Apple’s iTunes is a little lacking in the department of rating apps. Mostly when anyone rates an app they do so when they are deleting it from their iPhone, or if they really really love the app. Another thing that is lacking is allowing the developers to have a line of communication with the app users. I thought a survey might help bridge this gap and help me to communicate with the users of my app. I’ve had a survey online since July to collect some feedback from the users of my app.

Results:

Out of 62 people who have filled out the survey, PA Traffic Cams has an overall rating of 3.9 out of 5. Mostly everyone said they would recommend the app or already has recommended it. There were 4 people who said they wouldn’t.

Features:

Over half of the responders have said they loved the traffic speed map feature, and almost all of the rest have found it moderately to somewhat useful. I’m glad that it was a useful feature. Google has released a newer version of their maps. I’m waiting on them to implement this feature into the latest version of their maps. Since I am running the older version, it runs a little bit on the slow side.

One thing to note, I do not control how many cameras or in which location the cameras are placed. PennDOT is solely responsible for the cameras, and I am in no way shape or form associated with them. I merely have created an app to allow users to easily navigate and view them. I try my best to check PennDOT’s website and update the app with new cameras when they are made available. If you know a link to any cameras not on the app, please send me an email and I will work on adding them.

A few of you have requested making this app for the BlackBerry. I’m sure people on the Android will also want this app. I unfortunately do not own a BlackBerry or an Android which creates a little bit of a challenge for me. I can test the app in the simulators, but I have no way to know if it will actually work on the device. I don’t ever want to put out software that does not function. Things may change in the future, but for the moment I will not be developing for the other phones.

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who has filled out the survey. I do appreciate the time everyone took to fill it out. Your feedback will allow me to determine what features to add in upcoming releases. Speaking of which… If you have an idea please send me an email, I would love to hear about it.
