511 Wisconsin 4+

When I found this app to download, i wondered how it could have such a low rating. Now I know. I only use it while passengering, so I don’t mind the zooming, etc., but what I DO mind is that every 12 seconds for no discernible reason, the map disappears and I get a big “Call 511” button.

I don’t want to call you, that’s why I got the app.

So I close out the “Call 511” window and go back to the map. 15 seconds later, it pops back up again. Make it stop. If I wanted to call you, i would call you. It’s sad because the MN one is excellent and to go from one to the other illustrates just how bad this one is.

I use this app for seeing road conditions around the state, not for me but for work. I am a purchaser. I get a lot of freight deliveries. App used to allow me to enter the WI511, now it wants to track my location and talk to me about road conditions. I don’t need that. I work 5 min from home. I would be more likely to get into an accident if my phone just turned on while driving. Very disappointing to see the change. App has no option to decline tracking.

Tried to use the app to check the road conditions and it wants me to allow tracking and other notifications, but I don’t have an option to not allow it. It states it as “if you would like” but the only option is to click allow to move on. I don’t need these, I only want to see the road conditions. Deleted the app right away and will find another way to see conditions.
