Improved
The 3.0.2 update made the app usable for the first time.
Dies on launch
I guess I can’t really review this properly because is doesn’t even launch “something went wrong, try again”. As someone who pays for the overpriced express lanes ( we’re paying a private company to use a road …) this app should be one of the best in the store. But here we are, regular people getting taken advantage of…
Travel map is not usable
The travel map with all entry and exit points are not clear. Also once you choose an entry and exit point, there is no way to change it.
Useless
There are massive stretches of 95 that have no entrances to the express, only exits from it. If you're driving from Dumfries to Richmond, you're absolutely screwed and this app will NOT inform you of where the entrances are.
Abysmal failure
A good app would show you which direction the entries and the exits are. It would also allow you to plan a trip showing you where to get on and where to get off starting at points not on the expressway hands. In addition to that it would also allow you to find which direction the lanes were at various different times of the day during the week. This is worse than useless! Removing the app. I would give it less than one star if I could. Don’t waste your time!
Need to save routes
Things I care about: 1. How much will this trip cost ✅ 2. Can I quickly determine the cost for a frequently used route? 🚫 Good news, this app can tell you how much the tolls are at a given time. Cool. BUT... It often makes me log in which is not easy to do because I’m at a red light someplace about to get onto the highway and that’s not a great time to have to remember my username & password. Then I have to determine the cost by selecting from a drop down menu my entry and exit points. The feature to save a route (the only reason I created a login in the first place) is now missing (or not obvious). We pay A LOT of money to use these lanes. It would be nice to have some of that money be directed back at this app.
Update Needed
While it does give you the current toll prices, it's not easy to get to them especially while commuting. The experience needs to be simplified. Also, the saved routes does not work. Even if you are able to enter the correct entry/exit points, it won't recall them. With all the money being made on these lanes, you'd think the app would be halfway decent.
