City of Calgary Roads App Reviews

Nov 11 and the update info is from April ?????

Pretty much useless. Very slow loading and moving between screens. The only thing that works is the traffic cameras.

Not sure what the point of this app is. It does not provide current road conditions or accidents. If you like to see the locations of all the snow plows this app is for you.

Yet another upgrade failure...doesnt open, doesnt connect to anything just spins its wheels and takes up space...

It tells you where cameras are, where snowploughs / sanding trucks are, and which routes are "priority" - presumably for snow clearing, which is every major road in the city. It doesnt indicate which roads have been ploughed, which are closed, the locations of accidents, or any other traffic flow information. It does NOT help me plan my commute.

I have barely been able to use the app because it either crashes or doesnt load. And just like every other city of Calgary map it starts loading at the world or continent level.

This app is great for being informed about snow route parking bans! It pushes a notice when the ban is in effect. There are a few optimizations that could be done (map responsiveness), but its a simple and useful app even if you install it and forget about it.

Am I missing something? I expected to be able to enter a destination address in Calgary and have the app suggest the best route in real time based on current construction, accidents, weather, etc. My standalone GPS can do that so obviously the technology exists. If this app cant do that its of no use to me.

I have recently been using the City of Calgary website to get up to date news on crashes in the city to plan my route. I was hoping this app would do that. As mentioned before this app is useless.

Congratulations on creating a totally pointless and useless app. Great if you just want to look at a traffic camera....IF it works.

Its December and the latest updates are from April...STILL! I tried to use this app to find a way home during the June flood and gave them the benefit of the doubt that they might have had other priorities that day. But now I want to know if its safe to drive following the December blizzard... And there is still NO update. Useless.

Extremely slow to load... if it loads at all that is. Data is not at all current. The push notifications run about 2-3 days behind. None of the traffic cameras in south Calgary even work. Doesnt tell you actual road conditions.... what is the point of a road conditions app that doesnt even tell you the road conditions? How did this app even get approved? This app needs a complete rebuild, just like city hall.

Crashes, loads very slowly, and when it does laid it is pretty much useless. For a "world class city" this is certainly a pathetic app. Come on City Hall surely you can do better than this.

This app is really helpful when it comes to snow route parking bans, and thats literally all I use this for. I love it.

No traffic. Cams dont work. Waste of time.

Useless and a waste of time. Should be more like the AMA road condition site which gives current specific road conditions, but doesnt. Come on city IT geeks kick it up!

Crashes often, doesnt open all the time, slow when it does work. Cameras are nice but showing all roads in red even when they are not bad is confusing.

I wanted to like this app, but its WAY TOO RIDICULOUSLY SLOW. And its kind of ugly, and not updated for iPhone 5 or iOS 7. Heres a hint.. Get a real designer. Heres another hint.. Get a developer who understands mapping.

Doesnt load or crashes. Absolutely useless for traffic conditions and accidents. Will be deleting the app for more space on my phone. Frustrating...

Totally typical of the City of Calgary. Create something ridiculously awful and pretend its wonderful. Like 311. Just something to make us think they actually care so that they can go on ignoring what citizens want. The app is too slow to be helpful. Will be deleting.
