It won’t even let me register..........

ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA does not show where traffic is moving slow or stopped. Cameras seem to work about 10% of the time why develop an app for something that is useless?

by Hurguy

Many of the cameras do not work much of the time, therefore more trouble than it is worth since have to keep clicking on a camera to locate one that is working in the area you interested (I am mainly interested in Mobile / Mobile Bay / Daphne area). Would be nice if you could tell which cameras not workng without having to first click on it, even better would be if they got the cameras to work. Nice in theory though.

Completely useless app.
Trying to get home today, ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA says “No Events Ahead” on my route. A mile later and traffic is at a standstill. Two hours later I am finally able to see the issue. It’s a multi-car accident. All the while ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA is telling me “No Events Ahead.”
Useless.

You have to close ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA and reopen to get a current view. All the top reviews were years ago. No recent updates. Looser app.

Unable to delete ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA; so if one no longer wants it he is out of luck. One can delete the icon off the phone and disable ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA under settings but the texts notices keep coming. Very annoying!!

Downloaded specifically for road conditions since entire State covered in snow and ice. Highs in mid 20’s all day. Husband had to go to work. Last night, major news stations advised all roads were closed, specifically by county. Now it’s 8am the next morning and there’s nothing on app about weather. Nothing showing if roads are open? Closed? Nothing about weather at all, yet it’s been on news nonstop. ALDOT & ALEA with developers, surely they know ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA does not offer same capabilities. Now they’re sites aren’t updating. Tried website from mobile and that was also a bust.
I do see great potential if can cover all of Alabama, by County like ALDOT provides in past. They’ve had No updates to their page since 9/2017; now 1/2018. They advise people to use ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA. If so, app should have app same capabilities. The people in rural areas are important too. People need to know. Are the roads open? Closed? Are roads covered in snow? Iced spots/areas? Granted this info isn’t needed often, but it is critical when it is. I zoomed into our area and still saw nothing. Yes we can use News to get info, but shouldn’t have to if ALDOT/ALEA advising to use ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA. Typically, AL Major Highway 280 is not considered a rural area, so where’s 280’s info?
•Looks great for traffic on main interstates, nothing else.
•Still cannot find Key legend.
• Definitely NOT user friendly.
• Shows Major Interstate traffic. If that’s all you need, great. Just don’t count on anything else.

All I am getting is that fact that there are rip tides. Cannot get road traffic at all.

Downloaded ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA . Can’t register. Won’t accept the PW I setup or the one ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA sent me. Sad.

I have had ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA for one year. My boss has the same app. I try to look at the cameras and mine doesn’t work 90% of the time bust my bosses works all the time. I believe it’s a waist time.

On the computer the algotraffic works great. It won’t load my profile on ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA however so I can’t see any traffic issues.
Update: app on iPhone won’t work. “Can’t load profile”

by Britt8485

Won’t let me register and it used to use gps and show me where I was now it won’t. What good is this if it can’t show me things before I get to them so I can find an alternative route?

by Jwooooowwwwwwww

I use ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA when I’m traveling from Mobile to Birmingham, and back and ever since it underwent “system maintenance” I haven’t been able to view crashes. I hope this issue is resolved soon.

This is a great resource to have for anyone that drives!

App continues to improve - I like knowing which side of the road the accidents or road delays are located. We often are towing and it’s not that easy to be switching lanes in traffic with a 30 ft trailer behind you. I’d give it a five stars if the traffic cameras would show up on map (see the Tennessee app) for visiting cities where we don’t live and aren’t that familiar with street names and intersections to have a better clue as to which cameras to look at for information. (Dropped the rating to three stars after reading developer response - don’t want another account/app that I have to sign in and agree to be tracked with an email address attached to it - it’s not required in the several other states that I use regularly ). App layers option finally worked without having an account. Thank you

As a traveling sales rep, I spend a ton of time on the road covering the state of Alabama. ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA helps me figure out where roads are closed (Downtown Birmingham, anyone?) and where there’s construction!

by Granna52rolltide

I stumbled across the Algo Traffic app and so glad I did! I can see live traffic cameras and wrecks around the state. I never knew this was a thing. Aldot has really impressed me with ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA. Algo is a traffic app I can’t live without!!

It's obvious a lot of thought and effort has gone into ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA. Kudos!
Using it to travel I65 from Huntsville to Orange Beach, AL. Nice to know what's ahead.
Nitpicks:
Exit numbers on the interstates would be nice.
Does weather function work? Heavy rain all over state from tropical storm Cindy but no indications on map.

ALGOTrafficbyALDOTALEA is great when on the road
