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 un-installed and installed back the app. Now it works.

It is using an insane amount of battery. I couldn't work out why my battery was down to 66% after 5 hours and this app was using it all.

With this app installed you won't have any battery to call for help if you need it. The idea is pretty neat but the execution is really bad. Uninstalled for increased safety.
