Do Not Rely on Road Conditions
I primarily downloaded this app for winter driving conditions. However, the accuracy of the winter driving conditions is abysmal, particularly in greater Minnesota. It’s a shame that this is the case, as the app otherwise has great features.

Not reliable
This app is not reliable. On 1/19/26 it reported the road I take to work “travel not advised “ except the roads were fine. Today it shows normal driving conditions except the roads are icy. Sometimes the app doesn’t update and the website shows different information.
