Caltrans QuickMap for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not accurateIt doesn’t accurately show all winter chain control locations on highways, or road closures.WhmscllVersion: 3.2.9

✓ App keeps shutting downTap on the app in shuts down, reload the app problem still exist.CrabappleracerVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Lives up to the CalTrans reputationI tried this app on a trip up 395. To my surprise it had the route closed due to weather, last updated 5 minutes ago! It was a 90 minute trip to the closure… But knowing a little about the CalTrans reputation, I decided to drive it to verify the closure rather than scrap my vacation. Turned out the “Road Closure” was a sign that suggested motorists carry chains with them. Had a great vacation. Deleted the app..DrBillyVersion: 3.0.22

✓ Crashing, repeatJust D/L this because of the crazy February storm in far Northern California (near OR, not Bay). App will not stay open - sends message about not operating in a vehicle - on my couch - and dies. Cannot use..BushibearVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Traffic camsWhy aren’t the traffic cams live why can’t they be video I hate the still images because they are not live and you can’t see cars moving can you please please update if you do I will give you 5 stars ⭐️!.VaccccuuumVersion: 2.5

✓ Poor substitute for San Diego Real Time Traffic map!The SDRTT map gives/gave you the colors, but also the real time data from the freeway sensors. Red is slow - so do you want the 10 mph slow route or the 2 mph slow route? You'll never know which is which with this app. This has many details, like each ramp and transition, but if it's backed up you don't have to zoom to the ramp to know it's clogged. The SDRTT map had/has a link to the current CHP activity in chronological order, so you could easily see what events were affecting your drive now without having to click on all of the events. Don't make the state maps like Google, make them like the SDRTT map! Give us more info, not less!.DucksoupSDVersion: 2.4

✓ App will not open any longerAs of today the app will not open or run, even after multiple deletes, restarts and installations..NotOnMyMacVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Unending Road ClosuresOnce a road closure shows up it never leaves. Example: a closure of the truck route by me from four days ago is still there. No wonder the trucks have been avoiding the truck lanes. The app is not updating. Bookmark the website and use that..C hoffmanVersion: 3.2.9

✓ They need to keep this update.There is no chain-up area on this map. Shows road is good. And I am sitting at a chain up area. I would not have left so early and started my clock. This map is a great way to screw truck drivers over on time. Some need to get off there hind end and keep this map update!!!!.Tired of trying namesVersion: 2.5

✓ Disappearing AppI have used this app for well over a year. Yesterday, the app refused to stay open. I click on the icon, the app pops open, then immediately shuts down. I have tried reloading the app four times, and rebooting my phone twice. It has not helped. What the heck is going on? It’s not of any use if it doesn’t stay open..Pam HobsonVersion: 3.2.9

✓ PLEASE UPDATE THE APP!Guys. Last update was a year ago?? Please, please, please. Update your app. There are so many issues and UI problems. Great place for valuable information but impossible to use given all the bugs in this app version..SeanCo.Version: 2.5

✓ Keeps crashingSaw a video for it so I thought I’d download it… but once I opened the app it crashed and closed so closed the app and tried again about 10 times (I also restarted my iPhone a few times and it keeps doing it. Please fix it.MortysmithismeVersion: 3.2.9

✓ The good and the bad and the mehVery helpful that this app shows the locations of roadside rest areas (which information can’t be found on Caltrans web site or Google Maps). But the information on road closures is wildly inaccurate, showing closures that don’t exist and missing those that do exist. This could actually be a danger to people who rely on it for mountain driving. The rest is just repackaged info from Google Maps and Waze, but since Quick Maps has so little accurate and useful info of its own, yours better off getting your traffic and incident info from Google or Waze.Mc510Version: 3.0.22

✓ When it worksI love the camera feature so I could see the actual roads. They used to work all the time But lately it’s touch and go. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. Hopefully this can be fixed. It’s been a long time since there’s been any updates..Senora FishermanVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Not So QuickCalTrans is slow to update conditions in the app. It is currently at least 12 hours behind their website..SloMtbrVersion: 2.5

✓ Decent Info - Hard to VisualizeI mainly use this app in the winter for drives between the Bay Area and Tahoe. I need to know if roads are closed, and where the start and end of the closure is. Currently, this info is only shared via text like this: “CA / NV Stateline - Gold Ranch - Closed to traffic” I wish this info was visualized on the map showing the exact part of the road that is closed..DontwannamKsVersion: 3.0.22

✓ Not current infoDownloaded this map to check the Grapevine closure. It opened at about 2:00 this afternoon. The app still says it’s closed at 7:00pm. Not helpful if it’s not up to date. The website has better information. Don’t waste your time with this app..Not current, waste of timeVersion: 3.2.9

✓ When it works it’s great but...Often times the CHP alerts, messages signs, and closures don’t show up..Meg0930Version: 3.0.22

✓ Crashes instantlyAs soon as you open it. It crashes instantly.939forlifeVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Totally broken after last updateSince the last update, this Quick Maps app now immediately closes whenever I try to open it. I’ve tried everything and I’m also running the latest operating system on my iPhone 13. Total fail people..KjcfhhfjdjcvnchshsVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Map icons are smallCan you make the icons bigger on the map so they’re easier to see where the various items of interest are cameras, chain controls, CMS etc..Mark&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Version: 3.0.22

✓ Great app if it worked - but it doesn'tWhen app is launched, it tells me not to use it when driving and then exits at once whether I'm pressing ok or not. Since I'm not driving anywhere, but just quietly sitting at the table, trying to find the snow conditions in Bear Valley, this is kinda frustrating and is making app totally unusable as a result..Unhappy customer 73Version: 3.2.9

✓ Ok butNot as useful as the old San Diego real time traffic report which was excellent. This version actually manages to give less information than the RTTR which you could zoom into a single freeway and get a list of actual freeway speeds. This gives you 4 colors instead and doesn’t tell what they mean. You have to guess what red means and exactly where the threshold between red and orange might lie likewise or age to green. Wow! high resolution: 3 bands and some other 4th unknown one. Versus mph list, no contest. However it is a pretty map, albeit lacking in info vs the old one, so if they add some definition of the colors without me having to google for them plus bring back the old speed list view as an overlay somehow then I’ll give it a five..HuuanitoVersion: 2.5

✓ CrashingNeeds update.IofgrVersion: 3.2.9

✓ App used to work but crashes immediatelyApp used to work but crashes immediately.Disgruntled123Version: 3.2.9

✓ Good butCan not tell when last updated. Critical with spotty cellular connection. I can not usually click on red symbol to get more info. Stuck in Mammoth and want to understand what is going in. Power line down, flooding, snow, wind, etc..ITunes PlayerVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Too bad it stopped working, during a major stormIf only it hadn’t failed and crashed during a major winter storm, you know when this app would’ve been the most useful. But since it did fail and crash this will has earned it the worse possible rating. Maybe try to make a app that doesn’t crash when needed most.HyggmhchtfkugutfkugutvkhfgjyVersion: 3.2.9

✓ IPhone Xr issues with location buttonOn iPhone XR, the location and refresh buttons stack on top of each other. This makes it hard to push the correct one. I can send screenshot if needed.Guod55Version: 2.5

✓ Super buggyWon’t stay open on my iPhone. Opens for a quick second, then it’s gone..Tehachapi LarryVersion: 3.2.9

✓ Only slightly helpful on its best dayThe information is always hours behind what gets posted by Caltrans on Twitter. Also, the camera I need on a daily basis for safety due to fog only works maybe 25% of the time. Basically this app is just frustrating and doesn’t help me..MegannMVersion: 2.5

✓ New fire layer uselessThanks a bunch, without perimeters the fire layer is completely useless. Great moment to make the change..AGM USAVersion: 2.1

✓ Feb 23 /// App stopped workingUse this app often. Always worked and was helpful. Specially long hauls for checking on open rest areas, cameras etc. as of today Feb 24,2023 the app has stopped working. Tried to redownload it and check for updates. So far no fixes. Hopefully they get this figured out..MotorcadeINTVersion: 3.2.9
