HighwayHippo

I'm a Bay Area and Sierra mountains driver. This app is the bomb!! I love that I can pick favorites and control the settings in order to place priority on highways I am currently tracking on. I also love the instant notifications. The only thing I'd change is being able to turn off and on regions I don't travel through (So. Cal). It sits near the top of the regions category and is so huge. I don't want to scroll past the 50 warnings and closures to get to the other regions for a general look at what's going on. I'll recommend this app to everyone I know!

Doesn't show what is happening in San Diego. The Sigalert app is better

I travel daily on the roads in the Sierra Nevada mountains for work and this app is a huge time saver. The Caltrans website is really clunky, especially on an iPhone. HighwayHippo is beautifully rendered and presents what you need in a easy to read format and you can drill down and get all the details. I'm giving this app 5 stars because not only is this app tremendously useful especially with push notifications of road closure and chain requirement CHANGES but I had also asked for a bunch of things in my review and it's awesome to see the developer taking to heart what I wrote! Thank you for continously supporting and upgrading the app! THE DEVELOPER LISTENED!! HERE'S WHAT HE ADDED!!! 1. ?Categorization of areas for favorite highways. I put I-80 in and I get everything along the freeway. I don't want/need bay area information for I-80. This is far worse for I-5 as you get everything border to border. You are already categorizing for highways below favorites so just do the same for favorites or better yet, let us filter in the highway selection pane. ?FIXED!! Thank you!?? 2. ?Prioritization of messages. Road closures and chain requirements should be at the top. Construction messages at the bottom or filtered. ?FIXED!! Awesome!!?? 3.???Push notifications ??❕ Let the app run in the background and refresh so we can get notified when a highway closes/ opens or chain locations move... FIXED IN LATEST UPDATE! I honestly didn't expect this one! Wow! This feature is what beats all other apps! So that leaves this one minor issue... 4. Bigger font on main list page. Now for wish list not affecting rating: 1. Maps for highway selections. 2. Maps showing messages/closures/chain requirements 3. Traffic (nice to have everything in one place) 4. CHP incidents. I don't rate apps often but this app is awesome and has great potential!! Thanks! Well worth the $2❕❕❕

Hwy 12 closed both directions in Sacramento county for hours and this app doesn't have any info. I had to look it up on caltrans. Why pay for an app that doesn't show the info when it's needed. Poor :(

Every time I read the Caltrans site I feel like my eyes are going to bleed. As someone who is always on the road, having an interface that is visually grabbing and easy to use is a godsend for me! 5 stars!!!
