California Road Report

Adam, I’ve been using your app for years and it’s by far the best one out there. I use it every day in my personal life and when working as a 911 Paramedic. It’s sometimes better than the information we get from dispatch when flying to the scene of an emergency. I truly appreciate your work. I’m still wondering why the app goes down more frequently now? , but I’ve been using it since I was an 911 ambulance Paramedic, when it really helped, but I’ve been using it without a subscription because I don’t really need the advantages it offers, but I’ll be buying a subscription for a year after finishing my message. It’s the semi frequent downtime that has me concerned. Keep up the great work! Thank you!

I finally opened this app for the first time this season to check chain control and was surprised to discover the subscription model had been implemented for things that were usually free. I initially balked, for about five minutes... then remembered that I had been using the app for years for free, so the small yearly fee didn’t seem unreasonable and I signed up. I live in the mountains, so I normally use this app for chain control notifications and CHP incidents along the long mtn highways to prevent me from driving to the bottom of the mountain, only to discover a crash and closed road at the bottom. It works great, especially in driving mode when it reads the incidents out to you. The app does other things too, but I’ve never used those features so I don’t know how well they work. But if you live or travel in snowy conditions, this is the easiest way to find chain conditions, and is well worth the yearly fee for this feature alone.

Update: Nice to get a response from the developer indicating he’s working on updating this app. The highway camera feature has been restored. Thanks! . . . . WHERE ARE THE HIGHWAY CAMERAS?!?! This app WAS great until I installed the latest update yesterday. Now when I select highway cameras, there’s nothing there (says “0”) I really relied on the visual especially of those highways in the high country. Such a bummer not to have them. Please bring them back! I downloaded this app the other day as we were planning a trip over Donner Summit and I wanted to stay on top of the road conditions. Each time I checked, the info was current with the requirement for chains/snow tires and the storm conditions. The app is easy to navigate. You choose from the list of either interstate highways, state highways or other roads. You then get up to the minute conditions. Perfect! I also like that you can link to the highway cameras that are available for that highway to get a visual of conditions. Also, information is provided for rest stops and what amenities are available. Thanks for a great, reliable app!!
