Iowa 511 App Reviews

you’re so helpful thank you so much

SO helpful during the winter to see the road conditions and where the plows are at. Thanks!

I had Iowa511 on my old phone, didn’t put it on my new one. I lasted about two weeks, got bottled up in a traffic snarl yesterday and immediately loaded a new copy to the phone. It was a big help. By the way, I was a passenger and not the driver. I don’t text and drive…

Used this app on 11/28 through 11/30 while traveling in Iowa. It is great, loved the camera features on the road trucks and interstates. Very useful to see actual road conditions.

More times than not this is very inaccurate information.

Thank you all so much for this app! We have young drivers and it is so helpful to know when the roads are safe for everyone in our family. A lot of work has gone into this app and we really appreciate it!! I’ve seen many recommend it, on an ISU parent page as well, for students traveling back after winter break…lots of people praising the app! Thank you!

This app sent me alerts in real time this week and it saved me time and grief not once but several times! I was informed of major traffic conditions that caused accidents and resulted in tow bans across in my local area. I was able to inform my clients to stay home instead of attempting to drive to my office, and they were grateful that I cared enough to reschedule. A+ 511 thank you!!

I love this app! Just moved to Iowa and not used to snow or the road conditions that follow. This app gives great insights about the roads and has great functionality.

This is one of the things I love about living in Iowa. Four seasons are wonderful, but the havoc that can be played by mother nature is sometimes terrifying. 511 takes the guesswork out of the dangers of driving during storms. The video cameras show real time footage of road conditions on all major thoroughfares. It's one thing too read that roads are partially covered, but it's another much better thing to actually see the condition of the road. A picture is worth 1000 words!

I will be a dissenter with all the negative reviews on this app. I found it very easy to use and the different layers are awesome. I accessed a few cameras and played the live feed without any issues. Will definitely keep this app handy for any travels access IA.

Great website, easy navigation, great location information. I grew up in Iowa and now work for Washington DOT. The winter information gives a great snapshot of road conditions. Be safe and give the roadway workers space

It’s helpful to see road conditions and traffic speeds but I have to unselect and reselect the boxes for it to show every time I open the app.

The red and pink are pretty close in shade and difficult to tell the difference unless they are right next to each other
