Pros and cons of City of Calgary Roads app for iPhone and iPad
City of Calgary Roads app good for
Need more cameras. Especially southern deerfoot. Some cameras have been "offline" for months also. If te app has cameras in an area you plan on traveling through then it is useful!
As someone who rents a house with street-parking only, this app is incredibly useful! Now I dont have to constantly call 311 or go out to the street to see if I have to move my car for the plow!
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.
This app is really helpful when it comes to snow route parking bans, and thats literally all I use this for. I love it.
Some bad moments
There is major flooding (for Calgary) happening, and the City of Calgary website says to use their apps to check for road closures. Well guess what? There are none listed on this app specifically for Calgary roads! There are no parking bans listed, the last "update" was from April 24 saying how the snow appears to be gone, and the pictures from the traffic cameras havent been updated since yesterday at 15:35. I dont see how this app could be much more of a failure, at one of the times when it is actually needed the most!
I would like to apply for the job of the person responsible for updating and maintaining this app. Cameras never work and right now we have major road closures in city but app has not been updated for 6 weeks. Imagine a job where you got paid to do nothing.
Weve just had the disaster floods of the century and nothing is updated on this about Calgarys road and bridge and transit wipe outs! Duh?
No updates in 3 months. Including State of Emergency called due to flood.
The updates always appear to be at least a week old. My last update was from April 24. And we have had the major flood which closed down major roada
The ease of use is definitely not there. Other apps are more user friendly (ie/google maps). Dont waste your data on this one...
