Description:
Straightforward traffic info application for the United States. Enter a city/state or zip code or use your current position to find local traffic reports using Yahoo © traffic services. You can save your reports for quick recall. The purpose of this application is to quickly get text-based traffic information for the areas you frequently drive or care about. There are no integrated maps. The Google maps application on the iPhone does a great job at traffic maps. From any incident in the TrafficInfo application you can click on a button that takes you to the location of the incident in Google maps. NOTE: This app relies on the yahoo traffic services to get its information. The Yahoo services are not available in all areas of the country. If you get an error or no results, you should try again, but the reason may be that Yahoo isn't pulling information from your area.


Reviews:
Works Great  By: Billerica-MA - Feb 8, 2009 Version: 1.1 I hesitated downloading this at first based on the negative reviews. I'm glad I didn't listen to my first instinct. I download the app and set it up to show the traffic in the area I will use most. It works great. It gives me just the information I need to know during rush hour. If I am in an area where I don't know my way around a traffic situation, I can easily link to Google maps to find an alternate route. I think this is a very nicely done app.
Aggregates data well  By: dbkliv - Dec 29, 2008 Version: 1.1 This free app does what it claims to do: grabs traffic data from Yahoo! and displays it on your phone. Unlike many free apps for the iPhone, this one does *not* contain annoying advertisements.
Creating a traffic report is easy. You can search by zipcode, address, or current location. People who aren't finding results are probably creating too stringent reports; try looking for a wider radius from your current location, and looking for less severe reports.
Or Yahoo! just doesn't have any traffic data for this app to scrape. I'd expect future versions of the app to support more traffic feeds beyond Yahoo!'s, perhaps integration with municipal traffic cameras, but little else.
The map button launches Google Maps; it's a simple thing to get directions from your current location to the source of the traffic report. Using the stock map app, you can view traffic data.
This is a good app. It solves an annoying problem ("Why is traffic so slow?") and nothing more. The interface is easy to figure out, and the app solves its target problem without inventing new ones to solve.
Well done.
Great for my commute  By: rastaman68 - Dec 4, 2008 Version: 1.0 I picked up this new traffic app this morning and put it to work right away! I commute on highway 101 northbound to drop of my son at school and then southbound to go to work. With a few clicks I created a report that checks both north & south bound trafic in a 10 miles radius from my home. I can now quickly run this report every morning as I get into my car. This morning it told me there was an accident close to my exit, so I avoided the highway. Nice!
