I am in a huge traffic jam and the app shows absolutely nothing. Google Maps shows red and that E20 it's closed. Been here for almost an hour and your app doesn't show any problem on E20. UPDATE: I uninstalled and installed back the app. Now it works.

The app is great, and it does its work, but it's having a problem recently. It's telling me about location, that I should have it on all the time, and I do have it on. Has been that for days now and it's annoying.
★★★★★Linus Sjövall· Mar 16, 2022
Simple to use, and doesn't spam with notifications, they only come whene there is a real problem in the local area.
★★★★★Anders Johansson· May 25, 2023
Does not open the app when clicking notifications anymore. Update: Fixed!
★☆☆☆☆Erik Lindqvist· Feb 21, 2024
Consumes a lot of battery in the background. Which is counters its objective as it needs unrestricted battery usage to be effective, otherwise notifications doesn't go through.
★☆☆☆☆Magnus Persson· Mar 5, 2026
Do not have GPS location turned on at all times. I try to optimize the battery usage and use services like GPS and Bluetooth when needed. Otherwise, they are turned off. App uninstalled.
★★☆☆☆Marco Vismara· Feb 15, 2023
It's a good app but why this app is not available in English? It is inconsiderate and divisive assuming that every person who is in Sweden speaks Swedish.
