I have the new iOS downloaded and now Wyoming511 doesn’t work

by Davidjschultz

I read a story that touted this new functionality on Wyoming511 , so I downloaded Wyoming511 . I tried to use the claim road kill function. Wyoming511 connected me with the department of fish and game computer system and had me fill in personal information. I filled in the information and the system froze. I tried this many times with same result. Another poorly implemented government system. What a waste of resources.

Map is covered with numbers making it difficult to see. No way to remove the numbers layer and they don’t even serve a purpose that I can figure out. No legend

Whenever I check it once and get out of it and come back to it it crashes every single time.

Wyoming511 takes way to long to upload data so it can be referenced. I can wait for over a minute and it still doesn’t show the data.

Every winter I redownload Wyoming511 so I know what the roads are looking like while traveling. It's been very dependable for the last three winters; however, this snow season it crashes each time I select to view the map. I have always highly recommended Wyoming511 , but with this issue I simply can no longer do so. I implore the developer to fix it quickly, as there are people who depend on Wyoming511 to make safe travel plans and decisions.

Just came from Buffalo to Tensleep. Wyoming511 had notice of “Commercial Vehicle Testing Operations,” so we called Buffalo DOT Maintenance about expected delays and were assured we’d notice almost nothing. Nowhere on Wyoming511 nor in our call was the 15-minute wait for a flag car nor the chip and seal operation with loose gravel that went from the Sheep Mountain Lookout Road to the Washakie County line with 45 mph speed limit. Nowhere was the 5-minute wait for flag car along Tensleep Creek with a drop down to mud for a short distance between the end of the canyon and Tensleep. NO INFO. Don’t trust Wyoming511. It’s not updated as it should be.

Even with new updates, there is quite the delay between launching Wyoming511 and being able to view the map.

Original review from July 4, 2018: It is slow to load the road data (I’m on a iPhone 7s and a fast WiFi connection) and it takes me to a menu first rather than just showing me the map.

Wyoming511 crashes several times while using it. The other issue I have with it is you can’t manually refresh the data to see new road closures or other data.

When viewing the map, the numbers clutter up your view of road conditions. Get rid of them so we can see the roads and we can click on them to get more info.

Haven't played with it much yet. Looks like a nice design.

You should seriously consider adding the ability to make ECAR reports through Wyoming511.
Of course not while driving, it could add a bunch of real time data. Especially if there was the ability to upload a picture, or short video of road spots that are in bad shape.
Let's face it plows and troopers can't cover everything all the time.

Loved Wyoming511 when it worked, but now it crashes as soon as I open it, while its updating the server data. I use iPhone 6. Hoping for a fix!

by Jay Atencio

It works great I use it all the time. Living in Wyoming it’s needed.

Wyoming511 shows conditions on both local roads and highways. I wish there was a stated color legend, but it’s fairly obvious, and you can click on icons to see current alert and condition posts. Drill down to city streets is great. I notice that I have to reload Wyoming511 if I have not used it in awhile— like most other apps. It works; an update in graphics would be good, but the actual detailed Hwy department data is indispensable.

The trucker who went astray on the high elevation Beartooth Hwy should have been using this.

Thank you for putting the time and resources into making Wyoming511!

by Retdogg

Title says it all. Try CDOT or UDOT. They are terrible compared to this. Is there room for improvement? Yes. But this is the most user friendly, functional interface in the Central Rocky Mountain area for sure. Shoutout to the developers for keeping it simple.

by Chillycolorado

This is way better than the website and phone in options of the past. I love the camera, weather sensors and road conditions. Great app for any Wyomingite!

by Maya Transportation

Wyoming511 is awesome! I really do wish they would add a way to create notifications for when roads open up or close down since sometimes they close without warning any time of the year. Notifications would be awesome!

by Sonev

I gave it 5 because it’s quick and easy to know exactly what the conditions are for any stretch of road. Excellent.

by Wyo App

Road conditions shown on app do not reflect reported conditions on wyoroad route for I 25 from Cheyenne to Douglas.

by Repete_71

Quicker and 100 x more info if you just look it up online. Typical Wyoming engineering.

by DieHard.

Other than the coal closure map. Wyoming511 is useless. I don’t even know if the closure info is correct. Lame

It's an ok app to start with. Wyoming has an excellent system of highway signboards that don't appear to be available in Wyoming511 ... yet. A great alternative app is Wyoming Traveler; that's my go-to app, and maybe one day the Wyoming 511 app will be as good, if not better.
