Description
The West Virginia 511 Drive Safe mobile app provides drivers with audible, hands-free traffic alerts from their smartphone.
Open the app when you get in the car to begin your drive then set the phone aside while driving. The WV 511 Drive safe app will use your phone's speaker and GPS location to provide you with the audible travel advisories near your current location as you drive.
In the settings menu you can customize the app to adjust the advisory replay interval and the number of miles radius for which you are interested in receiving advisories.
HOW IT WORKS
While driving you will receive audible updates on nearby construction, crashes, traffic delays, weather advisories and other helpful traveler information on nearby interstates and other high priority roadways while being able to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The WV 511 Drive Safe app will continue to update you with nearby advisories as your vehicle continues to move.
The application gives you audio player controls for Play, Pause, Stop, Skip, and Replay All. If the GPS signal is not available the device will utilize the highest precision location tool available (whether it be GPS or cell tower triangulation).
You do not need to register to use this app or to get these alerts. We don't get or record any identifying information about you or your phone. By default, you will be elected into reporting your device-determined speed along with your location to our servers, but you can elect to opt-out from within the application. You must opt-out of this selection each time the application is restarted.
The Technology The application is based on Information Logistics’ patent pending "Open Microphone Platform", which is a queue-driven streaming technology platform used in combination with your phone's built-in GPS. The data for the system is the WV travel advisory data.
IMPORTANT - Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
IMPORTANT - NON-GPS DEVICES This application will have some limited functionality on these devices.

At this stage, I'm surprised it's not terrible. I honestly have no idea what some of the other reviewers are talking about. We just passed a law prohibiting texting, and they want video and maps on a DRIVING app. And the description says no video. So why post a rating on a feature that's not mentioned? I'm OK without wrecking while checking where that wreck may be on a map. And of course it's going to have the features of the website. Know why? Your data usage would go through the roof, and you'd stop using the app since you can't afford the data. And it does indeed have a "settings" area. It's the graphic of the wrench that's smack dab on the main screen near the top, in the middle. So, not misleading. It's all there, and does exactly as it's supposed to. So as far as extra frills and stuff I don't need, I'm fine with it considering all those taxes we complain about....they paid for the app to be free and does exactly as promised. Sure, it can get an upgrade. But for now, it's a minimalist app that does what we need now. Too many bells and whistles now means a nightmare if there are issues and the app being useless. For being free and doing precisely what the description says it does, five stars for now.

Very good for traffic alerts on the major roads.

Excellent app. Great app that does exactly what is described. I cannot fathom why people would be complaining about not having any video. COME ON PEOPLE, you are supposed to be paying attention to the road and you're driving, not playing with your phone. This morning it gave me two advisories, pinpointed by the mileage markers. All I had to do was listen. No taking my eyes off the road or fiddling with a map. I only wish that the app covered other states as well. Job well done by the developer(s).
