Sigalert.com - Live traffic reports App Reviews

We love this app. We always check it before we head out. I live in north county in San Diego and the 5 is always backed up. So it allows me to choose the the freeway or Coast Hwy when needed. I recommend it all of my friends and family. I like the live updates.

If you want yesterdays traffic info. Seriously pointless. I would rate zero stars if possible. Not even worth free. Its slow, incorrect, and just all around the worst app ever.

This was a great app until the traffic cameras disappeared suddenly. Please bring back the traffic cameras.!

Used to work great. Lately it is hardly accurate and now the map wont even load more than half the time.

Used to work, but lately Ive noticed road closures in SoCal not appearing on app and accidents/slow traffic not reporting either. Ive experienced several times where road was green or yellow, and traffic was at a crawl or dead stop. Not worth the risk, there are better apps out there.

The map doesnt load anymore

Peak hours, it is not working at all . Love the app. But

Update: Nov 2014. Big gray screen instead of the coverage map on iPhone 4s running iOS 8. Boo. I use this app five days a week and its behavior is erratic. When it functions as expected, it is great, and saves me the stress of sitting in traffic longer than I need to. But the app is buggy: Maps partially load, and at other times do not load at all; portions of freeways are coded red for heavy traffic when in fact the reverse is true; and the app crashes if you leave it running in the background for more than 90 minutes. With the last update the app creators also removed much of the incident details surrounding accidents and ramp closures (what you see in the third screenshot above) . Where they used to list the issue plus CHP or tow truck updates for an accident, now they only list the bare bones of info - data anyone listening to the traffic report on their local radio station could get. I used that info to determine whether I continued on that freeway or detoured to surface streets. It was a valuable tool that now is gone.

I subscribe to Sigalert on an annual basis so that I can preprogrammed routes and access them from the app. All of a sudden, Im getting "Oops" errors every time I try to use it and the map wont load at all (even when on WiFi or full LTE). I actually deleted the app & tried to reinstall, but the app wont even start to download now. I just renewed my subscription and am now feeling like it was a waste of $20. Not sure if the app developers havent updated this for iOS 8 or what, but the app is useless for me in its current condition.

This app is awesome!!! Me and my dad had to get home from Vallejo, CA to Windsor, CA on thanksgiving weekend and traffic was gridlock. We got on parts of the freeway when it was smooth and took back roads when it was gridlock thanks to sigalert!!!!! We saved hella time!!!

Decent app for traffic although I have noticed it isnt very accurate it will say the roads R green when its a parking lot and vice versa, also the link to accident info on the map crashes often

This is the third consecutive day this app has not even been within 30mph of being right. App said freeway moving at 30-35mph. Actual speed is 0-5. Dont get this app. Garbage

App said the freeway was "green" i.e. Flowing freely... Not amazing to look at when sitting in 6 lanes of stationary traffic... F U sigalert!!!!!

Ive been using this app and website for years. And Im paid member. I love it and I cant do my job done without this (Im limo driver in LA). There use to be too many buttons all over screen and covered map but not anymore. Last thing irritating me is that it sowed "your location service is off. Turn it on for ...." Every time I turn this app. I have reasons to not turn location service for Sigalert. Once is enough ! Dont tell me what I do about location service every time I turn on app!.

This app used to be the best but now its so faulty. Too many errors and glitches. When I click on the camera it bounces me back to the app. When I try to click on the red diamond alerts it bounces me back to the map. Over the last year it seems that Sigalert is no longer the best. Someone needs to update it and make sure it works correctly.

There is a giant ad blocking the map that makes this app useless

This app is a waste of time. It used to be good and right on the mark. By the time this thing actually updates to give you current traffic youre already sitting in it. Theres better options out there. Whoever created their app made their money that they were looking for and then gave up on it.

Despite living in an area of 300,000+ people with traffic jams on an hourly basis, this app tells me that I am outside its coverage area. Gee, its nice to know that unless I live in Vegas or Sacramento, I dont exist. Useless piece of junk.

It never right so useless

This is a great app, except for one new flaw. In the details of an incident, there is now [translations] of the shorthand used by CHP. These [translations] are actually confusing. It was easier to read before all the [s] appeared. The glossary works very well to figure out any shorthand. Especially when the [translation] is incorrect. These [translations] appear to be computer inserted, and cannot tell if a shorthand is necessary. Example: The word or is used, as or... But the [translation] stuck in Order Number. I know that is minor, but that is just an example of 1 error I saw this morning.
