511 Wisconsin

I downloaded this app today for a trip. I use 511MN and 511SD fairly regularly, which are both superior in every way. The only feature that the WI app has that the others don’t is navigation ability, which is really not needed as google maps, apple maps, Waze, and the like are ubiquitous. WI should focus on improving real-time information on road conditions, which today at least were inaccurate. We hit troublesome sleet and freezing rain around Dells, and the app said road conditions and travel times were normal

This app was really good and now recently this winter,there is a need for an update. They haven’t updated in a long time , so it is not reporting the current conditions accurately. The weather radar runs too fast and doesn’t pause. Won’t let you pause also, I wish they’d spend more time keeping it updated.

When I found this app to download, i wondered how it could have such a low rating. Now I know. I only use it while passengering, so I don’t mind the zooming, etc., but what I DO mind is that every 12 seconds for no discernible reason, the map disappears and I get a big “Call 511” button. I don’t want to call you, that’s why I got the app. So I close out the “Call 511” window and go back to the map. 15 seconds later, it pops back up again. Make it stop. If I wanted to call you, i would call you. It’s sad because the MN one is excellent and to go from one to the other illustrates just how bad this one is.
