the app won't stay on for 3 seconds without crashing. Make the app workable! Whatever company took care of this app 6 months ago, please buy it back.

Horrible. This app was really good before the update but since they done the update they overhauled the entire app and now it’s crap the cameras are saying streaming video error and that’s almost always don’t waste your time on this app.

Honestly... This app is just miserable to use. I have a sinking feeling that my tax dollars were spent on this. It may have even been coded by Nathan Deal himself. If you use this, prepare to be frustrated.

Thumbs down. Not user friendly. Just want to know about potential road closures after Irma. Deleting this useless app.

From good to useless…. The app were great easy to use the cameras Now I don’t even want to open the app..

Crappy app. Used to work fine. After State Farm, it no longer loads cameras and other functions. Plan on deleting app. Not even worth one star right now but can't put zero.

They ruined a good thing. The app was working great until a “fancy” update. Took user friendliness of the app and threw it into the garbage can. Please bring previous app back.

100% battery usage all day. No idea why - haven’t used the app - and it decided to go haywire and drain my battery. Is it the Apple Maps integration? Don’t know.

Useless. what a hunk of junk

Ga 511. They ruined it. It’s now a piece of junk.

Hilarious garbage mess. Ha.

Dumb. Way overdone screwed up update of what was a simple app that met the needs.

Crash-o-rama. Seriously useless, real drag

It crashes as soon as you open it. Don't bother. App crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME you open it after 2 seconds. Completely useless. I'm deleting...

Great App!. Georgia 511 is best app ever!!

Accident reporting?. It's hard to find a good traffic app these days…but sadly this is not one of the good ones. Accidents are almost never reported and the traffic conditions are inaccurate. Don't waste your time downloading.

Doesn't work on iphone. It worked well on my droid but it opens and closes immediately on my iPhone. I've got to find another app to get around Atlanta during rush hour.

2 years later, same app, same issues. The only new thing I’ll mention is that the new hurricane section is kinda helpful except the Evacuation Route maps are soooo small that they are barely legible. Come on guys & gals... it’s 2017. Who still writes apps that look like Windows 95?! Oh, and corridor reports are no longer a “new” feature so time to update the icon (speaks to the slop and lack of basic attention to detail and usability). Everything else I mentioned 2 years ago still applies... _____________________________ Basic Problems Still Unresolved ... and because they don't have a feedback feature, here's the problems that still haven't been addressed after all these updates: - maps load too slow because they use a lowest-level detail rendering (no matter how zoomed out) which takes a long time to load. Interactive map will freeze if you move around too much. - The corridor maps no longer center on the corridor - The traffic cam pics are too small if there is more than one feed under a camera icon - The individual left menu features (message signs, cameras, etc) have too many levels deep to get to the desired location of interest. The interactive map is the only useful way to use this app. + The new corridor maps are awesome! It allows you to focus only on the portion of freeway that you are interested in. I would recommend the developers actually use this app on an iPad at home broadband speeds before releasing a new version. It appears they only test it in an office with Gigabit ethernet.

Crashes. Crashes soon as I open it

Doesn't work. Not current or real-time at all

Doesn't work. Simply crashes on startup on my new iPhone 6 Plus. Worked, and still works, on my old 4S.

Very usefull!. Love this app!

Broken. Updated app crashes every time it opens.

Very Frustrating. This app is extremely frustrating to use. Tried to get it working in iOS7, but am having extreme difficulties. Crashes often, screens won't work. You might as well check traffic conditions while looking out of your car window as you drive around on the highway. You'll get better information.

Wanna see a crash?. Just tap one of the cameras on the map and magically witness this crApp crash before your very eyes.

Doesnt even open. This app doesn't even function at all. Every time I open it it freezes and closes.

Missing Some Message Signs. The app doesn't show all of the message signs for the main interstates. Specifically, SB 75 after Wade Green and NB 75 at Cumberland. I use the app to determine routes and cannot do that if the message signs are sometimes available and not available the rest of the time.

iOS 13 Dark Mode is Dark.. Love the idea of the app, need a way to favorite signs. And in dark mode, well the text is black, so it’s hunt and peck to see what’s what.

Lousy. Cameras don’t work and won’t stream. Just a jumbled mess of cameras that don’t so anything. Needs to be organized and streamlined

Terrible app. The new update is not user friendly. I go to google maps now. It’s better and easier to use, but I miss the cameras. Please redo this.

WARNING! It doesn't work. I've been using this app for some time with no problem. Since they incorporated and pushed the big State Farm ads, the app crashes few seconds after you open it.

Another GDOT failure. All I want is to see travel times from A to B. There is a section for that but it doesn't work. A blue screen of death sort of. Your tax dollars at work.

More Crashes than on I-285. This app crashes continually. Was this made by the Sane people that made Obamacare?

Junk. Old camera views

WHY??????????. Seriously folks what is the problem? This used to be a very helpful app and now I can't even get it to stay open. State Farm I don't know what you did but fix it!😡

Not good now. Are we being punked? Kidding right? This is now useless . I can’t see cameras. Read msg signs. Restore app back to its original.

Don't waste your time. Worthless. I can't decide which is worse... This app or the GDOT.

Videos??. Cannot get any videotape from cameras. Not liking this app at all! I have iOS 9.1 so it should work.

No incidents reported. GDOT has never been my favorite. This definitely reminded me of that. I was caught in a hour long back up due to lane closures on i75 sb that lasted for months and didn't show on the app at all.

Won't stay open. I would love to give it a five if it worked like the 511 Florida. Every time I open this one it closed after a second. Please advice

Almost useless. Perfect example of the quality you can expect from anything made for/by the government.

This App Does Not Work. Crashes everytime. What is the point of having it?

NEW UPDATE MAKES THE APP USELESS. We loved 511 for the simplicity and what it provided. You can’t find any of the old features and the app is the worst to navigate. Give us the original version back!!

Crashes. GA400 Mansell road ramp camera crashes app, but others are fine. IOS 6.1.3 on Ipad.

Login, seriously?. The site does not require login. Why does the app?

Ms. The 511 app keeps crashing after splash screen on my iPhone 6 plus. Taken off phone and re-downloaded it. Still crashes.

Doesn't work. Requires a user name & password that doesn't work. Can't set up from app. Need to use a pc & overall site is slow. Junk!

Slow. Someone ruined a great app. Slow and complicated. Cameras not working.

GDOT 511 - More like Atlanta. This WAS a good App! Now there's no information (incidents) for the rest of the state! Unless you're close to Atlanta, don't waste the down-load time.
